Henderson lauds Liverpool boss for tactical acumen

Liverpool midfielder Jordan Henderson feels he has become a better player under boss Brendan Rodgers. "I think I've improved tactically and it's really helped channel my energy into the right direction," the 23 year old told Liverpool's official website.

"I've always been pretty fit and wanting to close and chase down, but I think you've got to pick your moments and the time to do that.

"It's no good just running all over the shop and being out of position, which maybe a few years ago, when I look back, I was probably doing that. That's just enthusiasm, energy and wanting to do the right things.

"The manager has really helped me to channel that and focus on certain things. It's really helped."
