Posted May 31, 2012 (edited) Brendan Rodgers? Eh, pass. Get rid of Kenny Dalglish to bring in a manager who's had one season in the PL? No thanks! Where's the experience? I think this will end badly. Benitez would have been alot better. Been there, done that. Knows the players, knows the ropes. Alot safer pair of hands. Well I've a feeling there'll be a vacancy next summer and he'll get the job then, if not sooner. I could be wrong. Edited May 31, 2012 by Wii Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No link yet, but they've just reported it on SSN. link; http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/18265377 Jordan fucking Henderson....there must be better options out there. I just don't think he is good enough yet. I don't think we can afford to have a player in the squad just for the experience. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 31, 2012 People are moaning, yet I haven't seen someone come up with one player who is better in his position. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 31, 2012 There is just no point taking him really. Who is he going to play ahead of? I can't forsee him starting or any situations where we would need him to come off the bench to change the game. He probably won't even make the bench, well he shouldn't make the bench. Might aswell have took another striker. Free holiday for the lad and some good experience being with the team at tournament I guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 31, 2012 (edited) I actually hope Henderson gets a chance at Euro 2012 at some point and makes everyone eat their words.. and also that Brendan Rodgers plays him centrally for Liverpool, with Lucas, where he'll probably be better suited than being shoved out on the right and allow the rest of the midfield to join the attack Edited May 31, 2012 by nekunando Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 1, 2012 People are moaning, yet I haven't seen someone come up with one player who is better in his position. That's a sad state of affairs if one of England's best midfielders is a youth player who a pretty poor start to his Liverpool career. I would personally take Carrick over him although I know Carrick doesn't want to be a bit-part player. Paul Scholes? (retired from International) Jack Wilshere (injured) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 1, 2012 Exactly. So why are people bashing Henderson? He's never going to say no. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 1, 2012 Exactly. So why are people bashing Henderson? He's never going to say no. People should be bashing Carrick for not wanting to play. It should be an honour to even be called into the squad regardless of whether you play or not. I think people are bashing Henderson because he's nowhere near good enough to be in the England squad but because of injuries and players not wanting to play they have no other choice. Personally, I'm delighted that you have Henderson and Lennon in the squad. That's a dangerous midfield you have right there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 1, 2012 (edited) Righty it is June 1st and a week till Euro 2012 kicks off. I am finally opening the Euro 2012 board I have set up like we've had in previous Euro and World Cup tournaments You'll find it here http://www.n-europeforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=74 I've just copied over the recent England team talk into the England Team thread in that board and I also copied the Racism in Poland/Ukraine football into it's own theard. Please take time to read the boards "Welcome thread" too. As with previous tournaments only mods/admins will be able to create new threads to avoid duplicates during the tournament please use the welcome thread to suggest new thread you feel should be created. This thread will remain open for club transfer discussion and non-Euro football talk. But I suspect we'll start a new Season 2012/2013 thread after Euro 2012 once next seasons fixtures are announced Edited June 1, 2012 by Mokong Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 1, 2012 Well, it's done and dusted now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 1, 2012 I watched the press conference this morning and was very impressed by the way Brendan Rodgers spoke and I'm looking forward to seeing what happens over the next few months It also took me a little by surprise on LFC.tv that they spoke to Arthur McClean over the phone, a man I know from my days of playing at Star United U14 and U16, where Brendan Rodgers used to play.. I thought that was pretty cool Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 1, 2012 It's a covering thought that Liverpool players make up more of the England squad than just about any other team. Especially when you consider Johnson aside, the rest were well below average. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 1, 2012 Yes. Because Gerrard is below average. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 1, 2012 @Wii Must be very disappointed with this appointment, hope he'll give him a chance though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 1, 2012 Yes. Because Gerrard is below average. Read the post again, i was referring to their season not their potential or past ability. If you think Gerrard gad a good season, you're seriously deluded. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 1, 2012 He had an average season. Nowhere near his best, ofcourse. He's still miles better than any other English midfielder. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 1, 2012 So it is official @Wii is a liverpool supporter. I should have known. Also, with Henderson's addition to the squad, Liverpool are now the most represented premier league team in the England squad. We.Are.Fucked. How can a team that has had such a poor season be consisting the most of teh England squad?! I said it before, as an ex-Liverpool manager it does look a bit biased!

Absolutely although he's never been able to replicate his club form for country. That's not exclusive to Gerrard, seems to be a lot of players who can't do it for England like they do for their club.

Posted June 1, 2012 Micah Richards is better than Johnson... But you're right, it does say something about the quality of the squad if Henderson has been called up. Truly a dire state. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
