    Sorry saint disagree.

    They showed on motd couple of weeks ago he could have passed foward but chose not to. Nothing to do with playing safe.

    Vvd bollocked him tonite the true leader in the team.

    This is all going the same way of lucas situation of accepting average.

    Disagree away. Klopp himself has said that Hendo is there to protect the others.

    So he could have played ball forward but chose to play backwards because?

    I think when he plays no 6 he's under Instructions to not lose the ball at any cost, he just takes this a bit to far.

    He's basically a part of the back five and there to stop teams breaking on us, and being straight at the defence.

    I've said before he's ok going forward as long as he is competitive on the middle, he can not turn 180 degrees with the ball at his feet.

    Now you're just trying to trap me. I have no idea what incident you're talking about. It could be one of any number of reasons and we'd have to analyse the individual situation to come to a conclusion.
    Look - we're never going to agree on this so it's pointless banging on. All I know is that if Klopp wasn't satisfied with the way he plays he wouldn't be picking him unless there was no alternative. That, to me, is a self-evident truth.

    Could we improve on Hendo? Absolutely.

    Is he doing what's asked? I think so.

    Is he causing a issue with the team? Results suggest not.

    Not trying to trap you at all you plonker lol.

    Jimmy posted a pic of game. He could have played a simple pass foward and put bobby in for shot on goal but chose to pass back to defence and chance gone.

    I dont believe klopp would tell him to do this, and its a mentality thing.

    Is it pressure of being captain who knows?but vvd should be in my opinion. He oozes class and calmness, like allison does.

    There are two different arguments here. I've said nothing about the captaincy. I agree that it should be Virgil and I think it probably will be in time. However it's a title only - strong-willed players will show their leadership qualities regardless of who has the armband.

    Today Klopp could have started Shaqiri, Fabinho or Keita instead of Henderson - but he didn't. That tells me that he's happy with what Henderson does, in the set-up that he wants. And - shock, horror - I trust Klopp's opinion more than that of any of us on here.

    Klopp obviously wouldn't have been as specific as to say in that exact position he should pass to VVD.

    The advice would be "keep the ball, play it simple and build from the back whilst protecting the defence and what we have".

    We all know Hendo can play, he can pass superbly too. But he's not doing it lately and there as to be a reason. Klopp's not dropping him which suggests Jurgen is happy.

    2+2=4

    When i have seen it with my own eyes yes.

    Jimmy just happen to post a pic of what i was refering to.

    The defence of henderson is funny. bit like lucas.

    Great result, we swarmed them and were defensively outstanding. I don't think Napoli would be much better than upper mid-table in the PL though

    It's not a "defence". It's an objective analysis.

    Take the occasion / situation away and we batter then 5-0 or 6-0. Poor finishing was a result of nerves imo.

    Klopp rightly said the second goal wouldn't have made a slight but if difference.

    That still Jimmy posted proves **** all :emoticon-0114-dull:

    Klopp has him as club captain and he also represents a half decent national side regularly

    Hendo and Keita aren't in direct competition for a place in the team
