"Good player was getting way too much stick just like the Lucas situation few years ago. Fair play to him though, England u21 captain and all round solid player!"
"Been really embarassed the way some 'fans' have been treating him.. They'll be quite for a day or so, but his fickle haters will be back the next time he gives the ball away..."
"Well said Hendo, and still congratulations for your brilliant performance! think that your recent progress is under the eyes of anybody and hope you will keep following this route to become an asset of this squad! If I was BR, I wouldn't change nothing to our midfield YNWA Hendo"
"thanx for the goal. but i dont think you're good enough to stay. KD make a biggest mistake by signing you. i also dont believe that there is more to come from you.. 16 mil..? what a waste.. should go on january transfer
"
"Something that Hendo gives us is energy, but you need to do more at LFC than just run around the pitch, he needs to work on his forward passing. There's no doubt his one of the fittest players in our squad, but needs to work on other things, his runs last night was very good, he made the opposition think. Keep it up Hendo! YNWA "
"Hendo always gives 100% and obviously wants to succeed at Liverpool. He needs to stop trying to be "Action Man" and use his brain more. Give the lad a break I have no doubts that he will be a great asset in the future"
"I READ THE EXACT SAME STATEMENT YOU MADE LAST SEASON ON THIS PAGE. JUST COS YOU SCORED A GOAL LAST NIGHT DOESNT PROOF THAT YOU CAN BE PROLIFIC. PROOF ME WRONG HENDO."
"Good job Jordan. Keep it up and prove your critics wrong! All da best mate...BTW Mr Rodgers, the progress is better now. Defence checked. Midfield checked. Attack needs a little bit of fine tuning. Then, I can say all systems go! YNWA!"
"I admit Henderson played really well, but i thought Carragher & Skrtel were just sublime, and my M.O.M goes to Skrtel,never really been a fan but last night he was superb "
"Henderson and Shelvey were superb last night, maybe if you knockers got of their backs it would take the pressure of them, the weakest link by far was Allen, lightweight , a far poorer signing than either Henderson or Shelvey."
"Doe-bah, with a looming uncertainty to any fruitful transfer to come, we need the youngsters to keep us astride with all our compeors. They need all the support and encouragement. Cheers! YNWA "
"Beaten to a comparison with Lucas. Thanks for following Paisley's advice: If you find yourself in the box and don't know what to do, put the ball in the net and we'll discuss options later."
"Yo Arhat: I know you jumped up in glee when the goal was scored. If it were Suarez who scored, then what would you have said? Let's give all the players the support they deserve!"
"Has anyone else noticed how much better Hendo plays when Stevie isn't playing? It's not just confidence but he tends to look for the same areas of the pitch to play in and Stevie naturally takes precedence when he is about."
"ngumi - I support Henderson, but if your logic function, then we couldnt transfer players in/out, because its against your support laws :)). Since we have many average players like Henderson - we are middle table team...Rodgers do great job and make some cuts and I predict - summer 2013, or 2014 Hendo will exit LFC."
"Well done Henderson! I hope all his hard work pays off and the club sticks with him.
I wish though the editors wouldn't keep saying players are 'vowing' things though: a hope isn't a vow."
"Compare Hendo's situation with that of much experienced Torres 50m transfer but yet to impress at Chelsea after 2 seasons. Hendo definitely need more time to adjust himself with the seniors. Believe you get my logic here. YNWA. "
"Buddha, this website should not be about you, so let me make this brief - You are outnumbered by the mass who even after slating Jordan are starting to come around, slowly. No-one denies he's got a way to go but he needs us, so I'm afraid we're not willing to entertain your negativity."
"I do not mean to offend you in the slightest buddha, regardless of yours and my view we are united in the same cause. However, none of us are experts so I do not think we have the right to constantly tear a player's confidence to shreds with our comments."
"well done hendo could have had a hat trick as the keeper made a fine stop and suarez shot wildly when you were unmarked and ready to tap in. as hendo's confidence grows so his performances will improve. hendo is part of a young midfield with allen and shelvey none are the finished article yet but the talent and desire are there for anyone to see well done all the lads getting thgrough, team effort"
"Thank you Hendo & congrats! I am really happy for you. Having said that if Liverpool really want to compete with Barca/ManUre/City etc they need to think beyond the horizon of players like Hendo"
"One month ago you tried to pass instead of shooting, a week ago you shot wide, now you get two on target, one in. Good improvement Hendo, keep going. I think in time you'll make fools of a lot of people on here. But then again, that would hardly be difficult. Self help you might say."
"Every top team seems to have a player who is not known for their flair but are equally vastly important to the team. Fans can't understand why managers pick them but the managers are the experts in football, we pretend to be... Who are we to question Alex Ferguson (a manager who anted to sign Hendo), Kenny Dalglish, Uncle Woy, BR whom have all rated Hendo highly. "
"England u21 capt. Called up to Euro's. The fee was high (reported 16-20m) but who knows Hendo may go soem way to justifying that tag. Michael Carrick, Jon Obi Migel, Gareth Barry all play for top teams yt have had supporters scratching their heads. "
"What do they do? What do they bring to the side? Energy, technical abilities and great ball retention. They may not get the headlines but they are valued highly by their respective managers. "
"Nice one hendo. Keep working hard lad, hope u prove the doubters wrong, especially the ill informed 'fans' who keep saying we wasted 20m on you, (most real supporters know the figure was 16m) but I guess adding a bit on to try to make u look bad is in their nature! Either way what we paid was not your fault"
"Buddha some of us cannot be bothered to go into great detail on justifying why such a player is better. Some of us have partners, kids, some of us have work commitments, some of us have a life. Some of us support the team and don't insult our fellow supporters/players and previous managers alike. "
"Just a shame that there will still be Hendo-haters. I'm confident he will come good for us, and looked assured on the pitch last night. Hopefully the boost he needed. "
"The first half was pretty good and as usual we did not make most of the possesion by scoring a second and a third. This has been our downfall in many matches.Second half was not so good. Giving the ball away too many times and nearly paid the price in the end.CONTD"
"The other issues were that Luis,Suso and Glen were all guilty of not passing the ball when it was a better option and trying to dribble through too many players. Time and again we got to the byline and should have put the ball in and didn't.Hendo was waiting several times just to tap in.CONTD"
"Pepe's distribution has gone mad. Couple of years back he was the most consistant gaolie at finding the right option and to an outfield player. I know we are changing the system but that doesn't mean giving the ball away from the off.CONTD"
"Having had my rant I think overall we deserved to win. As always onwards and upwards. Can't wait for some new players in jan and hope the goal to possesion ratio is equal.YNWA"
"hendo you must work on your attack because you have the feet to score but you must not wait for the ball to come to you. create space others can passes to you and don't give the ball away at 93 mins"
