KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Unsung heroes of the season.

F*ck off. He has led his team to number six and without his performance against Barca in particular, it's likely we would never have gotten there. He could barely walk after that horror tackle from Leglet, but he took painkillers and ran himself into the ground anyway.

He's a tireless runner, a good tackler, a leader, and an excellent passer of the ball. Sideways bolx. It's like you haven't ever actually watched him play. It was his 40 yard forward pass on Saturday that found Mane before the pen. He's the captain of on of the best Liverpool sides in the premier league error, and whether or not he's quite the player Souness or Gerrard were, he deserves more respect than this.

Every team needs a water carrier.

Henderson these last few games has been excellent. Captained a side to 97 points. Only Kompany has done better.

Just a warning to people trying to knock us or our players. I can and will use this 97 point and CL win argument at every opportunity. And there ain't much of a comeback on that.

Henderson has stepped up since VVD came to the club and that is because there is competition for the Captaincy. Milner I hear is the most vocal one in the dressing room before kick off and at HT. Anyone of the 3 is now Captain and that's great news for the team.

Gini has been an unsung hero this season, he's played in a variety of positions and has been consistent, even chipping in with important goals.

Origi you could say has been an unsung hero but I'd be worried having to rely on him "if" we get a long term injury for any of the front 3. I think Origi has shown himself to be the current David Fairclough...great impact sub but cannot rely on him for any length of time to fill in.

Matip has been another unsung hero, he's stepped it up since Gomez got injured and thank God he kept our Mr Bean of the team, Lovren out of the first 11.

My word. He’s not as good as Cech or Lavezzi either.

Djimi T also won the CL with us.
Are all you Henderson lovers going to claim he is Liverpool legend and great player now as well?


No one will sway me that Henderson is a bang average player in our team. And along with Migs, Moreno, Lovren, the weak links of our team.


If Keita had been fit I doubt Henderson would have played anyway.

Just shows how little you know.

This is straw man whataboutism, and it's utter nonsense.

Traore got a medal by being in a team that somehow fluked its way to the final, and pulled off a miracle thanks to a Rafa masterclass and the second half performance of Gerrard, Alonso, Hamman, Carragher, and Dudek's careers. He came off at what, halftime?

Henderson got MOTM against Barcelona in the semis when every other player in a red shirt had an 8/10 or better. He led this team to its highest ever points tally and a champions league final as a regular starter and key contributor. This team didn't fluke its way to the final, they conquered and outclassed every team they played.

Is Henderson in the same tier as Gerrard, Dalglish, or Souness? Of course not, but few players will ever match that standard. But is he in the same league as Redknapp or Ince (at LFC, not United)? I would say so. He's certainly accomplished more for us than those did.
