Premier League: Jordan Henderson leaps to Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard's defence

Jordan Henderson has hit back at critics of Steven Gerrard

Jordan Henderson has leapt to the defence of Steven Gerrard and insists any criticism of the Liverpool captain this season is totally unjustified.

Gerrard’s perceived waning influence has been highlighted as a factor in Liverpool's shaky start to the campaign.

But Brendan Rodgers' side were much more dynamic in Saturday's Merseyside derby and Gerrard's free-kick in the 65th minute appeared to have sealed victory until Phil Jagielka struck a stunning late equaliser to earn a 1-1 draw for Everton.

Gerrard has now scored nine goals in Premier League Merseyside derbies, more than any other player.

Henderson said of his 34-year-old midfield partner: "Stevie's still one of the best players in the Premier League.

"There's no doubting his quality. A lot of teams have been putting someone to man-mark him, which shows just how good he is. I don't think he deserves any criticism. He's been the best player this league's probably seen in a long time and still is."

Liverpool had 24 shots compared to Everton's 11 and Tim Howard, who got a hand to Gerrard's free-kick but could not keep it out, was certainly the busier goalkeeper.

Rodgers' team have struggled to recapture the form that almost brought them the league title last season, but the consolation from Saturday's result was certainly an improved display.

Henderson said: "It's disappointing. The performance was very good, back to the level we expect.

"The intensity was good all over the pitch, we worked hard, we were more fluent going forward and we made chances as well. And also we defended really well throughout the game so that was pleasing.

"We did quite a lot of work during the week on defending and I think we showed just how well we can defend, so that needs to be the case from now on.

"Then with the goal, there's not much you can do about that, it's a great strike."

Rodgers had hoped for a similar spark to last season, when a 4-0 victory over Everton at Anfield began a run of 37 points from a possible 39.

Instead, their bubble was well and truly burst by Jagielka's wonder strike and it was the Everton fans left singing in the stands at the end.

But Henderson is confident there will be no hangover with a busy fixture list ahead, starting with a Champions League trip to Basel on Wednesday.

"I don't think it'll affect us because the performance level was very good," said the England man.

"We've got to take the positives out of that. The goal was in the top corner so we've just got to keep going and keep playing like that. If we keep putting in performances like that we'll win more than we don't."

Jordan Henderson: Analysing the Midfielder’s Performance for Liverpool vs. Everton

With Liverpool outperforming Everton until the last minute in Saturday’s Merseyside Derby, Jordan Henderson stood out above the rest, writes Jack Lusby.

The first Merseyside Derby of the 2014/15 Premier League looked set to end with a comfortable 1-0 victory for Brendan Rodgers’ Liverpool, before a sensational stoppage-time equaliser from Everton centre-back Phil Jagielka stunned Anfield.

It was a moment of pure footballing immensity, and one fitting the stage perfectly; one can only sit back during these moments and savour the drama as it unfolds, as this is the essence of watching football, after all.

Deflated Reds must do so during this tumultuous start to the season under Rodgers—with just seven points from six league games so far, Liverpool now find themselves 12th, wedged between West Ham United and rivals Everton.

One bright positive to take from this draw, however, was the performance of Liverpool midfielder Jordan Henderson throughout.

Taking his place alongside Steven Gerrard in the midfield on Saturday, the Liverpool No. 14 turned in a performance of sheer quality.

Work Rate

It may go without saying, with work rate a hallmark of Henderson’s game under Rodgers at Liverpool, but the midfielder’s ability to harry the opposition, read the game and win challenges in the Merseyside Derby was second to none.

Whilst Everton were on the back foot for the majority of the game, Henderson was on hand to stymie any advances Roberto Martinez’s men made with a series of astute challenges.

The Spaniard chose to give summer acquisition Muhamed Besic a first start for the club in the most high-profile of encounters, no doubt hoping the Bosnian’s hard-edged approach would add bite to proceedings.

However, Henderson had the No. 17’s number from the off.

With Besic receiving possession early in the first half, Henderson was quick to the Everton man’s feet, not allowing the midfielder any time on the ball in order to gain a grasp on the game.

Henderson, deployed alongside Gerrard as the base of Rodgers’ midfield, was surprisingly often found offering support to right-back Javi Manquillo, with Everton’s Besic, Kevin Mirallas and Leighton Baines often overloading the young Spaniard.

This was vital, with the limp Lazar Markovic offering little from the Reds’ right flank.

As well as providing cover for Manquillo with regularity, Henderson’s engine stretched to incorporate the deficiencies in midfield partner Gerrard’s defensive game.

