That's the issue. Pirlo has enough of an upside to justify starting players to cover him. Granted those players are world class and have their own upside even in that role, but you get my point. Henderson is being completely and totally wasted when Gerrard is on the pitch. Its no coincidence he's all of a sudden a goal threat when Lucas is on in a 3 CB system. Its the only set up where he's allowed enough freedom to push forward at will. And it has paid off when it happens.

I've thought this since the World Cup, but I'd hate to see a player like Henderson assigned to an attacking role. One of his best attributes is his engine, and having him on both sides of the pitch is more beneficial for 'Pool in my view. He can be a shuttler type player and still have a massive contribution on the field. I don't think he's going to reach Gerrard's when Stevie was played behind the striker but he's more useful for 'Pool and for England as being a link player tying defense to offense. He excels in the transition game in particular.
