Just mentioned this on another thread, but I presumed he was a meant to be more deep lying playmaker (straight from Football Manager) rather than a Cattermole type player. However having this type player and then playing direct long ball football makes this role redundant straight away.Not really. Did Capello pick him thinking he was getting Cattermole? I actually think that Capello decided on a new system then tried to wedge players into it. If Henderson played any role in that system, it had to be somewhere in behind the front man.
I would be interested to see how many completed passes in a row we made last night compared to France and our average completed passes in a row compared to France.
Felt sorry for Henderson. I thought he played one of the better most creative balls when he split the french defence and played someone in. When Gerrard fecked off Henderson played further up the pitch more inline with where he plays for Sunderland and saw alot more of the ball.
Fuck I'm pissed off with England and the press today.
