KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Henderson, Adams, Maxi = worst midfield in league

What we all need to remember is that Adam was effectively a quarterback at Blackpool. The players around him worked their balls off to buy him the space for those Hollywood passes. Being in a bigger club with far better technical players has shown how far short he is of being good enough. He is slow and cannot hold a position in the middle of the pitch without being caught for pace or fouling a player or being pressurised into poor passes.

I'd take £5m for him now from someone like QPR and as much as I cannot stand the little 5hite Barton at least he has a bit of fight in him. With the right players in the team Adam would not get a game so ship him out now because he will never be good enough.

completely agree he is not the type of player that we want in our starting 11 when trying to finish top 4.

I will be disappointed if Adam is not dropped for the next game or two.

same goes for maxi

I dunno what to say as I'm bewildered confused and saddened.
Just staggered that both him and Carrol were seemingly so good for their old clubs, but just so sh1te for us.
I had high hopes for both of them, not to mention all the other pups we've bought...apart from one man team, the truly brilliant and fast becoming a future legend bulldozer Bellamy.

Agree with a lot of this, Adam/SG/Henderson shouldn't all start together.

Someone mentioned Parker costing the same as Adam - how depressing is that?? I think we picked him up for a decent price though and will get at least that for him or more in the summer. Completely agree with Esso and was thinking this yesterday - his Blackpool team mates worked round him to give him time and space, he can't get that now and it's showing him up.

We desperately need a right winger or henderson will be yet another played played out of position, losing his confidence and labeled a flop.

And yet again, he came out to big up Downing, then dropped him?

Bellamy was the only outlet yesterday.

Raul M has actually been pretty poor for Chelsea this season. Certainly no better than Henderson has been for us (and at least Henderson gets around the pitch and will get better). Of course Raul is a million times better than Charlie Adam. I was speaking to a Celtic fan who told me about Adam's demise in the Scottish league. Basically Adam doesn't do passing to players but rather he just hits the ball into a zone. The problem was that Rangers weren't good enough to work to this system and so Adam just kept punting balls upfield to no-one. Kinda sounds familiar to what he does for us. He also can't tackle and is too slow for the modern game.

It's important not to blame the players. They are the victims of poor management when they are signed because of certain strengths but then asked to play differently.......only to be criticised by their manager when things get shaky!

I still rate Henderson. When he plays in the middle where he is ment to play, especially along side Gerrard, he performs well.

You 'avin' a bloody laf?

Biggest bunch of bone idle unskilled talentless couldn't give a toss grossly obscenly overpaid fairies I've ever clapped me eyes on.
I've seen harder graft going on in a coffin.
