Jordan Henderson - Keep or Bin?
Jordan Henderson began the season as Liverpool’s new captain. The man to take over the mantle from Steven Gerrard and drive Liverpool on to new heights.
He ended it as an unused substitute in the Europa League final and with big question marks over his future after starting just two more games than 35-year-old Kolo Toure and Christian Benteke across the course of the campaign.
Of course injuries played their part, but it was nonetheless a disappointing season for Henderson, …
Jürgen Klopp's Midfield Unit
Hello again Anfield Index, it's been a while. Sorry I've taken some time since my last article, but apparently being in the final year of your degree is quite time-consuming. Moving on, in this piece I will be attempting to analyse what I consider the most important component of any Klopp system: the midfield. Most will tell you that Klopp's preferred shape is a 4-2-3-1, which I agree with, and I'll start by discussing what the manager tends to expect from …
Here's to You Jordan Henderson - Return of Captain Fantastic
The good news keeps on coming for Liverpool FC, Jordan Henderson has returned to training and should be available to play after the international break!
The Liverpool captain, who still divides opinion amongst fans and pundits, has been absent since August after he broke a bone in his foot during training. Before the bone break, Henderson had been in and out of the side due to a heel injury and had therefore only played two games for Liverpool this season.

The Importance Of Emre Can
Emre Can is not just a classy beast with magnificent hair or one of those people with a certain magnetic charisma about them, but he could also be a very influential player for Liverpool this season and hopefully, many more to come.
Prior to the Arsenal game, Brendan Rodgers spoke of a need to "dominate the space" and given his propensity for middle-management jargon and buzz-words, he often finds himself a target of derision when he speaks. However, Rodgers' comments proved to …
Do Liverpool Have Squad Depth in Midfield?
Much has been made this summer about Liverpool buying in bulk again. Many fans believe we now have the numbers to compete in the many competitions we'll be involved in this coming season. The question is however not 'if' Liverpool have the numbers but whether they've got the requisite quality? After all, numbers don't always indicate quality, do they?
With that in mind myself and two others, Tom Dowan and John O'Sullivan, have decided to take a look at the …
Jordan Henderson - £100k per week?
"I've got no strings to hold me down, to make me fret, or make me frown. I had strings, but now I'm free. There are no strings on me"That could well be the theme song for Liverpool's captain in waiting next season, Jordan Henderson. For well over a decade Steven Gerrard has been the cornerstone of Liverpool’s midfield. The goal scoring, match winning, tempo setting captain. He’s played infront of world class players; Didi Hamann, Xabi Alonso …
Jordan Henderson: Heir to the Throne
It was truly an exceptional captain’s performance from Jordan Henderson against Burnley.
With one rocket goal, an assist and a 92% passing accuracy, Henderson left little in doubt that leadership suits him.
And the question of the captaincy is a hot topic. ‘Captain Fantastic’ is departing and many have questioned how much of Liverpool’s soul he will take with him. More importantly, is there anyone in the Liverpool side capable of replacing him?
Well, Henderson has certainly proven there is.

Liverpool's Hinderson
First of all, excuse the awfully punned title.
Although the title is admittedly a poor play on the word ‘hinder’ and Liverpool’s vice-captain Jordan Henderson, it does hold merit. Whilst there are a multitude of tactical and structural problems with Liverpool’s team at the moment, the utilisation of Henderson is one that has fallen under the radar.
Liverpool have just come off the back of a much needed 3-1 victory away at Leicester City where coincidentally the aforementioned Henderson scored …
A Henderson-sized gap: How we've fared without him | Stats
A soul-destroying week has brought our title hopes down from cloud nine to only a slight chance of glory. The two results against Chelsea and Crystal Palace have gifted Manchester City an unbelievable chance of regaining the Premier League title - and even though we'll be cheering on Villa and West Ham like they're our own, it's going to need a miracle to get the trophy back to Anfield. Then again, we know all about them don't we?
