John Giles delivers a withering assessment of Liverpool and their midfield

"He's one of the most non-creative players I've ever seen playing in midfield."

John Giles has given his take on Liverpool's troubles, and delivered a withering assessment of the team's midfield duo. Liverpool have struggled for form and results since the turn of the year, with their only win in 2017, in any competition, coming in an FA Cup replay against Plymouth Argyle last month. They haven't won a league game since beating Manchester City 1-0 on December 31. They look to have slipped out of the title race and face a fight to finish in the top four. Former Leeds United and Republic of Ireland midfielder Giles claims Liverpool's big problem is their defence and that Jurgen Klopp is a "one-trick pony." "Henderson is not going to create anything, he's one of the most non-creative players I've ever seen playing in midfield," Giles said.

"And they have Can who doesn't have a creative bone in his body either. "He's a good athlete but I don't think Henderson is a player at all, every ball he gets is back and sideways. "If the opposition have the ball, Can can win it, Henderson can win it sometimes and pass to other people, but once the opposition give them the ball and say 'break us down', I don't think they have the ability to do it."
