Henderson: ‘I’ve improved in short space of time’

Jordan Henderson says he is enjoying his football this season, claiming is game is “heading in the right direction”.

The in-form midfielder is hoping to line up for England on Saturday against Malta – an experience he insists is just as enjoyable as playing for the Reds.

Jurgen Klopp’s men sit fourth in the Premier League after an impressive start to the season, __with Henderson flourishing in a deeper midfield role after regaining full fitness. He is definitely one of five Liverpool players to have benefited over the last year under Jurgen Klopp.

“I have been enjoying it,” he said.

“It is not too much different, just a little bit more disciplined in terms of defensive duties. I have to think about protecting the team more now.

“But I have been enjoying it, I feel as though I have improved in that position over a short space of time and I am learning from the manager and all his staff.

“I feel as if I am going in the right direction __with it. I just need to continue with it.”
