David Thompson Talks to This Is Anfield on His Liverpool Career, Gerard Houllier and Brendan Rodgers

With the international break in full flow, Ben Twelves caught up with David Thompson this week, with the former Reds midfielder discussing his time at Anfield and the current Liverpool set-up.

Hi David, to kick us off, you played 56 times for Liverpool before leaving for Coventry City. Is there any game that sticks out in your memory as the best one?

The Sheffield Wednesday game by a mile was one of my best performances – one where I actually felt unrestricted on the field and was allowed to be myself which I felt wasn’t the case in a lot of the other games under Gerard Houllier. He had an obsession with the opposition and team block. This game I just enjoyed myself and expressed my ability like it was a youth team game.

In those appearances you scored five times for the Reds. Which of the goals was your most memorable?

I did only score five times but the one that sticks out is the Sheffield Wednesday goal at Anfield. It was a great performance by myself as I had a hand in nearly all the goals, but my goal was at the end of a jinky run and bent beautifully with my left foot into the top corner past a very good goalkeeper.

I knew I’d arrived after that, and I also knew I had more goals in me but I found it difficult to get my tally up from the right hand side.

You played and scored the same day that Steven Gerrard scored his first for the club in a team that featured a lot of youngsters -Yourself, Gerrard, Michael Owen, Danny Murphy and Dominic Matteo. Was there an extra special feeling playing for the club at that time, with the amount of young and local lads involved?

In terms of playing in the same team as a lot of the other local lads it was great because we all bonded so well together. It was a really enjoyable time one that I wish I would have stayed around longer for – we were a good group!

I think playing for your local team especially Liverpool with its rich history and You’ll Never Walk Alone anthem is an iconic moment; a dream really. Coming out onto the field in front of the Kop with that anthem is a moment I will treasure for my entire life.

Your Liverpool career came to an end after only four years around the first team set-up when Gerard Houllier allowed you to leave. Has there been a sense of frustration left that you didn’t get to stay longer at Anfield, and how did you feel about leaving the club at the time?

It was a sad time for me to leave as I felt Gerard Houllier was hindering me as a player.

First of all he put me out on the right of midfield when I had been a central midfield player all my life and always one of the best performing at any level I played in that position.

Steve Heighway had educated me for that position my whole life and it felt like a backward step playing there – one that I got pigeon holed in for the rest of my career.

That day [of leaving the club] was the saddest day of my life. I did intend to say goodbye to all the players and staff that I’d spent my time with there from the age of nine but I only got to the secretary’s office and she said she would miss me terribly. The tears fell down my face and wouldn’t stop.

I ran to my car – I wasn’t giving Houllier the satisfaction of seeing me in this way – and left without saying goodbye to my very good friends Carra, Stevie G, Robbie Fowler, Jamie Redknapp, Michael Owen, Dominic, Sami and everyone I loved from the grounds men to the canteen ladies.

I was very bitter towards that Frenchman who had completely misunderstood my passion and aggression to succeed.

What have you made of Liverpool’s turnaround under Brendan Rodgers?

I like what I see at Liverpool now. I love the manager and the pride he is reinstating back at the club, something that had been lost under the previous three managers. This club is huge, probably in the top four in the world I’m terms of history but today’s youth don’t see that.

What I like is that Brendan constantly reminds every one of the size and steep heritage that this club has. Also his ability to harness talent and progress them is exceptional – he’s an amazing man manager and has a special talent for building confidence in good and bad periods along anyone’s development; a very rare quality to have.

He’s also learning from his mistakes from the past in terms of not persisting too much – if it’s not working he changes it instantly. He’s very courageous and flexible – a terrific modern quality. He stands well above Benitez in this area and he could possibly go on to be one of our best managers of all time at a crucial turning point for the clubs future.

Who of the nine new signings made this summer has impressed you most so far?

In terms of the new foreign players it’s too early to judge and it wouldn’t be fair on them or me to cast an opinion. But I do like Adam Lallana – his footwork is exceptional combined with his vision and ability to find space and link up but he needs to be slightly more aggressive when not in possession.

Mario Balotelli isn’t cutting it for me. I just don’t think he understands that he constantly needs to make angles and cannot just run in straight lines; someone show him an Ian Rush or Robbie fowler video for how to move!

To me he’s a little bit of a football dyslexic; he doesn’t understand where he should be or what he should do. Yes, he has the attributes – pace strength and skill and when allowed to he can also finish, but his goals and assists ratio is poor if you take out penalties.

