    That's a bit of a myth.. Pressure got to us as it did last year and in 2009..

    Hendo played in 5 out of 6 losses that season.

    The fact is despite all the talk - we blew the title when Rodgers tried to beat Chelsea (former boss Jose) in a game we didn't need to win. Gerrard slipped..we panicked and lost a game we were more than comfortable in. Then when 3 goals up away at Palace we went for GD and tried to win away by 6..! This is the reality

    Hendo was much improved that season - as was virtually every player in the team. A devastating attacking front line of Suarez - Sturridge and Sterling with Coutinho behind and Gerrard behind that... Makes the life of any player... a box-to-box one especially - one hell of a lot easier.

    Of course it's a myth, maybe Klopp could appeal to the premier league to get all games postponed until Henderson can play again. We obviously can't win without him lol.
    If you're not sure what to do with the ball, just put it in the net, and we'll talk about the other options later... Bob Paisley.

    don't talk about postponing games. It seems the entire football world who aren't LFC are creaming themselves at the prospect of the Coronavirus killing masses of people as long as we get denied the league title.

    What's been noticable in his absence is how passive and lacking in aggression and leadership we appear to be. I've been disappointed with vvd of late in terms of leading this team.

    We won our last 9 games of the season. I Would hardly say we bottled it!

    No manager worth his salt is gong out to try and draw games. We'd have all gone spastic if he'd set us up 4-5-1 and put everyone behind the ball.

    Yep, when you compare how both Watford and Chelsea pressed in comparison, it was quite evident.

    True - I just meant that in close title challenges teams do get tight - pressure mounts and results can wobble no matter the first 11.

    Last season we were epic but did have a poor spell drawing with the Foxes the SCUM, the BS and WH
