Klopp’s view all that matters, Jordan

I WAS a bit disappointed to see Jordan Henderson say last weekend that he felt he’d been through adversity during his Liverpool career, with people doubting him and wanting him out of the club from day one. At 32, Henderson should be a good 10 years past worrying about what people think of him. He’s had a fantastic career. He’s captain of one of the greatest clubs in the world — and what an honour that is. He’s also about to play for

England in a World Cup. He’s been a very lucky boy. You’ve got to have a thick skin to be an elite athlete. Doubters are just something you have to deal with. I don’t think Jordan will be getting much sympathy from any quarter, given the lifestyle that football affords him, after more than a decade as a Premier League player. The only opinions he has to be concerned about are those of his manager Jurgen Klopp and the Liverpool coaching team.
