i never rate henderson at all.. but actually it's a fair game... sunderland have more shot attempted than us.. so we might lucky not to get lost 2-1 cz of gyan noob header...
next game : drop henderson and in aquaman... 4-3-3 formation...
we dont need gerrard replacement as we still have aquaman on same par with gerrard with 3years younger
I am not backing up Henderson but yesterday game he didnt get to play in his favourite place that is CM or CAM , he looks much better playing there when against Valencia and yesterday he just become shadow of Downing where Downing play superbly on both wings.(Although I know he just contribute little but you can count how many long shoot made by lucas and Charlie yesterday instead passing to Henderson)

report card for new players
Henderson , failed
Adam , pass
Downing, pass
Enrique, pass
KD should hav start Kelly instead of Flanagan and he also hav to buy a replacement for Agger, he is too slow
It just a test and we only know the final report card next May 2012. If Agger is slow , I dont know what to say with Carra.

Im slightly concern for top 4 place in EPL this season....after what we showed in the pre-season and last match despite our huge amount of transfer fees this season.....
The postive things are we played really well on 1st half and on 2nd half , Sunderland midfield just pawned Lucas and Charlie(where in my opinion both of them dont know either to help in defense or attack , this is first time they play together in a competitive match)

I have no idea why we play Herderson instead of Kuyt... Of Flanno and Kelly, Kenny picked Flanno and it backfired. Kelly is always the more reliable one although Flanno get more games last season.
Overall, I think there are still rooms for improvement. Playing 4 new kids with one of them only arrived yesterday is somehow gambling. The result is fair enough although we could have nicked away 2 more points. Quite disappointed with Carrol. Still haven't see the Carrol that run around for newcastle, the energy he contributed on the pitch for Newcastle seems gone with the 35m price tag.
As for Suarez, speechless on the penalty. Would prefer Mr Reliable Kuyt to take it though...but he was surprisingly dropped to bench.Anyway, looking forward to next game v arsenal. They will then probably without Fab, Nasri and Gervinho serving ban. So, we must take all the advantages given to us and nick the 3 points hopefully!
I think Carroll is following what the coach tell him.When in Newcastle, most of the time they are being attacked so I can see why he always drop down to help the defense.But in Liverpool , I think he should stay at the top of attack (targetman) where Downing , Enrique , Charlie , Lucas , Kuyt cross can reach him.

i think henderson is a lousy buy. he plays naturally in the middle but we are overcrowded in that department.
still mind-boggling that henderson cost more than what man u payed for cristiano ronaldo
People not complaining how much MU pay for M.Carrick.Henderson is still young and IMO he have more potential than M.Carrick.
