No i am not talking about Moreno or Mignolet, i think we know where we all stand on those two. I am talking about Lallana and Henderson, both have been lambasted on our board and esp for some bizarre reason other fans seem to have a dig at Lallana, not sure why because technically he one of England's best.
Lallana is a terrific player, so much technical ability, closing down the opposition never stops running and now hes adding goals to his game, it looks like Klopp has Lallana down as one of the first names on the team sheet. He is a massive reason why we can rip teams apart, he is in tune with the other players and he can play either foot and sees the quick pass in the oppositions most dangerous areas, he has come on leaps and bounds this season.
Henderson, what does he do? Doesnt seem to score just run about right? Well, having just about become fit again (match fit) after his injuries and the debilitating heel injury Hendo played a key part in two of the goals Vs Leicester and closed the spaces in mf incredibly well, he does have a Alonso pass in him and he can produce clever through balls. He is i believe an easy target because he doesn't get the goals or score magic fks, but; he is a player that can block the counters and add so much to the team.
I expect both Lallana and Henderson to really show their worth this season, i am just hoping that neither gets injuries this season, they deserve a break.
The much maligned.

Lallana is far better coming from deeper. Looks much better now in the midfield than in the wide attacker role.

Can...yeah its a good point about effectiveness now. Mane and Firmino has brought the best out of Lallana, they are all on the same wavelength and it shows.

Lallana has been in good form for quite a while now.
It's a bit early to be saying Hendo is back though. That was about his first really good game for 18 months and he still found the time to miss a sitter.
Big test for him at Chelsea, he rarely influences games against the best opposition, especially away from home.

Big fan of Lallana
The one big criticism is his lack of goals but he's made a decent start to the season.
As for Henderson - he shows glimpses of quality here or there but I don't believe he's captain or starting XI material.

Lallana has finally stopped taking a billion touches

Cos there is some movement around him I reckon.

That might help, but didnt stop him in the past doing it when a quick pass was on

Sturridge looks the most likely.
