Looking at the last few games,Hendo might have been the difference.
The energy in midfield looked missing with him out
yes. another thing i want the note for hendo this season is that he brings more competitiveness in the squad. as in he keeps the other players on their toes, i have seen him shouting at lucas, skrtel and flanno in several matches this season, telling them what to do, calming players down etc. in other words, some leadership that is very lacking in this team. mentally hes a strong lad. we missed him badly. lucas hasnt been the same ever since he got injured. he seemed to lost some intensity that he had from the last 2 seasons. im not sure why and wonder is it because he lost his place in the starting 11.The energy in midfield looked missing with him out
we should never point at players and blame them. everyone makes poor decisions and mistakes. we can say gerrard lost it against chelsea. but what about the 2 points lost to westbrom because of kolo's mistake ? we have to give credit to palace though. a team who is doing so very well under pulis. they are already safe from relegation, nothing to play for really. but in their last home game, 3-0 down, they still kept going, fans giving them spirit and intensity.
