I have second thoughts. Forgot Lichaj. Sorry mate. Grosicki Lichaj (Not because his missus is fit. I have never seen her). Irvine
Stewart is probably the worst player ive ever seen and ive seen some bad ones. its not just one game, its every one he features in. what does he actually offer? would rather play with 10 men than have him in the team. MOTM id probably say lichaj, he seems up for the fight and always battles, shame his crossing was shocking. then Irvine. shows how bad the team was when someone who played so little is getting it from most people
Stewart is far worse right now than Junior Lewis. Lewis knew his limitations and played within them. Stewart keeps trying, I’ll credit him with that, but he keeps trying things he’s not capable of. Like passing more than ten yards to a team mate. Henriksen was tremendous last night, he was the only player keeping the midfield together much of the time. He never stopped communicating, broke down loads of their moves and maintained possession. We’ve got plenty of pressing problems to deal with - I’m not sure Henriksen is one of them.
Tremendous? Is that you Nigel? Maybe not as terrible as Stewart and others but nobody was anywhere near tremendous last night
We lost 1-0. I think it could have been a landslide given how many of our players failed to perform, and Henriksen was part of the reason why that was avoided.
I honestly think you are looking at Henriksen through Henriksen tinted glasses. Either that or you are indeed Henriksen himself? Flattered to deceive again. If we had even a semi competent midfield - Henriksen would not make that starting 11 - it’s that simple.
Grosicki looked good, and interested, early on but faded a lot I thought. I’d have still left him on mind you
He was our standout midfielder last night, by a mile. Doesn’t mean he’s not also replaceable. Won’t happen under Ehab’s stewardship though.
If we're talking about the best of our central midfield three last night (after Irvine went off), you can put him in a minority of at least 2.
I thought Henriksen was 'ok' last night - Kane had a stinker, Stewart was half ok and half stinker - Bowen tries to do too much and disappoints - Lichaj's crosses stunk the place out and Martin is either totally unfit or past it - much too slow - hard to pick a MOTM Grosicki - always looked like he might make something happen Elphick - looked assured at the back Irvine - our chance went downhill when he went off
Saying Henrikson was our best midfielder last night is hardly proof he is a good player. He was poor, our whole midfield got utterly dominated. Would I drop him? No as there is noone else. He might have been our best midfielder but he certainly didn't play well.
