World Cup 2018

[Crazyface]

Presumably you have never played or watched football in your life? Scoring a close range header is not dumb luck of it bouncing off your head and in, it's the result of timing a run, losing your marker (despite their obvious repeated attempts to throw him to the ground), and guiding the header perfectly just inside the post where it can't be saved. As a world class striker, Kane's movement, positioning and heading accuracy are up there with the best. That's how he has scored key goals like that throughout his short career so far. You talk as if he just stood there and the ball bounced off his face and in.

You're funny!!!! Made me laugh !!!!!

Great to see Gareth has Englishmen returning to supporting the national team, especially those who have previously had no interest.
Keep it up Gareth :thup:
Hopefully he reads the forum and will listen to the advice.

Don't worry, just in case this site is blocked in Russia I have emailed the FA with all key relevant points.

I refer you to Hacker Khans post 😂

Thank you for proving the point perfectly - I’m guessing you are struggling to come up with someone who can play instead and provide more than he does hence your response :thup:

For those slating Henderson - this is just a small selection of his range of passing just last night - don’t think there is anyone in the squad who can sit in that role and spray the ball around

Henderson gets battered from pillar to post by people who say he only passes backwards but he takes care of the ball to ensure he doesn’t give the ball away and to keep possession and then waits for the forward ball. He is imo one of the most underrated in the squad and also should be skipper but that’s not as important these days. For the ones that want him to go home would be interested to see who you suggest fills the role instead

Henderson really surprised me yesterday both in terms of his passing and his passion - there was one point he was screaming his head off at his team mates and the mic picked it up really well. I still don't think he's a long term solution and the opposition offered little resistance to him. His defensive duties will be much higher against Belgium and later in the tournament and I don't think he's good enough for that level.

Proving your point? All I’m sayin is get your red tinted goggles off for just a minute. It’s totally pointless even trying to name another player, all you’ll do is argue the toss against and spout out a load of garbage stats to prove you were right all along 😂

I think it was one of Henderson's best games. Reminded me a lot of Butch Wilkins. If there wasn't a decisive pass on, Henderson made sure the ball wasn't passed recklessly. For me, he cemented his place quite firmly.

And if a few more composed heads had put those early chances away it could have been a cricket score. Sterling apart, I don't think there was a bad performance from anyone last night. Yes one or two could have done better but even Rooney/Beckham/Gerrard/Lampard made mistakes in every single match they played.

No proving my point that people like you just jump on the bandwagon without actually looking at what he does on the pitch and what he actually does for the team

Lampard a Chelsea man did nothing but rave about him

https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www....ordan-henderson-after-tunisia-performance?amp

Here is Neville on him

Here is another article about how important he is

You can slate my opinion on him as being red tinted but then yours is just because he plays for Liverpool - hence your response to my post but thankfully there is a damn sight more than can see past what colour club shirt he wears - and hopefully that continues

Henderson had a decent game,nothing fantastic.
He gets slated when he’s poor,Just like any other player.
He’s a bang average Prem player,probably why the team that finished 4th last season are looking to upgrade on him.

Shut up Phil your the one who gets the club digs in.
Even before the game you were calling Young[Tom Daley].
Your a hypocite pure and simples

Henderson has never let England down and if he has a problem it’s the constant referring back comparing him to Lampard and Gerrard, Henderson is the best we have in that role and like you say we all wish all 13 could’ve done better.
I agree Sterling was disappointing last night, but I still think he’s the best option in that formation and he still got into those positions.

Oh come on!!! You're saying that Captain Kane was awesome for taping in a ball into an open net from 2 yards out and again nodding one in from the same distance and this is something that only he could have done?

To be honest he actually got away from his marker and got into the space well.
Lots of top scorers do little during games but score goals.
I too thought Henderson had his best England game.

Sterling at his best is head and shoulders above anything we have but he's out of form. His body language in interviews suggests he's clearly hurting from the stick he has had lately. I feel he had his chance in the warm ups, and needs a game from the bench.

Do England give him an easy game, e.g. Panama, then rest him against Belgium and play a more defensive team...? Whatever happens I think he needs a bench game.

 

[pbrown7582]

Did you watch the South Korea v Sweden game? They couldn't do what Kane did

or any of the brazillians the night before

People like me 😂😂😂
If you’d actually read my comment from last night, I said Henderson had a great game.

I’d rather he played him against Panama if he’s only going to play him in one of the two, but I still think Southgate sees him in his strongest 11.

on Henderson he is not Busquets, Kroos Thiago standard but as you say the best we have in that role.
