Re: Hendrick

He’s had a good game on the right. Helped stopped the Antonio threat, covered well and showed some great touches. Good assist and a composed quality goal. Demonstrated the passing technique that created the goal for Vydra at Southampton. We’ll miss him that’s for sure. Certainly made a fool of the OP.
