READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT
Henderson was exceptional against Arsenal, as he constantly shifted the ball on quickly and looked to set the likes of Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andrew Robertson away down the flanks.
There was one sensational pass, in particular, where he hit a half-volley switch to Robertson on the left – leaving him in acres of space out wide to put a cross into the box.
His industrious performances in midfield are key for Liverpool, as he wins the ball back in his own half whilst also offering a creative outlet in and around the opposition’s box.
