As Jordan Henderson moves seamlessly from defensive midfield to a more advanced role, I look to do similar by taking up the 'Man of the Match' element of this week's post-match work, rotating my 'Virgil Van Dijk (8): What a lovely beard he has' player rating duties to the lovely Aaditya Narayan.

Jordan Henderson and Naby Keita have felt like two sparkling new signings over the past week.

Roberto Firmino – Stepping Up At The Right Time

Over the international break, I wrote this article about Roberto Firmino.
