Many Liverpool fans were delighted with the performance of captain Jordan Henderson despite his side’s 3-1 defeat to Leicester City on Saturday.
The 30-year-old was converted into a makeshift centre-back once more to nurse the injury crisis in the defensive department, with Virgil Van Dijk, Fabinho, Joel Matip and Joe Gomez all out of action.

Henderson, who earns £140k-per-week at Anfield, found himself all over the pitch in order to turn the screw in the tie – striding into the midfield and getting crosses in from the right-hand side.
The England international started at the heart of the defence for the seventh-game running and had scored once and provided one assist from 18 starts before the game (WhoScored).
