#3 Jordan Henderson
Jordan Henderson seemed destined to be a Liverpool flop. Comparisons with Steven Gerrard early in his career did not help and while the 26-year-old struggled in the first two seasons, he has quickly become one of the most vital members of this Liverpool squad.
Thrust with captaincy after Steven Gerrard’s exit, Henderson has more than lived upto his role and is one of the most underrated and consistent performers in the Premier League.
Henderson has astonishingly completed 1700 passes in the Premier League (more than 300 ahead of Kante) and he has even won the ball back an incredible 44 times for his team. Playing in the deep lying number 6 role this season, the 26-year-old has shown an amazing capacity to read play and his tactical awareness has helped Klopp implement his system successfully.

The importance of Liverpool’s captain can be seen below:
While Henderson might never be able to replace Gerrard, the 26-year-old has grown to become one of the best midfielders in the Premier League. With the Englishman expected to return soon from an injury, Klopp will be hoping that Henderson inspires Liverpool to a top 4 finish in the Premier League this season.
