I have sometimes been lukewarm about Henderson as our captain, but his comments today regarding his needing to earn his place on the field were spot-on and a perfect demonstration of the attitude necessary for all squad members - true leading by example.
He is only an above-average footballer, but improving all the time in the captains role and I am perfectly happy for him to keep the armband - even if on the bench.
And, Milner and VVD are the perfect deputies in the Carra mold.
“I think it is normal at a club like Liverpool. You are always going to want to sign top players. You can’t say ‘strengthen every area except my position'.
We have players who can play in my position like Gini (Wijnaldum), who at the minute is doing it brilliantly. Fabinho’s come in, Naby has done fantastically well.
At the same time we lost Emre (Can) – a fantastic player – and Chambo (Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain) through injury, and Adam (Lallana) is also out but hopefully back soon.
“You need that depth to win trophies. That is the challenge to be better and improve to try to help the team win as many games as possible.”
