Like others have said on here, these public vote polls are a farce, open to tribal loyalties skewing them (like MOTD’s ‘Goal Of The Month’) Henderson’s a half decent player but the acid test is, would you want him in our squad? Emphatic ‘No’ from me.So did he have the most saves ,tackles, interceptions work rate,passes, pass %, assists,dribbles, goals or shots for club or country? the answer to that is no, the FA has made itself look very very stupid
And, saddo that I am, I just looked at the FA site for appearances from the start of the 2018-19 season to date and read that Henderson was in the England starting eleven 7 times, with 0 goals and 7 yellow cards. By contrast, say, Kane started 13 games, scored 13 and got 1 yellow card; Sterling started 12, scored 10 and got 2 cards; Rashford started 9, scored 7, with 0 cards; Maguire started 14, with 0 goals and 1 card.. I know statistics don’t tell everything but The Great Hendo’s recent record really doesn’t compare with other members of the squad, to say the least. Especially seeing as I can’t recall getting to the end of an England game and thinking ‘Phew! I’m so glad that we have Jordan Henderson on our side, what with his match-winning performances dragging us out of the mire and all.. Praise be!’
