I know a lot of people find Pep's press conferences bland as he comes across as petulant and sour but I'm absolutely loving how he has zero tolerance for the media's wum questions.
I thought he batted away first Geoff Shreeves ridiculous questions then the entire media posse who cant be bothered to talk about the actual game of football. Its sad how the media are so desperate for a story and cant even focus on a compelling game where tactics, injuries and substitutions contributed to a good game.
Lately you can see the media dont know what to ask him anymore and its brilliant to watch. For so long the media have been allowed to poke and prod on non football matters just to get a story.
Then Geoff Shreeves manages to convince one city player (Bernardo) to answer questions and badgers him to comment on something that he clearly states he has not seen
How desperate and embarrassing!
Then Klopp told the Sky cameras to walk away as he wanted to celebrate with the Anfield crowd. I have noted lately that even Klopp has stopped entertaining the wum questions aswell.
Pep,Klopp and Bernardo

Perhaps Henderson isn't average? Maybe that's why.
I mean it could be you see something that Klopp doesn't, and this Liverpool side could be even better were it not for Henderson or maybe there is a reason Henderson is a mainstay in big games for arguably the best team on the planet.

Fair enough, hence I said I just find it weird how a dominant team can have a limited Midfielder in my opinion but lets leave it there.
At the end of the day teams are more about the sum of their parts.Peps best Barca side and probably the best club side ever consisted of the following players
1. Victor Valdes (Good player)
2. Dani Alves (World Class)
3. Eric Abidal (Good Player)
4. Jave Mascherano (Good Player)
5. Gerrard Pique (Good Player)
6. Busquets (World Class)
7. Xavi (World Class)
8. Iniesta (World class)
9. Villa (Good player)
10. Messi (Goat)
11. Pedro (average player)
In my opinion Pep had an even stronger side at Bayern and achieved less so football is like that.

I dont think he is a wum is he?
Tbh I find how people appraise Henderson a litmus test for how much they understand football.

I used to do similar with Sterling.

Bit ridiculous to be honest.
I think Henderson being part of a successful Liverpool team just goes to show how good Klopp is at building a team and getting that team to perform better than the sum of its parts.
I watch Henderson for England and he looks like a carthorse.
I'm sure he's better than we give him credit for, but equally it's not some sort of evidence of lack of knowledge if you don't particularly rate him.

Southgate is an average manager who doesn't have a clue.
Henderson is deployed in an advanced role in our midfield who makes inside runs to drag opponent players out of position. This allows Trent to have space to make his crosses. His movement off the ball is right up there with the best.
Henderson is also one of the best crossers in our team. He has high energy to press for 90 minutes.

People saying he had no game intelligence was a good one for Sterling.

Crikey David Villa was only a 'good player', gunnersaurus is hard to please.

He's a strange one really, he has a very particular set of skills & Klopp has managed to set up a system which highlights his skills and covers his deficiencies. Obviously he's a superb professional, a clever player and has a good level of talent, but in another team I could see him looking like a lesser player.
