Jordan Henderson scored for Liverpool against Southampton at St. Mary’s Stadium last Friday.
The former Tottenham Hotspur forward made the comments while including Henderson in his BBC Team of the Week.
The England international scored for Liverpool in their 3-1 comeback victory over Southampton away from home at St. Mary’s Stadium in the Premier League last Friday evening.
The former Sunderland star scored the Merseyside outfit’s third goal in the 86th minute after coming on as a substitute in the 59th minute in place of Trent Alexander-Arnold, according to BBC Sport.
Henderson was a key figure in Liverpool’s second-half performance, and BBC pundit Crooks believes that the 28-year-old has been harshly treated by manager Klopp.
Crooks wrote about Henderson on BBC Sport: “Captain fantastic took to the stage against Southampton and told Jurgen Klopp where he can stick his position on the bench.
“Jordan Henderson had every right to feel elated, having replaced Georginio Wijnaldum and then scored a goal to put the game well beyond the Saints.
“Personally, I think Henderson has been treated rather harshly with Klopp relegating him to substitute. But it may have just got that extra impetus out of him and taken Liverpool one step nearer to that elusive title.”
Stats
Henderson has made 16 starts and 11 substitute appearances in the Premier League for Liverpool so far this season, scoring one goal and providing one assist in the process, according to WhoScored.
Liverpool are at the top of the Premier League table at the moment with 82 points from 33 matches, two points clear of second-placed Manchester City, who have played 32 games.
