Sturridge having a strop when he didn't get the penalty and then not celebrating with Balotelli, sign of good team harmony!

Blah blah blah

Can is some asset to the team. Some operator both in defence and the engine room

Henderson is no captain. He was acting like a spoiled child. Never scores but must think the armband makes him Roy of the Rovers.

Don't like what Stevie G said there. He should have laughed it off.

What he say? What station?I'm watching 3e

[AZOffaly]

On itv. He said Henderson was on the penalties and should have taken it, and mario was mischievous and disrespected Henderson.

Even the crowd cheered when balo took the ball of henderson.  Mario was the.only man for the job

Dead right too !

It's a tough one. Obviously Henderson was on penos, Gerrard said it is up on the board in the dressing room, but ballotelli wasn't starting so he'd obviously not be on them. Then when he came on he obviously wanted it, and Henderson let him have it initially before seeming to get a bit pissed off over it.

He's right though is he not?
Henderson is Captain and Mario undermined him.
I'd rather see Mario take the peno but Henderson should have the final say though  and as I said he didn't seem to have the balls to stand up to Mario. Doesn't say much for him as a Captain.

He wanted henderson to take it if you watch it back. Stevie g not impressed. Rightly so looking at how it unfolded.

Of course he's right. But he didn't need to say it on TV. I'm sure the point will be made in the dressing room.

As for Henderson, I think he will learn from it, but it probably would have looked worse if he started fighting with him!

I can see the point in that Henderson was the designated player but Balo is a proper penalty taker and there should have been no issue.  He show a lot of leadership when he came on and should start alongside Sturridge, who I thought was poor tonight, with 1 behind them.  Ibe was excellent,  Henderson put a good shift in but can be limited in some ways too.  Can needs to be in the MF.  Anyway, a good result and sets it up nicely for 2nd leg.

[AZOffaly]

Ballotelli was excellent when he came on. They have a lot of good options going forward now, and options in formations and personnel. That's a good place to be.

[mikehunt]

What qualifies him to take them. Just cos hes captain? You'd think Mario would be the man as he's taken them all his career.