Sometimes having all these attributes is useless if you don’t have desire or the intelligence to show your true potential and get the best out of yourself. This is his last chance at a top club before he has to go back to a lesser league and he needs to grasp this chance now.

David Thompson is a former Liverpool midfielder and academy graduate who played 56 times for his boyhood club from 1996-2000 under Roy Evans and Gerard Houllier.

Thompson is now a television pundit on the game and you can follow him on Twitter:

Robbie Fowler’s Top 10 Liverpool Goals

Robbie Fowler made 369 appearances and scored 183 goals for Liverpool. Simon Collings recalls his favourite 10 Fowler goals – there were plenty to choose from!

With all the hoopla surrounding Liverpool’s misfiring start to the campaign, not so long ago a little anniversary crept by. 21 years ago on September 22nd 1993, Robert Bernard Fowler scored his first Liverpool goal. Fulham were the opponents in a first round league cup-tie. In the return leg at Anfield, he scored five – placing him in the history books. But with that first goal, Fowler began to pick up the mantle from Ian Rush and in 183 goals later, became a legend.

Not since Jimmy Greaves had English football seen such a predator in front of goal. Fowler was lethal, and he had it all: right foot, left foot, headers, volleys, and free kicks – even slalom runs. No angle was too tight, no distance too far. Such his genius in the box, his technique and intelligence as a whole was often overlooked. He formed great partnerships with the likes of Ian Rush and Stan Collymore – providing many assists and creating space for others to flourish in. However, with a handsome 183 goals in 369 appearances, it’s appropriate to celebrate him as one of our finest finishers.

A few have come and gone since his final departure in 2007: Fernando Torres and Luis Suarez to name a few. But Fowler remains closest to us. A local boy done good, who terrorised defences on a weekly basis.

It’s difficult to select just ten of his greatest goals as there’s so many – and everyone has their own favourites – but, in chronological order, here goes…

Man. United (Away) October 1st 1995, Premier League

In a match that was to be Eric Cantona’s comeback; Fowler stole the show with an exquisite double. His second – a cheeky chip over Peter Schmeichel, after out-muscling Gary Neville – was just as good, but his thunderous strike from the corner of the area silenced Old Trafford. Schmeichel, as well as the camera in the goal, didn’t stand a chance!

Aston Villa (Home) March 3rd 1996, Premier League

Steve Staunton look away now! This fearsome strike from 25 yards out helped put Villa to the sword early on. With his back to goal, Fowler flicked the ball past Staunton and with in a few strides, unleashed a rocket past Mark Bosnich. Again, the keeper had no chance.

Aston Villa (Old Trafford) March 31st 1996, F.A. Cup semi-final

Fowler was back terrorising the Villains again and helped seal a place back at Wembley in the process. With five minutes to go, and from free kick, Fowler intelligently peeled away to the edge of the box in the hope of a loose ball. When it came, he chested it down and struck a sweet left foot volley into the corner. Simply world class!

Chelsea (Home) September 21st 1996, Premier League

More of a team effort here than a slice of individual brilliance. Fowler’s opening header set the reds off on a 5-1 win over the blues. Stig Inge Bjornebye’s inch-perfect cross was met by Fowler on the run – who didn’t have to break stride. A textbook cross, finished with a powerfully headed goal.

Brann Bergen (Away) March 6th 1996, U.E.F.A. Cup-Winner’s Cup

Perhaps his most outrageous Liverpool goal? Fowler showed off his confidence, as well as his skill and technique, as he back-heeled the ball over his, and the on-rushing defender’s head, and hit a half volley into the back of the net. This was Fowler at his peak in a reds shirt.

Sheffield Weds. (Away) August 7th 1999, Premier League

At a time when injuries seemed more commonplace than goals, this rare gem on the opening day was a classic Fowler finish. Picking the ball on the edge of the box, Fowler steadied himself and curled a cute strike into the far corner. It was Bergkamp-esque but, due to lack of footage, we never got to see it in all its glory.

Man. United (Home) March 31st 2001, Premier League

Best remembered for Steven Gerrard’s blistering strike, Fowler’s calm finish was often overlooked during this satisfying win over Untied. With the ball coming over his shoulder, Fowler controlled it effortlessly under pressure from Gary Neville. With Fabien Barthez bearing down, he coolly rammed it home to give us a two-goal lead. Most enjoyable!

