Post match: Chelsea v Liverpool (EPL 4/4/23 8pm)

I am a little lost on the take on the little disagreement between Hendo and Alli, this happens all the time in footy, there was an error in communication between Joel and Alli that could have led to a goal. Hendo as the captain stepped in to sort it.

If Alli, didn’t call, he gets a word and if Alli called and Joel ingored it is him who gets it in the neck.

Football isn’t always a box of fluffys, players need to be held accountable on the pitch and that is the captains job mostly.

How many times have you seen Klopp berate our players from the sideline???

In my opinion too much is being made of this. Hendo did something needless. But it was a heat of the moment thing. I don’t think anyone is losing respect for anyone, I think they’re all very frustrated with how the season has panned out.

100%.
My view is that of all players, Allison didn’t deserve a public berating.
Hendo is at fault there, a captain’s role is about discerning when there is need to shout and when to whisper.
Hendo is most likely frustrated at his own form. And this is a consequence of that.

Could have been something as simple as Alisson speaking in Portuguese and Hendo getting frustrated he couldn’t understand a word that was being said… So getting a bit more frustrated telling Alisson to speak English.
We don’t know what banter has gone on over the seasons, neither do we know if this is a common occurrence in training… Whatever the reasons, not likely to have any long term impact and if it was just a heat of the moment thing, well, nothing unusual in this

Just as a postscript to this otherwise forgettable match: I am staying at my elderly disabled Mum’s two up two down in Sheffield at the moment, looking after her between visits from the carers. I was upstairs watching that pile of crap when the carers arrived. As my Mum is immobile I rushed to let them in, slipped and fell down the steep and rickety stairs, wrenching my arm and tearing a muscle in my right shoulder. I’ve been in agony ever since.

All for that load of rubbish.

Expressions of sympathy, flowers etc, gratefully received.

It’s a house of pain :cry:

Thanks Maria :slightly_smiling_face:

My Mum is surprisingly cheerful considering she can’t walk, has continence issues, is going deaf, has tremours and anxiety attacks.
As long as she gets to watch The Repair Shop and do Wordle, she keeps on smiling.
Not like me. I’m whingeing and moaning about a temporary injury and combing the internet looking for sympathy :roll_eyes:

My mum was bed bound the last year of her life, but she had bionic ears, she could hear me muttering in the room next door.

There are 2 excellent online website for items for the elderly and disable people. I can message them to you. It maybe useful. Especially shampooo caps, when struggling to have the hair washed and bath in bedwipes which are microwaveable. They were a life saver.

Sorry digress everyonr

That depends on how you saw the events. If, for example, @Mascot’s interpretation is much closer to what happened, then it’s not surprising that he stepped in to make sure that the message was being communicated properly.

Take it easy @Bekloppt. Get to your Dr and get it sorted. I’ve torn the Supraspinatus tendon in both shoulders and know how painful it can be. It can be fixed.

Get well soon and best wishes to your Mum. :+1::nerd_face:

Thanks for the kind wishes and made up long words Commie.
I feel better already!

how many interceptions does henderson have per game
how many assists does henderson have per game
how many dribbles does henderson have per game
how many forward passes does henderson have per game
how many goals does he score per season
when you answer these questions you would understand why he is not effective and most of the time he is just Shit

What about challenges won?

15 interceptions in 25 games
1 assist in 25 games
0 goals in 25 games
1106 passes with a 84.2% accuracy with 176 passes made into the final third.

When you have such abysmal individual stats like those its pointless obtaining it per game.

Wow, kudos to your effort in digging that out!

If we were to use per game to count, so it takes about 0.6 interceptions per game. This also means Hendo only makes 1 interception per 2 game…That is pretty horrifying to hear for someone who is supposed to play Box to Box midfielder.

Granted Hendo has poor defensive positioning, how about challenges made and challenges won? Blocks?

Surprisingly look a lot better than what the naked eye tells us.

30 ground tackles attempted and 20 successfully made in 25 games.

Engaged in 14 aerial duels, won 8 and lost 6 in 25 games.

120 recoveries made which I assume basically
means tracking back or getting back into shape?

Blocked 4 attempts at our goal and made 15 clearances (9 being headed)

Created chances: 3

Actually maybe not, he’s just been terrible all season.
