DM Jordan Henderson

Before the season, a lot of Liverpool fans wouldn’t fancy Henderson just in Klopp’s first XI let alone a combined one with United. I’m numerous times on record saying how that drivel was laughable after one injury riddled season, but they were opinions held nonetheless.

Unfortunately, stubbornness prevailed and those opinions are still held. Whatever. More Henderson for us.

Henderson was largely considered behind Emre Can in ratings prior to the beginning of the season but the latter has been injured most of this season while the former has sparkled. He’s hardly put a foot wrong, consummated with his wonder goal against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

His biggest competition from Manchester to get in this team would be Marouane Fellaini, so, yeah.
