At Empire of the Kop, we really don’t understand the mindset of supporters who while witnessing Liverpool handing out a 7-0 Champions League drubbing, take time to slate the club captain on Twitter.
Jordan Henderson was rested for the trip to Slovenia and watched his team-mates put Maribor to the sword from the bench, with Jurgen Klopp choosing a midfield three of Emre Can, Gini Wijnaldum and James Milner.

The latter especially did excellently, but can’t we enjoy Milner’s performance as a separate entity rather than abusing Henderson at the same time?
We can understand some of these tweets which suggest the vice-captain should take the captain’s place v Spurs at Wembley – but the ones which simply slam Hendo for no apparent reason are ridiculous.
What supporters should be taking from this game is that we have much more strength in depth than we realised. That seasoned internationals are fighting each other for spots in Klopp’s side…
It’s positive. Let’s focus on the good stuff and encourage some more thrashings like we saw last night.
Some people is getting curious that flowing of the game against Maribor becoz Henderson was dropped on the bench. Agree reds?

Even though Maribor are very poor we wouldn't have won this game 7-0 with Henderson IMO he is slowing us down and very often stuck our attack he is just not right for this team.

Jordan Henderson is the reason #LFC cannot conpete. Not a runner anymore, out of position, accommodated, spineless, not a leader and shite.
