Henderson: Liverpool are ready for Southampton opener

Liverpool midfielder Jordan Henderson says they're ready for their Premier League opener against Southampton.

The Reds are buzzing after their thrashing of Borussia Dortmund on Saturday.

"I felt we played very well throughout the game," the No.14 told Liverpoolfc.com after the final whistle at Anfield. "It was a good way to end pre-season and get ready for next week.

"Everybody is happy and hopefully we can continue that going into the game against Southampton. Most of our games in pre-season have been against top opposition, Champions League teams.

"Now we're ready for the real test next week. We're improving all the time. We continue to work hard and work on different things.

"We've got a young team that is developing very well and we've got a lot of experience despite being so young. Hopefully that will stand us in good stead for the season."
