I dont think we will line up like that. A midfield trio of Gerrard/Hendo/Can wont be played much IMO. That lineup lacks creativity through midfield so expect Can to find the bench and for Coutinho to start in front of Gerrard/Hendo.
Can can play anywhere in midfield and will likely be a replacement for Henderson or Gerrard in games rather than play with them. Or you will see him start cup games with Joe Allen or Lucas if he stays. But in that midfield three, you will always need a creator at the top of the triangle. So Coutinho, Sterling, Suso etc..

Not necessarily. Henderson played that role to great effect at times last season.

Definitely an idea to explore in the future but first we would have make sure Hendo and Can have the discipline and the tactical nous to know when to defend and when to get forward. Gerrard just sits so Henderson doesnt have to worry too much. Without that blanket there, Hendo would have to a lot more tactically adept at sitting back and knowing when to stick and when to twist. He is certainly capable though, as is Can.

No he didnt?? He played further forward than Gerrard but that was only because he was box to box or if the triangle was flipped to have two in front of Gerrard so Hendo would get much more forward. But he never played in front of two midfielders like Gerrard/Lucas or Gerrard/Allen. Very rarely did that happen.

Geez, there is a fair bit of crap being written these last few weeks. Thank goodness for the World Cup or we would've had months of this...
Now for something far more sensible: Can we use Origi to poach Lukaku for $25m?

No thanks on Lukaku or Bony. Good players but just dont fit our style.

So in one sentence you say it never happened then in the very next sentence you concede it did happen.
He was often the most advanced of a midfield three in the first half of last season (usually with Lucas and Gerrard sitting) before Rodgers flipped the triangle to integrete Gerrard in to his new role.
Henderson's best performance of last season was in that advanced role when he constantly ran beyond Spurs high defence in that 5-0 win at WHL.
Henderson there only works in tough away games when he could do a lot of high pitch pressing while maybe getting a goal
At home it doesn't help us break down sides who park it

Thanks for reminding me of that game, gotta rewatch. Damn last season was good.

Yeah, the fact that he's left the tour to go back to the UK indicates that he and his agent are trying to arrange a move somewhere.
Thought he left because of his injury, but even last season Rodgers loaned him out when we already had a s**t bench, can't be rating him too highly. Should be encouraging him to move on for the 14 mil
Plus I don't think he'll ever be good enough for the Liverpool Football club

I'm pretty sure Rodgers said he was fine after the game didn't he?
Bruising wasn't it? It is a bit strange to leave a tour due to bruising
I would be surprised if he stays here by the end of the window, think the club would be telling him that he is surplus to requirements anyway
This has a bit of last season's summer window feel to it, we needed a CB, desperately, after Carra retired. We only had Kolo Toure and there were worrying talks that we might actually go in thinking he'd do fine as a starting CB. Then we signed Sakho on Aug 30th
This strikers thing could drag. If we sell Borini and agger for around 25 mil, then we should definitely be bringing in two attacking players

Henderson plays his best football next to Gerrard as a box to box. You wont be seeing him playing that attacking role in a midfield three. He will be behind a Coutinho, Suso, Sterling.

Soooo I'd be surprised if we don't get Moreno now, it would be epic fail by the club, unless we have some other target in mind
Get a striker, get Moreno and Manquillo in, then buy a cheap wide player, Konoplyanka still has a clause and still hasn't been picked up, right

Stuzza and Lambo start up top, Coutinho Allen Henderson Gerrard in the middle, light back four and Brad Jones..
Jones, Kelly, Toure, Coates, Enrique, Gerrard, Henderson, Allen, Coutinho, Lambert, Sturridge

Honestly think the Bertrand to Southampton news is the best I've heard all week. It's not my money so I hope the club stump up the few extra mil for Moreno. May be setting a dangerous precedent but if he's our number one choice then it's bearable.
