Karl Henry..

[qpr]

Henry is brilliant, nothing more to say

[A Man Without A Clue]

Would disagree there, he tends to retain the ball with his passing. As I recall he had the best pass success rate of our players last year even though they were mostly sideways and backwards but at least he keeps it safe and smart. Got a good shot on him as well.

Slows it all down IMO. Karlos Henry in the side is not conducive to free flowing football. And for that reason I'm out.

PS I'd keep Doughty in today.

Thing is, if you watch barcelona play with busquets in the side. He's merely there to win the ball and spray it to more creative players. He's a solid passer don't get me wrong and a much better player than Karl is (Much much better) but their roles in the team are to win the ball back by pressing and release it immediately to the players who can do damage (Luongo/Iniesta, Faurlin/Xavi)

How can you slam Henrys passing then put Doughty forward. His passing midweek was shocking (some rated him highly I must have been watching another game) kid gets involved and about the pitch but passing is not his strength. If he starts in the middle today we lose

Tried way too many 'hollywood' passes (much like barton) and seemed more interested in impressing than succeeding.

Tend to agree and I'm not against that as he's being brave and trying to make a name for himself but his passing was terrible. Had he done it easy he would have had a very decent game

Stop.... Jus stop riiiiiight there Nasser

I just really enjoy any thing disco gets involved in its like a window view into bedlam !! the real question is barton \ henry ? I know the decision has been made but sim players ?

[Shania]

Today, against Cardiff is a match he should play in. We can do With a cool head today. We lost the first match...

[Fordy]

Don't like Henry myself, I'd prefer everyone in the team can pass a ball to a team mate. Not all players that break up play are shite at football. We must find one.

Haha taken totally out of context like that, I look a bit of a plonker but to be honest, all the best teams have a ball winner and distributor. Look at any 433 and you will always see an anchor who wins the ball and releases. Chelsea have matic, Utd have Carrick (when they played 433), Arsenal went with Flamini for a while, Martin O'neil's Villa side had Gareth Barry, even looking higher than those, Bayern have Alonso and Barca have Busquets as I said. 433 is a very difficult formation to perfect but it relies on having 3 midfielders capable of different things: Tackling, passing and Dribbling. From what I have seen of all key midfielders, Luongo can do the passing or dribbling, Faurlin can do the passing, Henry is a pure ball winner (and a good one for this division), Doughty, Chery and Fer (should they play in the midfield 3) are dribblers and when Sandro gets back, he will be the best ball winner this league will have seen in years.

The 433 we should be playing if we want attractive football has to have a player like Henry in order to succeed. It is a pure necessity to have someone cool, calm and simple to win the ball and release it.

I like him and think he is well underrated.

Not someone who is going beat three players and set world alight but more often then not he does the simple and basic things and is a 7\10 week in week out

I have to agree with West, he just does the job and get's on with it. If we need to defend then he's a player I'd want in the team.

[Brightsparx]

Like him. Can't be playing see him earlier in Westfield Resturant having a T-bone steak and chips 🙈
