Manchester United 1-1 Liverpool: 5 Hits and Flops | Premier League 2019-20

#4 Flop: Jordan Henderson

Henderson didn't lead by example as a captain should

Despite an enthusiastic showing, Jordan Henderson flattered to deceive on this occasion and didn't lead by example like a captain is expected to with his teammates struggling to settle quickly.

Instead, it was Georginio Wijnaldum who seemed liveliest in a forgettable first-half display which saw a nervy Liverpool go behind as they were second best against an unpredictable United side who themselves have grossly underperformed this season.

Klopp's tactical change to a 4-4-2 didn't help matters after the break either, as Henderson cut a frustrated figure operating on the right-hand side of midfield - an unnatural role - where he looked lost. He spent more time growling at teammates and officials than helping get his side back into the thick of things.

Despite completing three tackles, two interceptions and one clearance, his crosses were not working and persistence didn't pay off either. Henderson lost possession 12 times, committed two fouls and only won four of 10 duels contested before being replaced by Lallana with 20 minutes to play.

Roberto Firmino also disapppointed, though club captain Henderson shoulders more responsibility and ultimately failed against an opposition he should've relished playing against.
