Henderson

I really feel sorry for Henderson on a matchday, his biggest problem is he's a local lad. Loads of mouthy bastards near me expect him to be a world beater. He's got loads of potential but he's still only 20, for god's sake give him a break. If this continues, I would fully support him if he decides to leave.

I remember watching a young Steven Gerrard and thinking he was crap.
 
his form wouldn't matter to half the people on here, as long as he was kicking people six feet up into the air all the time he'd achieve hero status
 
Is that a joke???

He only passes sideways and backwards. So what does he need to look up and think about? Whats for his dinner?

Utter drivel.

Stupid chavvy "catchphrase" being perpetuated by idiots who can't think for themselves. Annoys the fuck out of me because it blatantly isn't true.

Henderson has been consistently creative for us this season and one of the better players we have at finding a man forward of his position.

I don't think many people would be arsed if Henderson left. He's a canny player, maybe he does have potential but either way whether you like it or not he hasn't been adding enough to the team lately. His distribution has been poor, his passing is negative and he doesn't have a final product.

How many goals has he scored? He gets in good positions but he's frightened to drive forward and have a go at goal. I wish we'd shoot more from outside the box.

Has Henderson shagged your lass or something?

Some fair points about our blunt midfield, but why exactly is Henderson more responsible than the rest?
Richardson has scored a few, would you prefer him? Plenty on here want to string him up, too.
 
He was massively overrated to start with, but is probably now massively underrated as its the in thing to slag him off. People forget that he's only 20, and he's shown far more already than many other fan favourites we've had over the years.

He really needs to be taken out of the firing line and given a rest though.
 
Some of our nugget supporters would moan like fuck about certain Man Utd players. Their players stupidly keep passing to their own players, even if it's a sideways or backwards pass, because they understand that it's better to keep the ball and make the opposition team use their energy chasing it. Our nuggets would be screaming for any old pass as long as forward even if it is likely to concede possession!
 
Thank the lord, the common sense brigade are starting to overcome the gobshites

Old guy a few rows in front of us does this, goes f***ing mental, red in the face and wild eyed, if we pass along the back 4 and back again, maybe to a midfielder who has dropped back and then back to a fullback or whatever. He screams 'Get it forward man, get the f***ing ball forward, you're not gonna score from there... ' etc. Like with an hour to go against Blackpool he was going apeshit, honestly reckon he will die in his seat right in front of us. That would make us all very sad... (Had to change that cos if he did die on Sat I'd feel a little shitty.)

The thing I like about Richardson is when he has the opportunity to shoot, he does. Henderson is a frustrating player to watch, he rarely shoots when outside the box. In fact, his wayward shot against Liverpool that went high and wide was the first time I felt I'd seen him have a shot for yonks.

I just don't see the fuss with the lad. His passing isn't anything special, he can't tackle, he doesn't score and his set pieces are woeful.
 
I hope Henderson leaves us for his own good. He will never win over some of our support and will constantly be abused everytime he misplaces a pass :neutral:

I think that's untrue. He's been playing very poorly for months now yet he's started every game (probably due to injuries though). People don't just get on players back for the hell of it. He has not been doing enough. BTW, I don't agree with fans getting on the lads back and I don't think they have been. I think people are beginning to realise he's not as good as the media were building him up to be.

On the set pieces, I firmly believe Bruce is telling him to hit the near post. If you watch, that's the majority of corners no matter who takes them. We know from open play the boy can cross. Confidence to shoot will come with age.

He's far from the finished article but when the crowd cheered when muntari took a corner against tottenham (?) that was a disgrace.

Every player gets moaned at when they lose the ball, you not watch the match tonight..?

There is only one person that can improve him and that is himself, if he's not up to it he might as well leave.
Not sure who will buy him though, he is not top club standard unless he does improve dramatically in the next two months.

How long do we wait? The aim of the game is to score, if he hasn't figured that out by 20 what hope does the lad have?

With regards to Bruce telling him to hit the near post, I very much doubt it. Even if he does you'd think Henderson would use his head and realise it wasn't working.

It's Steve Bruces fault he is poor, well there is some truth in it, it shouldn't be taking corners or playing for that matter. ;)
