Henderson played in the draws against Fulham WBA Newcastle and Man Utd. What makes people think he would have made a difference against Burnley?

Agree Miller. Its a conundrum.
Ability wise people might say its not so hard but the overall package is probably impossible.
Hes s one off for us, like you say a different captain to Gerrard but a fabulous one at that.
I like Rice, very good and would be even better under someone like Klopp and playing alongside top class players. Looked nailed on for Chelsea but that's kind of gone quiet now.

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.
It’s a good question Sky. He also played in both losses to Atletico.
Can’t begrudge him though. He has been a great example to the entire squad. The way he managed to change up a good few levels is admirable - think a few others followed suit. Just think it has taken a toll on him. It has on the whole squad to be fair.
Just because we lost or drew some games with him in the team it doesn’t detract from the fact that currently we are better with him in the team. Barcelona lose with Messi in the team, Real used to lose with Ronaldo, we used to lose with Souness in the team, or Dalglish or Rush but all were better with those players on the pitch.
I read a journo saying yesterday without Hendo the team was quiet.
So organising is one key skill set he has and I remember Stuart Pearce saying when he was U21 manager how much of a leader he was.
Pearce as crap a manager as he is also stuck up for Jordan when he was getting stick saying he is a quality midfielder.
He might not be a Modric but he has been a superb player for us.
That is also down to Klopp improving his game, and he took a few years too. Apart from 2013-14 when a lot of players had their best seasons for us, he was average under Rodgers, the same in his first season under Dalglish. If Keita would have continued the form that prompted the club to sign him, i think it was he who was under most threat for his place. Luckily for Henderson, Keita has been average or injured for most of his time here. You've all got your views on Henderson, and i've got mine. I won't change your minds, and you won't change mine.
