Just seen an item on Breakfast TV about the Panini WC sticker book launched last night. They showed a sticker of Jordan Henderson Brentford FC. Who would ever have thought…….
A complete sticker book would cost £1300
(y) :love:

Did Igor make the Brazil page??!!
 

Jordan Henderson

Only concentrated their attention on England. If only ROI and Denmark had qualified. I assume Ajer will be in for Norway.

Off topic, but this contains the details of all the stickers:

Igor doesn't make the cut for Brazil...............

Hickey does for Scotland, and Ajer for Norway.......
 

Jordan Henderson

That’s the problem, Panini have to make a calculated guess as to will make the cut and they often get very wrong. Henderson might not make it, but he can put it on his CV, claim to fame that he was a Panini sticker!

They always do update packs once squads are known, just to fleece you of a few more quid.

Maybe if you don't do any swapping. It's £1.25 for a pack of 5, 980 stickers so £245 without duplicates. Online swapping makes that part a lot easier, and you can usually buy the last few directly from panini so probably near £300.

Does anyone actually know what the injury was/is?

Feel like the huge must win occasion on Sunday would be a perfect game for Hendo to start.

Not fazed by big atmospheres and good to be in the ear of any official looking at giving decisions the home sides way.
Who does he start instead of is the question although he won’t be fazed by the environment .

I’d start him ahead of Damsgaard. He had a poor game last time out, and a Yarmo/Henderson/Jensen midfield three would give us early stability and robustness. Matti can ping balls long for the front three to get behind Liverpool’s aging and slow back 4.

My preference would be Jensen. Damsgaard can be very disruptive, buzzing around, while Henderson has the long passes.
 

Jordan Henderson

Hendo must start, we need the maturity and leadership from someone who has been there done it, in a game like Sundays.
Literally done it there in spades too.
Potentially his first appearance at Anfield since leaving there in 2023.
He might even get a better reception from the locals than Mo(an) Salah :unsure:

It’s a tough call. I just think Dams will give us more impact as a sub later on than Jensen.
TBH we’re lucky to have two such good players!

He can play both. Midfield 3 of Yarmoulik, Henderson & Jensen with a front 3 of Dango, Thiago and Damsgaard

As long as it’s not 4-2-2-2!

He can, but I think this is a game for Schade and Dango to use their pace. Liverpool are vulnerable if you get behind them

More than he cost us! ( Well not with signing fees / agency etc!)
 

Jordan Henderson

Really pleased for him. He has been a positive influence for us this season both on and off the pitch and also for England. That’s why I’m sure he’s been picked. He might not get a full 90 minutes in a game at the WC, but will play his part.
Just want him to get game time tomorrow when we are 0-3 up,
 

Jordan Henderson

He’s going to be in good company, as it’s shaping up as a veterans tournament! In addition to the usual suspects, we have 43yo Craig Gordon for Scotland. Then there’s 40 yo Manuel Neuer having another crack at it for Germany, and lastly, soon to be 41 yo Luka Modric back for Croatia…
 

Jordan Henderson

Henderson is going for a reason and I would assume that would be his leadership qualities, whereas Wharton is young and his time will come in the England set up
Henderson gives more to the squad than minutes on the pitch which may be quite minimal in this tournament.

His (and Ajer’s) value to Brentford’s squad is also more valuable than minutes on the pitch – with a young squad that, in the most cases, is added to by even younger players, there’s an incalculable benefit to having those players in the dressing room.

Happy for him, he had a great season in the pitch, and definitely brings a lot more intangibles to the squad.

Agree with this 💯
 

Jordan Henderson

England player in the squad. And….

3 ex Brentford players in the squad. Wowza.

What a time to be a Brentford fan. I remember Gary Roberts getting called up to the Welsh U21 squad back in the day, and that as a huge thing!
Now we've got current and ex players representing various countries in the World Cup! Long may it continue!!

We’ve now had more than 120 players that have played international football while at the club. A lot gained in the past 10 years.

Nicky Forster being selected for the Toulon Under 21 tournament was massive.

Not forgetting Ronaldo Messi & Djeko

I agree with this, I don't think it's any coincidence that Vitaly and Mathias have reached new heights since he arrived. On the training ground, in the dressing room and on the pitch Henderson has been a fantastic signing and one can certainly understand why Tuchel wants him around the squad.
 

Jordan Henderson

Just goes to show. Twelve months ago, I would have viewed his selection with dismay. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have been alone in that view. After a year at Brentford, I can see what he brings to a squad and how he will be able to contribute this summer.

Incidentally, for those wondering about Dan Burn's selection, well, with his stentorian voice and ready wit, he is by far and away the best bingo caller to have played for England in recent years. Essential during those long periods between matches.

You won't be able to move with all those Zimmer frames.

4th World Cup squad for Jordan is incredible. Only matched by Bobby Charlton. If he gets any minutes, then he will surpass Charlton - as in his fourth squad Charlton didn’t play.

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
 

Jordan Henderson

Didn’t Brian? Turner get a game (Ooerr!), for New Zealand in a World Cup?
IIRC Brian Turner was a NZ international but I don’t think he played in a World Cup. I think he played for us 1970-71 when I moved back to Kew.
