Is better than Ming and Dirk
[/quote]
Ming was unbelievably shit when moved out wide. He's going to have to improve anyways cause he's young, but most likely he is just out of form due to the big money move. He'll end up being much better than Dirk in the wide role, he's got a fantastic cross on him. His first half today showed glimpses.

Re: Jordan Benderson
In Henderson's defence, he's no right winger. Centre midfielder by trade and that's surely his long-term position.
He's not shit by any means, he has valuable attributes but i just don't think he does enough to warrant a starting place as things stand.

Re: Jordan Benderson
I can't for the life of me work out why they haven't been drilling it into him to be more direct , to grow a pair of balls and stop taking the easy option of stopping , knocking it inside or back to the fullback . I mean you can say it's a lack confidence but surely if he's ordered to be more direct then he'll have to be .
He's a neat and tidy footballer but so far he's looked out of his depth and doesn't offer nearly enough .

Re: Jordan Benderson
Ryan - I need you to give me faith in Henderson. Most of the forum has turned on him and I have faith in him only b/c of what you wrote when we first signed him ... Can you please strengthen the believers before we all go to the Krump side?

I think Henderson will work out all right eventually.

I agree but not as a right winger and not for about 12 months, he is a centre mid and right now I would have both Spearing and Shelvey ahead of him, he looks totally intimidated by playing for us, i think he needs a spell out of the spot light to get his head right. Gerrard coming back in should mean we are changing our formation and Henderson wont fit into it

I think we'll get 4 or 5 million for him off Sunderland in a year or two.
[/quote]
Cant say that hes been overly impressive so far but hes not a complete disaster either, he hasnt adapted well since the move and he clearly isnt cut out to playing wide on the right but I would be inclined to think he is one thats going to require a lot of patience before he starts to make an impact, I have very little expectation for him this season as he wont get much of a chance in his favoured position

Re: Jordan Benderson
So we've got this new kid who's keeping Kuyt out the side, Ming out of the squad!
Wow he must be really fast?
No.
Hmm, so he can he dribble well?
No.
So is he a hard and strong worker like Kuyt?
No.
So a small guy who plays it quick and accurate like Xavi, Fabregas etc?
No.
So what exactly is he?
Dunno

Re: Jordan Benderson
Kelly was left hopelessly exposed with Jarvis time and again yesterday. He got no protection from Henderson at all. Which is bizarre really because Henderson was nowhere to be seen when we were going forward either. £50 million on him and Andy Carroll.

The problem is Krump's post can be applied pretty easily to far too many in the squad.
[/quote]
maybe, but we are moving in the right direction and we are still hanging on the coat tails of the manchester teams. gerrard (seems) back so that will automatically make us stronger.
as for henderson, I think the problem is one of confidence rather than ability, he is playing it back and square because he is terrified of making a mistake, he is young and you'd hope he will grow more confident over time.

You me both are agreed that the Henderson money could have been better spent on a key attacker that could have made the difference, no arguments there. And Carroll was a panic buy that was grossly overpriced. I think the rest are good players (Suarez obv, Downing, Enrique and Adam). Adam has his flaws, I didn't think he was nearly as bad as many have made out yesterday, but he does seem to have stamina issues, Danny Murphy was the same, loads of staff have commented that he had problems playing 60+minutes - Not good enough but that doesn't mean he can't play a massive part for a relatively small fee. For all the criticism he still has 2 goals and 2 assists so far. It's hardly shocking.

Re: Jordan Benderson
Personally I'm not that disappointed in Henderson because, tbh I never really thought he'd perform well for us. Adam wasn't my cup of tea either but we got him for a decent fee so I don't mind having him on the bench.
What pisses me off is that we got rid of two classy midfielders because of them.
