Afternoon eds. What's the situation with Henderson? As in long term . I know he's captain at the moment etc but he's been left out at times in some important games, That would suggest to me klopp know his limitations persay and for me your captain is one of the most important players in your team and would be playing nearly every game especially the big important games. do you seen him being moved on over the next 12/ 18mths now the squad is starting to get some depth to it. and who would be his predecessor?

{Ed002's Note - There is no situation that I am aware of with Henderson. Henderson’s predecessor is Gerrard - I don’t see that changing.}

Should of said successor. But I'm guessing you knew what was meant by it. And you said you wasn't aware of a situation. is the fact he isn't first name on team sheet in all games one. you look at other captains from over time and they wasn't left out unless it was pointless game or carrying a knock or coming to the end of the careers (gerrard Terry etc ) . In big games Henderson has been left out it's been for the teams best interest as to why he has so there an issue with klopp trusting him and his ability in those games. I'm sorry but if klopp can't trust or doesn't think he's right for a big game then he shouldn't be captain of LFC. That's where I see there being an situation.

{Ed002's Note - You are just creating these little weird scenarios in your head and creating a “situation.}

Jimmy, there is no situation here. BTW, you are aware that it was BR who made Hendo capt. and Klopp has shown no reason why it should change so these scenarios your are painting are quite baffling.

Firstly, Hendo has played in EVERY big game this season vs the top 6 rivals and in the derby. Also, Hendo is well respected and trusted by the manager and his team mates and the staf per Ed01 so again, your suppositions are rather baffling.

I propose you just support the capt. and hope he finds form again as the injuries have ravaged him hence, he plays thru pain to help us win. Why don't you salute him for that alone as it seems you are on some kind of war path with him?

I didn't see Jimmy on a war path with Henderson, just that he didn't think hendo was playing in big games. I don't think he praised or criticised him at all there, just asked a question based on observations (whether right or wrong) .

{Ed001's Note - he wasn't left out of big games, despite what the pundits on TV keep trying to suggest, the rotation is not done with 3 or 4 games ahead in mind. It is all about who is fresh and fit right there and then for the next game, not about the one after.}

Yeah it wasn't an attack on Henderson I'll support him as long as he's got a shirt on. I do recall him being left out of 2 European. I could be wrong . maybe I'm just a bit old fashioned and think you captain should play unless injured or suspended. i was just pointing out he's been left out in games we have needed to win etc (I know we need to win them all, but you get my point) gerrard was never left out of games for example (until towards the end )

He's been a decent player for us since Kenny signed him but he was never captain material and his showing (captain wise) since he took the armband has backed up my assertion. No vocal enough, doesn't organise, doesn't dish out bollockings when on many occasions they've been required, doesn't put an arm around a player when required because as a captain both are needed at times. Not a strong enough character and definitely not a leader of men.
