I think its time to withdraw Henderson from the first team for a while, we've cover with the new guys, and his performances are now noticably getting worse - we forget his inexperianced and has, I think anyway, played the most matches of any first teamer ?
No - I think he just needs to get back to his best position, wide right. My guess is that Elmo will be benched for Stoke and Hendo will skin Danny Collins and have a stormer, MOTM, performance.
I think the best thing for the lad is to keep playing. I think a rest will knock his confidence even more. Sort of like doubting him after coming under some stick. We have a great midfield now and he needs to be involved.
put him on the wing were not gunna play chelsea every week could drop him at the wrong time against stoke he might do allright up to brucey thats for sure
It's up to one of the other lads to displace Henderson. Bruce will see them in training and he'll decide who seems most able. If Muntari settles, i can see him and Catts starting in the middle. Sessegnon probably will establish himself on the RW with Steed occupying the left wing. Welbeck and Gyan up front. The competition Muntari will provide in the centre will make a difference because Catts and Henderson have been assured of starts alomst the whole season.
Rest him, replace with Muntari, Hendo doesn't do the physical stuff too well whereas Muntari will get stuck right in and we all know what Stoke are going to do.
I'd give him a couple of games on the wing before giving him a rest if he keeps performing at the level he is.
fully agree, yet another that actually talks sense and is not blinded by the local lad so we have to worship him image
Why can't I have my own opinion? Just cos the lads from Sunderland...wow. Get over it lads and lasses, he's average!
