He isn't a newcomer to the Premiership tho is he? Remember he got dropped by Sunderland and booed by his own fans for being rubbish before we splashed out on him!
He's young and English, fair enough. This however doesn't give him a free pass!

Just because he has EPL experience doesn't mean he will fit straight in at another club, especially one with Liverpool's pedigree. It's been said before, and by people much more football-savvy than I, that foreigners adapt to a change to an EPL side better than most British players in their first season. And again, he's a young player learning his trade, far from the finished article. But I'm wasting my time, yeah? You've made your mind up about him (maybe the same way you made your mind up about Lucas 3-4 seasons ago when he was much the same age), and even if he runs through barn doors for LFC you'll never think he deserves to play for us because we wasted 20m on him.

Lets give every player, a chance under the new manager. Henderson did look better than last year. Downing looked better,a nd Enrique looked more like his first half of the season last year than his second half. It'd would be impossible for him NOT to look better than he did last year! Besides, anyone can look decent against p1ss poor opposition.

yes certainly jonjo looks up for it and a proper go getter,just wish he had a turn of pace..hendo is a hider, we will have to cut our losses on him. , always recycling possession, always keeping things moving. True, he doesn't make many hollywood passes, and he doesn't take many defenders on (which is unfortunate because he has the pace and ability), but that doesn't mean he's hiding from the game. People call him "5-yard pass" or the "invisible man" because he's doing the grunt work. If everyone would move with their passes like he's doing, our possession would have been much better last night. LOL - the biggest lie EVER told on this forum!!

Have I missed something? Gomel deserved to win. They missed an open goal twice, along with a few amazing chances that even Carroll would have put away. We controlled the possesion and tempo after we scored but they did more than enough to win. We did NOT look good. Not good at all.

Just because Lucas made a drastic turnaround doesn't mean every player will though...so its a bit of a nothing argument. Yes it does show that there is the possibility that Henderson will come good. But that's it, its a possibility, not even a particularly big one. Myself, I'd give him another seaosn to see if that possibility grows into something more concrete then decide, but anyone who wants to do that is like myself basing it on hope, not a critical analysis of him. So if someone says They wanna cut and run on him, that's all fair enough I'm afraid because he was so absolutely god awful last season that many don't want to hold out hope for him and would rather have some money for a new player.
