just wait... tell you what.. when you see what I'm mean just say "yeah... see it" then I'll just and that'll be that. none of this childish stuff needed.
please log in to view this image so you are actually interested in what I actually am saying? uber cool. what i am saying exactly is as follows: 1. the guy is a decent player. no question. 2. He looks like he can read the game well enough and passes it nicely. 3.but.... if he gets caught out of the no 6 role he is going to struggle to get back into position against the type of midfielders and half forwards the prem has. if they get goal side of him he is out of the game. as I said if the game is in front of him he will do fine... it's on the transition where the problem lies.
Hendo's position on the pitch is an unglamorous one, but vitally important to us. A recent example was v C.Palace when he came on and just did the simple things. Receiving, one or two touches and releasing. Always in the right place. When we are being counter attacked in games, it is so often Hendo that reads the game and gets a foot in, or pushes a player wide or backwards. ( mates that watch games with me get sick of me pointing out that Hendo breaks up yet another counter) . The 'forward pass' thing is urban myth, he often does. And I was pleasantly surprised to read he has scored 24 goals during his time with us..........that's pretty good for a deep lying midfielder.
