Jordan Henderson- underrated?

Is what everyone will start saying if Liverpool win the league. That's how fickle football fans are. He'd get an OBE and everything. Pundits will fall for his world-class sideways play.

Every champion has had a no nonsense midfielder in the park to keep things simple and retain and recycle possession and let the other players play their game.

Scholes, Carrick, Makalele, Yaya etc.

But seriously, I think Hendo can get unnecessary slate a lot of the times. He can do more with his ability in terms of attacking but he is simply doing what is asked of him in order for the team to be able to play Klopp's game. A footballing brain can see that.

In his defence I think Henderson’s attitude and off the field personality etc makes him a very good ambassador for our club. I do take peoples point about his behaviour and it is captain like but for me he isn’t a captain on the pitch so to speak

Ooops.

Yeah I dont think you know what a captain of a football club does. I will bet money that almost yo a man the players want Henderson.

Hence why I asked you about leadership qualities.

You seem to be making a conclusion without reason.

I think its more of a case that I dont know ehat you mean tbh. Probably my fault.

Rather than arbitrary measurements what do you think a club captain does?

Henderson is massively underrated, top top player only let down by his goal return. Actually think all round he’s better than Gerrard was as well as being a better leader on and off the pitch, but Stevie was far better in front of goal.

Henderson can tackle better than Scholes

Henderson never tackles

He was only behind Fernandinho and Robertson for most tackles in the City game

I think it’s a whole host of qualities - some I mentioned earlier but I think ultimately it comes down to a few primary factors. Who do the players look to for motivation/direction? Who exhibits leadership qualities and remains in control amidst difficult conditions.

I’d argue that it’s Virgil and I think the consensus would too.

Mate, I simply asked what you think they actually do without arbitrary measurements.

Think job spec
