Jordan Henderson causing a blockage at Liverpool

Liverpool Jordan Henderson has actually greatly improved since he first moved to Anfield, and under Brendan Rodgers he’s started to look something akin to the player who Kenny Dalglish thought he was buying. No, he’ll never be a £15m player in the true sense, but he’s not the whipping-boy he was a year ago. I watched Liverpo […]

Goal analysis: Liverpool’s Jordan Henderson (vs Aston Villa)

Beyond Philippe Coutinho’s perfectly weighted pass, there’s not much which needs analysing about this goal – but it’s still worth highlighting quite how hard Jordan Henderson works to score. Here’s Henderson’s starting position at the beginning of the move – he’s the Liverpool player third from […]

Joe Allen, his Liverpool form, and his future at the club

The Premier League Owl Joe Allen has been speaking to the media about his form, and has given a fairly frank assessment of his performances since his £15m to Liverpool. “My form hasn’t been great. I’m a perfectionist and maybe that’s my problem. Sometimes I get frustrated and disappointed when things aren’t pe […]

Jordan Henderson approaches career crossroads at Liverpool

The Premier League Owl If you gave Jordan Henderson the opportunity to go back to the Summer of 2011, and present him with the opportunity to join Liverpool over again, it would be interesting to see if he’d take it. Outside of Manchester City and Chelsea, to whom normal context can’t be applied, Henderson is probably the best e […]

Thoughts on Brendan Rodgers clearing out Liverpool’s closets

The Premier League Owl By selling Charlie Adam, loaning Andy Carroll, and attempting to offload Jordan Henderson Fulham this morning, Brendan Rodgers is making it abundantly clear what he thought of Kenny Dalglish’s transfer policy. There seems to be some concern over the losses Liverpool are incurring with these players, but really, w […]

Taking the wrecking ball to Liverpool’s squad

When ex-players turn their guns on you, it’s probably time to have a bit of a rethink. Rumours swirl about whether Kenny Dalglish will keep his job, or whether John Henry is sitting in the monster seats at Fenway Park scouring old issues of World Soccer for a potential replacement.

What we’ll learn today: Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Tottenham

…How capable of contending Chelsea are… Andre Villas-Boas has had an unspectacular start. A tentative draw at the Britannia Stadium was followed up by unconvincing home victories against West Brom and Norwich.

England U21s: The good & bad against Ukraine

Hackneyed cliché though it may be, the second half of that was that an awful lot better than the first. This was a Ukrainian team that was comfortably held at arm’s length by the Czech Republic on Sunday, and yet in the first forty-five minutes England made them looking menacing. The bad first… I’m not even sure how to p […]

Liverpool and Manchester United getting different degrees of value

‘How much?’ I’m going to guess that to be the most overused expression in the football world today. Two big deals, two big clubs, and two very hefty fees – but only one of them really represents anything like value for money. Jordan Henderson’s £20m transfer to Liverpool from Sunderland – or £13m plus Davi […]

Early Morning Notes: Henderson to Liverpool, Jones interests Man United, Matt Mills, and Newcastle

Liverpool and Sunderland have agreed a fee – supposedly £20m – for Jordan Henderson. Niall Quinn and Steve Bruce must have woken up laughing this morning, he’s worth at best half of that. Manchester United are reported to have entered, and are now leading, the chase for Blackburn man-child Phil Jones. It’s in the M […]
