Personally, I'd have Luongo as the constant as much as possible in the midfield with rotation of Cousins, Borysuik and Henry every so often.

Henry was very good yesterday.
Personally, I think if you sit him deep in the midfield and just ask him to do the ugly work and keep things simple, he can be very effective. Where I think he struggles is when he's asked to get forward or to play too much football. He's certainly not one for spraying balls about the park.
Not sure I agree that he cannot be dropped. Hopefully when we have Borysiuk and Cousins fully fit it will be those 2 plus Luongo (who I thought was excellent yesterday) as our first choice in central midfield with a couple of wingers and the Polt up top.Comment

Can't drop Chery though so unless we play one of borysik, cousins or Luongo out wide they can't all start. We've got away from this round pegs in square holes it seems, which is great, so one would have to start sub.Comment

I think with this pressing game, starting vs being on the bench wont matter as much. Have to replace one of them i think most games as simply tough to keep up otherwise. One will.get about 55 mins and one plays rest of game.Comment

Thought Henry was superb...rarely gave the ball away and almost always plays the sensible pass.Comment

Jimmy has talked about the low average age of the side and the need for a few old heads to settle things down when they're not going to plan. He specifically mentioned Henry in relation to this. If he can play as well as he did on Sunday, he'll be in the side on merit.Comment
