# Liverpool: Fans unhappy with Jordan Henderson over wayward shooting against Watford

**A number of Liverpool fans on Twitter expressed their dissatisfaction with captain Jordan Henderson despite their team’s positive result today.**

The Reds made it 16 wins out of 17 in the Premier League this season after they saw off the stern challenge of Watford to prevail with a 2-0 victory at Anfield, courtesy of a double from Mohamed Salah. \[[via liverpoolfc.com](https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/first-team/378067-match-report-liverpool-watford-premier-league)\]

Henderson, who played in a defensive midfield role alongside Georginio Wijnaldum in a 4-2-3-1 formation (as per [Sky Sports](https://www.skysports.com/football/liverpool-vs-watford/teams/408146)), had two shots during Liverpool’s latest victory but missed the target with both of them (as per [WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Matches/1376297/LiveStatistics/England-Premier-League-2019-2020-Liverpool-Watford)).

He sliced a loose ball well over the bar in the first half, as noted by the match report on [liverpoolfc.com](https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/first-team/378067-match-report-liverpool-watford-premier-league), and also failed to trouble Watford goalkeeper Ben Foster with his other effort in the game.

Henderson has scored just [once in 22 games this season](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jordan-henderson/leistungsdaten/spieler/61651) and his wayward shooting annoyed plenty of Liverpool fans on Twitter, with some comparing that attribute unfavourably to [former Reds midfielder and captain](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/steven-gerrard/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/3109/verein/31) Steven Gerrard, who frequently [found the net with shots from outside the penalty area](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/17/History/Steven-Gerrard) and [scored 186 times](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/steven-gerrard/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/3109/verein/31) for the Reds:
