Liverpool midfielder Jordan Henderson is yet to score this season.

Liverpool ace Jordan Henderson was only named on England’s bench last night against Montenegro.

The sad element for Henderson was that it was not a surprise.

Henderson is no longer a regular starter for Liverpool either.

Of a possible 31 Premier League games this season, Henderson has only started in 15.

The sad part for Henderson is that he was a better player under Brendan Rodgers than he is under Jurgen Klopp.

Under Rodgers he started over 30 games twice in a season, something he is yet to do once for Klopp.

Henderson’s attacking output has also disappeared since Klopp has taken charge.

In 2014/15 Henderson scored six times and provided nine assists. He netted four and set up seven the previous season.

Since then under Klopp, Henderson has scored four goals and provided three assists in three seasons combined.

This year he has no goals, and no assists. Some Liverpool fans have even been joking that Steven Gerrard has more after his strike in the legends game at the weekend.

Henderson’s game is about more than goals, but they help.

The 28-year-old needs to get back to showing the creative side of his game. Without Steven Gerrard alongside him, it isn’t so easy.