Birmingham City (Cardiff) February 25th 2001, League Cup Final

As captain in our first final in years, Fowler didn’t let us down with this sweet strike. After a standard route-one ball, he took Emile Heskey’s flick-on in his stride and, with minimum back lift, struck a dipping volley from 25 yards out. Big players rise to big occasions, and this was a fantastic goal to open the game up.

Charlton Athletic (Away) May 19th 2001, Premier League

In a game that would see us qualify for the Champions League for the first time, this cheeky overhead kick lob calmed a lot of nerves! Shortly after the break, Fowler opened the scoring after Charlton had battered us. From a corner, with his back to goal, he scooped the ball over his head and out of reach from the Charlton backline. Now how did he do that?

Leicester City (Away) October 20th 2001, Premier League

His third and best of an impressive hat trick at the old Filbert Street ground. With link up play involving Jari Litmanen and Vladimir Smicer, Fowler received the ball just inside the area at waist height, and effortlessly caressed a sweet volley into the back of the net. He made it look so simple as his technique was flawless. It was his last treble for the club.

Brendan Rodgers needs to stick to his word over Jordan Henderson’s Liverpool role

Brendan Rodgers‘ use of Jordan Henderson tactically over the start to the season has been at odds with what we saw last season and what the manager says he wants. The West Brom game finally saw that change, for the better.

It was an eyebrow-raising signature when Liverpool spent a reported £20 million on Jordan Henderson back in the summer of 2011. That amount of money for a relatively unproven midfielder, who had yet to turn 21 years of age, meant Henderson’s Liverpool career had begun with a proverbial monkey on his back. His age and the “English premium” meant the fee was perhaps inflated.

Nonetheless, Henderson was thrown into the side, actually making more appearances than any other outfield player for the club in his debut season – and predominantly in his less natural position on the right of midfield.

Upon his arrival at the club, Brendan Rodgers hadn’t seen enough of what he liked from Hendo and seriously entertained an offer from Fulham to sign him on the eve of the 2012/13 season. Henderson, to his credit, turned down the move and wanted to stay on Merseyside and prove his worth. It turned out to be a good decision for both parties.

Last year, Henderson’s midfield energy was more often than not a catalyst for Liverpool’s surge to second position in the league. His numbers were small with respect to goals and assists (four and seven respectively), but Hendo was integral to much more of Liverpool’s goal scoring movements last season. His harassment of opposing midfielders was an endearing characteristic to the faithful at Anfield, and this was typified in his bullying of Mesut Ozil in the 5-1 thrashing of Arsenal.

Off he went to the World Cup, an England regular but deployed alongside Steven Gerrard in a 4-2-3-1 rather than ahead of him as he had been used under Rodgers at Liverpool for the 2013/14 season. The two looked flat and Henderson’s best asset, his pressing, was removed. Nice work Roy.

New Season

However, the hangover from last season’s successes has hit home early during this campaign and bizarrely Rodgers has regularly repeated the mistake of Hodgson at the World Cup. Henderson has been less effective consequently.

In the summer, Rodgers outlined his objectives for Henderson this season and challenged him to score more goals. “This year we’re asking him to get more into the box,” the boss said.

So it was odd that Rodgers than began playing Henderson in a deeper role. Until the West Brom match on Saturday – where Henderson was actually deployed ahead of Philippe Coutinho a three-man midfield within a 4-3-3 shape. I’m unsure why Rodgers waited this long to play Hendo in a more advanced position?

We saw the results of this attacking system change as a beautiful flick helped Adam Lallana score his first for the club, and his lovely side foot finish in the second half capped off the 24-year-old’s man-of-the-match performance. We saw from the first whistle that Coutinho was operating deeper in midfield, which allowed Jordan to get in and around the box where he has the ability to make things happen.

A goal and an assist provided a healthy return to a more attacking position for Henderson.

The return to fitness after the international break of Daniel Sturridge will tempt Rodgers to revert back to a diamond midfield. This will more likely than not see Henderson operating on the left or right side of that diamond. I’m fine with this set-up, as it allows for the high energy pressing of Henderson and one other, likely Joe Allen once he returns too.

Goalscoring wise, Henderson has the ability to hit double figures for a season. Liverpool Football Club needs him to hit these numbers. So, it’s simple, Brendan, stay true to your word and let Hendo get forward!
