KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Jordan Henderson called team meeting ahead of Liverpool win

Problem is no one in the squad would have initiated the meeting.

We have a team without any leaders.

My argument is that it should be ongoing for a Captain to be talking to the players...good or bad results, on and off the pitch!

Why (after a run that has seen us go out of both Cup competitions and on the cusp of falling out of the CL places, when before the start of the year we had pretensions of the title and in a commanding position for a CL place)...did the Captain decide to call the players for a meeting before the Spurs game?

That run from January onwards saw us lose 5 times, draw 4 times with 1 FA Cup replay win @ League 2 Plymouth.

It's unacceptable to me, that our rot had been allowed to run so deep before anything was done!

How do you know he doesn't do it? I'd imagine they have player meetings all the time.

What was so special about this one that Lallana felt compelled to broadcast it?
If this was ongoing Lallana would have said so!

It seems that you are using it as a stick to beat him with. You don't rate him as a captain, so no matter what he did you weren't going to be impressed by it.

You're right, I don't rate him as Liverpool's Captain and this only underlines why!

Actually I think it shows him taking responsibility as captain and trying to do something to reverse results.

How do you know he doesn't?

Maybe because it's not been relevant with us doing well up until January? We don't know what goes on inside the club so to think this is the only time it happens could be way off the mark.

Is this how far we have come as fans that we celebrate a meeting between the players that ended in a positive result after the humiliating run we've been on? That the Captain is credited for the result!

How far we have fallen...our expectations eviscerated...this proud Club that once conquered all before them is celebrating things happening off the pitch!

Maybe my expectations are higher than everybody else's? but we still command the 6th most following the world over, that in itself should see us with more success on the pitch.

This battle of removing all hope has been well and truly won by FSG, If fans idea of success is off the pitch...
