This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

I just don't get the hate... by NDMike2001

That's the same midfield that took them to the UCL finals last year.

Sure, we all like the thought of Fabinho, Keita and Shaq upgrading the midfield. But you're talking about a situation in which conceding one goal most likely gets you booted when you are playing a team that gives up less than a goal per game.

I have no problem sticking with your guns and looking for the spark from the others if you need them.

I rather like Henderson. He's not flashy, but he gets the job done and provides good leadership. Sure, Fabinho is probably the better player. But that would have been a huge, huge call to drop Hendo in the biggest match of the season.
