England fans all say the same thing as Jordan Henderson comes on with Three Lions being held by USA


ENGLAND fans were left saying the same thing as they turned to Jordan Henderson to save them against the USA.

It was worrying all-round for Gareth Southgate as his side laboured to a drab draw against the Americans – with even the WAGS watching on in horror.

Other than an early chance for Harry Kane and a Mason Mason effort just before the break, it was all USA in the first half.

And there was no doubt that they should have been ahead at the break.

Chelsea’s Christian Pulisic will feel the most hard done after his effort whacked Jordan Pickford’s crossbar.

However, England survived with the deadlock still unbroken during the vital World Cup clash.

The pressure continued after the restart, eventually forcing Southgate into a reshuffle.

Henderson, who only has two goals in 71 caps, and Jack Grealish replaced Jude Bellingham and Raheem Sterling on 68 minutes.

But it was the Liverpool skipper’s introduction that sent Twitter into meltdown as many were not convinced by the change.

One wrote: “I don’t know how you can view this match and think ‘ah yes Jordan Henderson will change the balance of this game’.”

Another said: “Jordan Henderson. That’s like when you click auto sub on Fifa by accident.”

A fellow England fan commented: “Loooooooooool you need a goal and you send on Jordan Henderson.”

While another tweeted: “YOU NEED A GOAL AGAINST F***ING USA AND YOU BRING ON JORDAN HENDERSON.

“Southgate MUST pay for his crimes against the beautiful sport.”

Kane had another opportunity at the death to snatch an undeserved winner but headed high and wide as it finished honours even.

That result left England still top of the group on four points, a point ahead of second-placed Iran.

The USA, who take on Iran on Tuesday, are third on two points after consecutive draws.

And Wales, who England face in their final Group B match, are bottom on one point.

That means the Three Lions will qualify for the knockouts if they avoid a 4-0 defeat to the Welsh.
