Jordan Henderson’s stats this season so far:
- Games – 25
- Starts – 22
- Goals – 3
- Assists – 5
- Tackles – 37
- Interceptions – 24
- Chances created – 31
However, these stats tell you half the story. The other half of the story comes from watching him bossing the midfield both as a number 8 as well as a number 6 in Fabinho’s absence. The Reds skipper has been an absolute beast in the midfield this season but he doesn’t always gets the credit that he deserves. He missed a few games before the league’s suspension and it is no surprise that Liverpool struggled without him.
Henderson is also a strong contender for the PFA Player of the Season award alongside Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne. One wouldn’t be too wrong in saying that the Reds skipper has been one of the most important players at Anfield this season so far.
