"could hold"??

He cost us 20 million quid, he SHOULD be a vital cog, not a shadow of a player who might be good.

You talk like he was a free transfer, not a poor piece of business

How can you express an opinion you believe to be validated on (using your words ) "one so young " formulated over the course of one season ?
Its a contradiction in terms ,you either have the least amount of patience on this forum or you truly believe your opinion based on a season
were Jordan has regularly been utilised in an unfamiliar role and largely in a team seriously under performing will be vindicated next season .

You're missing the point.

If you re-read my post you will see i don't doubt he'll improve; however, for the money we spent, I feel Hendeson should a lot, lot better. Instead, he looks like a guy who's just stepped off the youth team tour bus.

He's representative of Kenny's failings in the transfer market: spending big money on players who either arn't ready or good enough for LFC.

Try not to think about how much he cost and discuss whether he has been a nd will be a good player based on his performances so far
Just as an experiment...

Firstly ,I did read your post ,but I still believe any young player would be overawed at the prospect of playing in front of the Kop . I mean its not like
playing at Castle Grey Skull a stadium largely made up of Koreans and Bangledesh's most rich list , with a handful of indifferent corporate blurts ,this
is Anfield where 100% commitment is the least the supporters expect .

Even the most experienced of players have froze in front of the Kop ,Crouch and Keane are two obvious examples ,and if young Jordan wanted a prime
example concerning application he needs look no further than imo the best defensive midfielder plying his trade on these shores .....Lucas Leiva .

I had every faith in Lucas right from the get go ,that the quality was indeed there, he just needed the patience of the fans and a stage to hone his skills
I believe Henderson will succeed in much the same respect if given much needed valuable time in our midfield .

Sorry but I am not aware of anyone backing Lucas from day 1.

Coughs "bullsh!t".

Are you genuinely, hand on heart, saying you never had any doubts about Lucas making it, I find that impossible to believe.

In any case I think Henderson will be a good player for us, just a shame we have a manager who insists on playing him right wing when he should be playing centre midfield instead of Spearing.

If you genuinely find one derogatory comment I have made pertaining to Lucas then please feel free to resurrect it ... I have never been one to gloat
but ,in the case of Lucas I always believed in his potential to become  one of the best DM's .

Although if I'm to be perfectly honest so did Leon ,Igor ,Joe Terp ,and Andy G to name a few .

[7_Kewell]

Doreen the tea lady should be playing ahead of Spearing, he's cr@p

[Basil]

I agree with you Red Beergoggles, I always thought Lucas was a good player even when a lot on here were slating him. I can't believe the crticsm Henderson gets either, I reckon he's going to become a top player for us.

[Basil]

I agree with you as well 7_Kewell, about Doreen the tea lady !

that's right. and anything i don't know about football is not worth knowing.

I too was among those who supported Lucas from the early days.  I never thought he was as ***** as alot on here were always bleating on about.  That said, I also don't think he's quite as good now as alot of people say he is.  Granted he's a huge part of our team and he has been sorely missed.  Here's the way I see it.

Extreme Viewpoints: He's gone from not worthy of changing the lightbulbs in the dressing room to the best defensive midfielder in the Premiership.

My Viewpoint: He's gone from a decent emerging player who had his growing pains (Spurs in 2009-2010), to a very nice player who does a great job in his role in the team.

I see alot of the same sort of posts regarding Henderson, and to be honest, I think alot are extremely unfair.  I think he's a decent emerging player.  I believe he will end up doing a great job in his role for Liverpool.

[Thommo's perm]

I have been impatient with Henderson and have lost my temper many times over the season. My main concern is his immaturity and lack of confidence. Im sure theres a decent, capable if not talented player in there somewhere. My hope is he grows some pubes and his balls drop over the summer

[red till i die!!]

based on this season and his performances we have been ripped off.
maybe in a couple of years he might produce but he seriously has a lot of growing up to do and until he does it should be in the reserves.
he would be the worst player of the year only for downing was slightly better at being sh!T than him.
