KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Can he be the boss?

my personal point of view Henderson is a good squad player, I wouldn't say he's a key player and I wouldn't say he is a leader. I guess we have been spoilt with gerrard in the past and expect to much from our captain. It's not just him I think the whole team is missing a leader. When I see hendo square up to another player trying to be the boss or the alpha male so to speak I think what is he doing he just doesn't give me that's our captain feel like the Gerrard terry kompany Keane viera we need someone who has some grit about them. But on saying that I can't think of anyone else either who has that effect in our current squad, we have the manager he's awesome at getting players fired up we just need a player to do it on the pitch.

the keane/veira types are disappearing, hendo is the nearest thing to it and we are lucky to have him, he has much more ability than Can who looks like he can play the anchor role now which is great but which will always be less important to a be everywhere performance hendo can give

Hendo is a bang average player with a good engine.

Can't shoot, Average tackle and I'd have to say, average to below average passing... he plays the short / easy pass everytime. I don't hate the guy and don't need to slag him personally, but in my eyes he's a slightly more polished version of Joe Allen.

He now has a heel injury that has been reported as an injury that will always reoccur throughout his career - if we are to become a force again then he either has to improve or be shipped out in the next 18 / 24 months or so.

I wouldn't move him on this summer, but I would certainly be keeping an eye out for his replacement in the meantime.
