Liverpool midfielder Jordan Henderson is enjoying his leadership role this season.
Brendan Rodgers has spoken glowingly of the 24-year-old's growing leadership skills and the player himself feels there is extra onus on him to stand up for his team-mates having been made Steven Gerrard's deputy earlier this season.
"I feel I have to take a bit more responsibility on and off the field to especially help the younger players coming through as I've been through the same sort of thing - but that goes for all the experienced players in the team," he said.
"There have been some tough times but we have dug in, stuck together as a team and we have come out the other side in the last month or two and been much better so hopefully we can keep going from strength to strength."
