Liverpool boss Rodgers: Henderson outstanding young player

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers is delighted with the current form of Jordan Henderson.

Rodgers believes fans are now starting to realise what an asset he is and will be.

He said: "He's an outstanding young player. I think he is going to be a top player over many years for Liverpool.

"He will be an unsung hero. He is one of those guys who does a lot of work and over time, supporters will really appreciate and I think that's what's happening now.

"I have been really impressed. Tactically his understanding of the game is improving - you see the composure he is playing with now.

"He has got great physicality. His stature - he's a big boy, he can run, he has got legs and he presses the ball well. As I say, he has composure on the ball and at 23 years of age, all the best years ahead of him.

"He has shown now that he has got the real temperament to play at a big club and the quality, so he is going to be a very important player for us for now and for the future."
