Henderson on the right

langaz ftm · 16th February 2011, 10:25 AM

If catts is fit for everton i think jordan should be put out right again.

He simply isnt suited to the holding role that needs to be played by both central midfielders when we are playing with two attacking wide men

he will be fresh as a daisy after two weeks without a game, where playing away from home, lets not forget how good this lad is, take the pressure off put him on the wing and watch him go.

Bobbied - I've said it since he was moved into the centre, Henderson is a good dribbler/nutmegger and a crosser/passer of a moving ball. Midfield means tackling and winning the second ball in the air, he can do neither.

all this henderson on the right wing crap. he rarely beats a full back and is too slow.

Did you go to the SOL when he played on the wing sol2011? Or have you only been going since 2011?

Ya right, but his engine is second to none and this when playing away from home on the counter attack is pure gold.

i dont think brucie has missed this and imo he will put him out their as soon as he can, fair play to the lad for stepping up to the plate, its just to much to ask when we are on the back foot for long periods, it doesnt suit him at all.

Personally, I think our strongest middle 5 at the moment would be...

----------- Cattermole --- Muntari -----------
---------------------------------------------------
Sessegnon --------------------- Malbranque
---------------------------------------------------
------------------ Richardson ------------------

But in the grand scheme of actual ability over form...

----------- Cattermole --- Muntari -----------
---------------------------------------------------
Henderson --------------------- Malbranque
---------------------------------------------------
------------------ Sessegnon ------------------

all strong set ups and its great that we have the options, but away from home henderson can tuck in if needed better than most and counter quicker than steeeed.

he's not a very good winger and his crossing is shit. doesn't really do it for me as a winger or central midfielder at present.

Totally disagree, he's pulled off more nutmegs and got to the corner more than most from the wing and delivered some cracking crosses in the process. His linking up with the full back when he has been out wide is brilliant.

His crossing issues are with DEAD BALL situations, when he's ploughing down the right he's more dangerous than any of Elmo, Steed, Zenden, Richardson or (early days like) Sessegnon.

Well you must have your eyes shut, he seems quite adept at beating the full back when i've seen him play wide right.
