Liverpool captain Henderson: We must be positive about Chelsea draw

Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson says they can be proud of their point at managerless Chelsea.

Henderson insists the players showed the right attitude in the stalemate.

He said, "Tough game, both sides not at the highest level at the minute. We made a fight of it. You could see the willingness to keep running and keep working. The last pass and last shot wasn't quite there, but we have to take the point and move on.

"They've got some good players with individual quality and we kept digging in. We had to show fight really. Yeah it's hard to judge it straight after the game but it was a positive to work for each other. We lacked quality in the final third.

"A clean sheet away at Chelsea is never easy. We've got to take that positive and try to work and try to build and finish goals off. The inconsistency of the season hasn't helped us, you've just got to keep working and stay together as a group. At the end you've got to dig in. We got a point today. On another day you might miss it. That's football at the end of the day. You keep working and we have to see where it takes us come the end of the season.

"There's been flashes of brilliance over the season but not enough consistency. There's lots of reasons for that. What's important is that you stay together, you stay positive. We've got to keep fighting until the end. That's the aim and that's the plan and it all starts off with the basis of the attitude and desire. It's another opportunity to try and show the brilliance again on Sunday at Anfield."
