Jordan Henderson. The first Liverpool captain to bring them a Premier League trophy.
Jordan Henderson has provided the much-required stability for the Merseyside like a hatchback car. The player has been an absolute leader and has played 308 games in a decade, one game higher than his colleague, James Milner.
Also, the stats state Liverpool has won 13% more than that of usual whenever Jordan Henderson has featured. The loss against Watford outlined Henderson’s importance as the player didn’t feature against the Hornets.
Despite this, the midfielder has provided five assists and scored three goals for the Reds. He has been the heart of the team in the middle of the park. He has served the midfield with purpose and relentlessness.
