We’ll keep hammer down says Henderson

JORDAN HENDERSON claims Liverpool need to keep winning trophies to be remembered as a truly great side.

Henderson is not satisfied by Liverpool’s haul of the Champions League, Premier League, FIFA Club World Cup and UEFA Super Cup from the past 15 months and is hungry for more.

Liverpool’s fabled sides of the Sixties, Seventies and Eighties won European Cups, league titles, FA Cups and League Cups by the lorryload and Henderson knows Jurgen Klopp’s current team cannot stop.

“I still feel as though there’s a lot more to come from all of us and if we want to be one of the best teams, then you need to do it consistently,” said the Football Writers’ Footballer of the Year.

“You can’t just do it for a few years and then that’s it. You need to keep going and going and going. I look at what a lot of ex-players who have won trophies have said that it’s hard to win one, but then it’s even harder to then win another and another and keep going.

“I can see that and we understand that. It’s about doing what we’ve been doing for a long period of time and focusing on the right things, not getting carried away and not getting too down.”

Liverpool’s success over the past 15 months is already history for Henderson, right, and his focus is on helping the Reds improve. Despite their massive haul of 99 points to claim the Premier League, he insists they can still do better.

“What’s happened in the past is incredible, but it’s the past,” said the England midfielder.

“You’ve always got to focus on what’s in front of you and that’s the most important thing.

“So it’s about improving, it’s about being better and you can’t have any limits on that.

“We’ve definitely got that mentality within this dressing room.”
