‘Henderson is the glue holding Liverpool together’ – Ex-Reds striker admits he got captain call wrong

Stan Collymore admits to having questioned whether experienced heads should be in the side, but now has no doubts that the skipper deserves his place

Jordan Henderson is the “glue” helping to hold Liverpool together, says Stan Collymore, with the former Reds striker prepared to admit he got it wrong when previously questioning the midfielder’s worth.

As Jurgen Klopp’s side headed into the 2019-20 campaign, it was suggested that some more senior stars may have to take a backseat role.

Henderson, along with James Milner, was considered to slip into that category despite his standing as club captain at Anfield.