This could be seen quite remarkably with the 24-year-old outpacing Gerrard in order to block the run of Mirallas, with Henderson’s 34-year-old counterpart struggling to keep up with the rapid Everton man.

Furthermore, Henderson’s work rate was behind what was perhaps the move of the match for the Reds on Saturday, outlining the midfielder’s ability to build on his defensive work to open up the opposition.

Intercepting a ball from Everton bruiser Gareth Barry near the centre circle, after good work by the harrying Adam Lallana, Henderson drove towards the Toffees box.

With the ever energetic Raheem Sterling complementing his advances, Henderson was able to slide the teenager in with a precisely weighted through ball.

Sterling was unable to find the net with his resulting effort, but Henderson’s ability to carve out chances from what was initially the build-up to an opposition attack is remarkable; this season the midfielder’s drive is matched by his tactical nous.

Passing Range

What has developed alongside this work rate this season is Henderson’s passing range, and the midfielder now boasts an immaculate delivery.

These are far from all sideways passes, as is often the case with statistically imperious central midfielders (see: Scott Parker, 2012), and this has already been seen in Henderson this season with a pair of assists so far.

Henderson’s lofted through ball, delicately poised to reach the advancing Mario Balotelli, in the first half signalled the midfielder’s intentions alongside Gerrard—the Reds captain is renowned for his passing qualities, but Henderson would not be outdone.

Henderson displayed a canny ability to spot a pass with a swiftly switched ball out to Sterling on the left flank after receiving the ball 35 yards out.

Furthermore, this shows Henderson’s footballing intelligence—one of few redeeming features on show for the Reds so far in a dismal start to the Premier League season.

Manquillo returned the favour in supporting Henderson in the attacking sector, too, and the England midfielder’s slide pass through to the onrushing Spaniard on the right flank carved open the Everton defence.

The right-back was unfortunate not to find Balotelli with the resulting cutback.

Far from just a pair of persistent legs, Henderson has proved so far this season that his developing creative game will be an invaluable asset for Rodgers moving forward.

Eye for Goal

It is often levelled at Henderson that, to become a truly great midfielder, the Liverpool man will need to start chipping in with more goals—presumably, Manchester City’s free-scoring legend Frank Lampard has served as a reminder in recent weeks.

At the start of 2014/15, Brendan Rodgers challenged Henderson to score “upwards of 10 goals this season,” alluding to the Lampard touch “because he has the quality and the tactical nose to arrive in the area to do that.”

Against Everton, Henderson looked intent on making his mark on Tim Howard’s goal.

Firstly, in the opening stages, a curled effort after having been found by Sterling on the edge of the box—and the partnership between the two is becoming as crucial as the teenager’s with Daniel Sturridge—was unfortunately blocked by the alert Howard.

It is important to note, in this image, that there are a total of seven Everton outfield players in their box; Martinez’s side were structured so as to frustrate the Reds into chances such as Henderson’s.

After the introduction of the lively Philippe Coutinho, replacing Markovic, Liverpool did manage to create more, and it was the Brazilian’s shot, blocked by an impressive John Stones, that led to Henderson’s second attempt of the game.

A beautifully struck shot on the rebound, Henderson was again unlucky to find his effort too close to Howard in the Everton goal—the technique shown by the Englishman to get above the ball is encouraging, however.

This attempt in particular saw Henderson arrive in a fashion perhaps less reminiscent of Lampard and more of the Gerrard of old.

Continue to develop this knack, and Henderson will have no trouble reaching his season’s goal.

Adam Lallana fitness update

Liverpool and England international midfielder Adam Lallana says he is nearing complete match sharpness after coming through Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Everton at Anfield.

The 26-year-old played the full game as Phil Jagielka’s 90th minute strike cancelled out Steven Gerrard‘s second-half free-kick to share the points in the Merseyside derby.

A knee injury picked up during a training session on Liverpool’s pre-season tour of the USA forced Lallana’s Reds career to be delayed, making his debut in Liverpool’s 1-0 defeat to Aston Villa earlier this month.

Another good performance against Everton on Saturday was followed by Lallana telling the club’s official website that he almost feels back to normal.

“After every game I’m feeling more comfortable,” he said. “I just want to keep working hard and I still feel I can improve even more, get better and put in better performances.

“I don’t want to make excuses, but I did miss pre-season. It’s a valuable part of getting the rustiness out. It’s just going to be with game time now.

“Because of the injuries we’ve had, I’ve probably played a lot more than I would have done coming back from injury. But it has been great – that’s what you need as a player.

“I felt great out there, fitness-wise, and it’s just disappointing we couldn’t get the three points.”
