It is how you rate the level of ability and skill that is important COMPARED WITH OTHER TOP PLAYERS. Not shouting just highlighting. Henderson is a very loyal and determined professional. He plays a very steady but thoroughly non creative style of football 90% of the time. Yesterday on Talk Sport Dean Saunders was discussing the affect of top players on team and the critical difference that they can make when they are sold. Suarez is a classic example. Henderson, Sturridge and several others upped their game to a much higher lever when Luis was in the team. Unfortunately if Henderson is injured or on the bench nobody is really overly concerned. The same could never be said for Suarez, Alonso and Gerrard. Sorry mate he is just slightly better than average and certainly not the quality that is require to captain Liverpool. Milner does a better job as captain (sorry RBG) when Henderson isn't playing.

Top Shelf Grujic

Hertha Berlin manager Pal Dardai says Marko Grujic is a ‘top-shelf’ footballer.

Grujic joined the German outfit on loan in the summer but suffered an ankle injury earlier in the season. He made his return in Sunday’s 3-1 win at Nurnberg and impressed his temporary boss.

“This is the first time in my life when I didn’t have to settle with the middle shelf of the supermarket, instead I was able reach the top shelf,” Dardai told Hungarian outlet Index.

“This is the first time I have a player like him, unfortunately only on loan from Liverpool.

“Before the Bundesliga game we had an exhibition match between Hertha ‘A’ and ‘B’ teams. Grujic was on the ‘B’ team, and they won 1-0.

“But it doesn’t matter what I think of him, the numbers talk for themselves.

“When he started and played a lot we had a 2.4 point average. He has the whole team on his shoulders.

“With this point average we would contend in the Champions League. Top three teams in the Bundesliga have a point average like this.

“If he doesn’t do anything, he still makes all the others calm with his presence. You know, he provides stability.

“Without him, we have a 0.7 point average. We would be relegated with this kind of performance.

“When he did not play, it affected all the others. We missed him in the middle of the park. We can have a good spring if he’s healthy.”
