I have a couple of questions too. (Not related to last night, just general thoughts I have most games.)

1. Jordan Henderson, does anyone think the lad is any good? I really struggle to see anything he brings to the table and would happily shift him on and get a better midfielder in.

2. Adam Lallana, brilliant in the big games, but doesnt seem to have it in a lot of games. Love his work rate though can never take that away from him. Does he have a future at the club? I really like him, just wish he was consistently good.

Just want to know what anyone else feels on these two? All my friends who support Liverpool love Hendo, I just dont see it?

So feel free to tell me your thoughts!

1. Jordan is carrying a serious heel injury that means he will have to change the way he plays. tbh him and Can have been excellent in midfield for the past couple of games.

2. Lallana is an interesting one, he has all the talent but just not the brain that is required. The amount of times ive screamed at him for holding on to the ball is too **** high. If he carries on his form until the end of the season, then perhaps keep him as backup.
 
1. The captain was a big disappointment again for me last night. His overall game was better (he is still carrying the heal injury so that's always a consideration), but he's just not the dominant leader you want to wear the armband. And some of his shooting was beyond poor. He is what he is. Just a hard working, average player. Never gotten the cult status. At the very least he needs relieving of the armband next year. Think my views on the average Henderson are well known on these here pages.

2. All Lallana lacks for me to being up there in the top bracket of players this league is pace. His ability and work rate are ridiculous. But he just lacks that speed to get away from players. The one constant frustration is there's been no end product to his skill. But of late, he's been far more direct and has been finally adding that. Even if we get to situation where he's just quality depth on the bench next year, that's a major step forward in squad strength right there. Certainly can't see him leaving and I would keep him around as part of the squad personally. Plus he's homegrown.

He's average, but brings disciplined work rate which is important to the pressing game. Not a massive rush to replace him, but if I could I would. Certainly not convinced he should be captain by any means, though I'm not sure you have anyone I would give the armband to.

2. Needs much greater consistency, and better focus, most teams will not give him the yards of space we did. Still a good player, but plenty to work, can be very very good if he can learn quickly.

1. In my opinion henderson shouldn't be the captain it seriously affects him, i dont think hes got enough to be a liverpool captain near enough every captain weve had threw the years have turned into club legends i seriously doubt he will become one of them.

2. Lallana has seriously frustrated me in the same way coutinho can do both really good players but something missing lallana pace lets him down but then very composed as showed for the 2nd goal then coutinho at the minute looks like hes in firminos shadow got the pace which lallana has but im pretty sure coutinho would have just put his foot threw the ball and hoped it went in

1. I like Henderson, but not in the role he seems to have taken up this season... He has almost took over the Gerrard deeper playmaker role which i dont think suits him as much. I would be in no rush to replace him, but in an ideal world there are obviously better players out there.

Not to forget his best attributes are used in a high intensity/pressing system

2. Again, a good player to have in the squad and certainly has a future. His price tag may be a factor in people's opinions of him but he has been fantastic recently. Needs to add more goals and consistency to his game though
 
UEFA still waiting for referee's report from last night. Fellaini should learn his fate this afternoon after that elbow on Can #LFC #MUFC

You're left half hoping they don't do him for violent conduct and ban him as you want him out on the park next Thursday!
 
With regards to Henderson, I saw a stat last night that said he and Can won possession back 22 times between them or something, and there was an image showing how it was in all different places on the pitch. I like Henderson and I think he's being held back by the heel injury. I'd like to see him rested for a couple of weeks, but failing that, I expect he'll be performing much better after an offseason, however short it may be. I also agree with Marshall that he's not playing his ideal role.

Lallana I feel contributes a lot of intangibles which sometimes don't get the credit they deserve. He could still contribute more directly, but he has been doing that a bit more recently, so hopefully it continues.

Agreed, as amusing as it would have been for him to be sent off, we didn't need them down to 10. Would prefer it happen at Trafford. Although he's a slight aerial threat so I'd hate to see him score
 
Well done lads.
Didn't get to see the match because I had to pull an all nighter. But just woke up and had a good read about it.
It's nearly 5 in the evening, so I'm having Carlsberg for breakfast :)

Hopefully the match at OT can be a bit more exciting for all of us.

Agree, hendo's heel injury means it curbs his best attribute. His ability to get up and down the pitch with ease, hopefully he can learn to play through it. It seems people have short memories and forgotten how important hendo was for us during the title run a season or two ago. He has an excellent first touch and a good passing range. Is he the best midfielder in the world. No. However im sure he will continue to improve and prove why he should be LFC captain. Not long ago he was part of a swap deal and heading for fulham. Shows how far he has come.
 
Ibe in the U21 side against United tonight. There's a kick up the **** right there on his form.
 
Great pic of the outside of the Kop the '70's. Honestly didn't change much right at all up until it was pulled down and rebuilt the early '90's. Amazing to think how something so basic became such a force behind the club turning Anfield into one of the most recognisable grounds in Europe.
