Jordan Henderson’s absence could be the most damaging of all

With Philippe Coutinho’s magic up front winning numerous games and Joel Matip’s superb defensive record turning the Reds’ backline around this season, Liverpool fans could be forgiven for being less concerned about the absence of their captain Jordan Henderson.

The Sunderland youth product was replaced by Emre Can in the starting line-up, with Lucas Leiva also coming on as a substitute to fill the holding midfield role but neither enjoyed their afternoon in the north east.

Can was in for a torrid afternoon were nothing quite came off, and whilst Lucas broke up the play he struggled with the pace of Sunderland’s counter attack at times. What was clear was that neither is capable of the all round displays that Jordan Henderson has been producing.
