Liverpool breezed past Sheffield United on Thursday evening courtesy of goals from Sadio Mane and Mo Salah.
It was the type of imperious display that naturally evokes plenty of praise throughout the British media and Jordan Henderson was at the heart of that.
In the aftermath of proceedings, Gary Lineker tweeted labelling Jordan Henderson as the most underrated player in Premier League history, but the narrative surrounding his performance didn’t end there.
Liverpool’s captain is a player who has divided opinion throughout his career and Jurgen Klopp alluded to his doubters during his post-match interview.
The structure of Klopp’s response suggests he believes that no player is impervious to criticism but also that Henderson’s qualities have been unjustly overlooked over the years.
What is for certain, however, is that the 29-year-old is an integral part of a Liverpool side who are Champions League holders and running away with the Premier League title. That in itself speak volumes about Henderson’s calibre.
In response to the manager’s admission, these supporters claimed he nailed it on the head with his assessment.
Elsewhere Liverpool fans eulogised about Henderson in light of his recent display, with one suggesting he would be selected in the starting XI of any team in England.
Others pointed to the criticism he has received throughout his career and claimed the former Sunderland man has silence those fans.
Finally, following the beginning of a new year and decade, one fan claimed Henderson was the best player of the past ten years in a glowing endorsement.
