Former Fleetwood Town boss Joey Barton has dismissed Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson.

As far as Barton is concerned, despite Henderson leading the Reds to a first title in 30 years, something Steven Gerrard never achieved, he is adamant they are 'not even part of the same conversation'.

He told Robbie Fowler's podcast: “I've played against Jordan loads of times.

"He's done incredible, but he wasn't Stevie Gerrard.

“He's not even in the same stratosphere as Stevie Gerrard, but will be talked about as a Liverpool great for what he's done."

He added: “I've actually played against both of them. Not even part of the same conversation.

“But in 20 years time my kids will talk about Henderson and say 'well Henderson won a European cup as well, Henderson won a league'.

“There should be no comparison."
