Well, me and Mark were having this discussion before we started recording.

And I guess the dilemma that the two calls presented with is if Henderson, let's say Henderson's a fourth choice central midfielder, right?

And the alternatives were Morgan Gibbs-White or Adam Wharton.

If none of them are going to play that much, what's more valuable?

Bringing Wharton and Gibbs-White as a possible option or the intangibles that Henderson does, which we will never see, but we're made aware of through interviews with the players, etc.,

And I do think that sometimes having a leader of Henderson's calibre is really crucial for maintaining standards, keeping people positive, focused.

I know that the video has sort of gone viral of Jude Bellingham and Morgan Rogers talking about...

If you asked anybody in the squad who they'd want to be here, Henderson would be in everyone's top five because he's funny.

And I think that's also a crucial element of it.

These players, if they reach the final, will be away from home for six, seven weeks.

There'll be lots of travel.

If Henderson is not just an older figure they can look up to for leadership...

but can give you a little bit of comic relief, then that's important when you're sort of on top of each other day in, day out.

And it can get very intense and it can get very stressful to have someone there who can put his arm around your shoulder and crack a couple of jokes or two, which lighten the mood, I think is very important.

But there's no statistic that measures like comic relief or anything like that.

Do you know what I mean?

So it's hard for us from the outside looking in

to see how valuable he is.

But it sounds like stuff he does on a day-to-day basis, which is probably really simple, has a massive impact.

Okay, how expectant are you then?
