like shelvey for me probaly wont make it, but shows more promise than henderson

just the way he moves, his technique, he tries things

hendo is average in all departments, very worrying.

Of course many of the experts on here consider players such as Lucas and Kuyt to be mediocre and not worthy of a start yet a string of managers both domestic and international see it differently.Might be something in this coaching lark.....

I see what it is now. No one can have a dig at Lucas any more so the haters out there have found a new scapegoat in Henderson

Oh, and Lucas and Kuyt has many trophies in their looker to show for it...

And having a player like Kuyt can be useful in many games.
But not too many of them...

We still have Poulsen. I blame him. It would be 9-0 if he was playing.

Credit to Exeter, they are a good team and have put in a decent performance. If we didnt play as many regulars as we did, we could easily have struggled in this match.

3-1 final, KK trying to build some team chemistry. Needed given all the new faces.

Pretty pleased with the performance (except Skirtels fuk up). Decent result. Pity about some of the posters remarks on here though

Hey, we won! We can't moan about losing. Gotta moan about something!

Was a good result. All the jabbing, biting, poking, moaning...what's it for? This is a great season so far! And to say we're not really on fire yet is good news!

MoM for me...Suarez of course.

No need to jump to judgment on Hendo. He has to find his place on the pitch and turn it down a notch ,he is trying too much and it is clear he isn't focused.

The game itself ,no real heroes overall comfertable win ,pressing them high proved affective enough. Hendo and Adam were poor ,Maxi and Suarez were the better ones.

How did Meireles injured himself god knows.

Glad to see Carroll on the scoresheet. Hopefully he can build on that.

No one was poor if anyone says someone was poor this game they need their heads examined. We're up 3-0 and pretty much everyone played a part in it, except maybe Adam but he hasn't done much wrong either.

What do you want a fcking medal for being blind about the fact that Henderson had a poor game ?

Quit being deluded, we'll never improve if we're constantly content with mediocrity..

Enlighten me as to how he had a bad game? He setup a goal, yeah he could have done better on a few occassions but the same can be said about every single player at one point or another. Yeah he wasn't brilliant or amazing but was Adam? Did Adam do ANYTHING all game long that is worth mentioning? Why is no one on his back?

If you cant see it then I dont think me answering your question will serve any purpose . For what it's worth, Adam in his new role is also average at best imo..

But by all means do carry on with your clueless tripe, fck common sense

Common sense says Henderson has just turned 21, is a timid lad from the looks of it, and uncertain of himself yet he managed to setup a goal and almost got himself a penalty with a fantastic turn. If that is poor than what exactly are our expectations here? Mediocrity is Joe Cole, Paul Konchesky and Brad Jones. He will become a much better player but will never escape the criticism he's getting right now until he regularly starts in a title winning side, world cup winning side, or scores 5 goals in a season. Who knows, maybe he'll end up taking care of 2/3 of those this year.

No, but really.. I'll leave it at that and agree to disagree. He's very young but has shown signs of being a good all around player. He may never be particularly special at anything, but neither is Lucas and he's been more than good enough for us. To me it looks like he's well aware of his price tag and the expectations that have come with it and it has been effecting him to some extent. He seems to take doing the wrong thing very hard right now. His head hangs, pretty pathetically I might add, when his teammates give him stick about something and Kenny insisting to give him games right now is very crucial in his development. Kenny surely notices these small things and is doing his best to try to keep him working hard and believing in himself. The penalty on another day could have been given, he obviously dived but he had the defender beat and there was minimal contact. I wonder if people would be saying the same things if he were to have won the pen.

Exactly. Henderson is a young lad who has just moved from his boyhood club to a new team and new area. He needs time to adapt.

I give up arguing with these imbeciles.
