Hes 32, cant imagine hes getting picked at that age when you consider hes not been in squads in the past.

csinclair Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Liam Henderson putting in a good performance in a win over Inter. Still can't believe he's not made a squad when the likes of Jack and McLean get callups Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massive myth on here that he is actually any good. 30 odd Serie A games in three years doesn't make you a superstar, I think journeyman is the correct term. McLean does a job that few of our midfield players can do, He sits in, holds onto the ball until the pass is available, he calms the game down which is why he comes on towards the end of games for us. At 31 he won't be around much longer mind you, if at all.   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention McLean also is playing second tier football. Nobody is saying Henderson is a superstar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Henderson is way below what we have had available over recent years,but isn't far of being one of our highest performing players if you put it like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's be honest though, who else do we have that is good enough to start in a back four. Tierney is as good a shout as any. McKenna isn't a definate starter for Forest, rumours that Cooper has declared himself unavailable. Hanley, Hendry and Porteous are all right sided players with Porteous appearing to have evolved into a holding midfield player anyway Probably as well playing Mctominay and Tierney as central defenders.

thesaint Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 That's Tierney being subbed.Really love Tierney but he looks a shadow of the player he was at the moment.Maybe because he isn't getting a run of starts in the Arsenal team.This playing one game and then maybe not starting for another four or five isn't doing him any favours.

DAVIDB46 Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 (edited) I would still fear tierney rarely playing could become a problem for us. Whilst he was okay tonight you can see that some of the play didn’t move as quickly normal with him it was slightly slower , not sure if was lack of game time tonight . Pace moving a bit faster as arsenal bring on their bigger guns Edited January 27, 2023 by DAVIDB46 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
