Despite persistent moans and groans from Liverpool supporters who claim that Henderson is only good at passing the ball sideways and backwards, the 28-year-old showcased just how important he is to the side in their win over Porto mid-week.

He cut up the Porto defence with splitting through-balls to the point where they simply didn't know what to do. Mane, Salah, and Firmino were latching onto them, causing complete chaos in the final third for Porto.

Henderson's vision when on the ball is second to none, and he's able to pick out a player from just about anywhere on the pitch and swiftly deliver it to their feet.

He is an asset to the side, not only because of his playmaking ability but also because he's a true leader out on the pitch, rightly deserving of the captain's armband.
