    Hell, Gerrard could fill in at DM but it was clear it wasn't his best ever position.
    All true.. and in that regard over the duration of his near 9 years at the club he has been played in all of those roles.

    As for 2014 - Let’s be honest here Victor Moses looked a world beater in that team. Sturridge - Suarez - Sterling - Coutinho plus Stevie G... Fook me that’s some weaponry..

    Don’t forget - we even had the Welsh Xavi..

    Come on Steveo, we've had this debate before - Hendo was no loess instrumental in that team than Coutinho and at worst marginally less so than Sterling.

    Of course it's easier to thrive in a good team, but let's not take away what's due.

    Not really debating Coutinho vs Henderson mate - just suggesting Coutinho was part of a formidable attack even though he started that season with just 13 premier league games after switching in January of that year from Inter Milan.

    No doubt playing with both Suarez and Sturridge in deadly form in attack - helped him a ton too.

    Stevie Gerrard was also superb at DM to be fair.

    His celebration against Spurs could be an ad against Erectile Dysfunction at least.

    Is that the one where he slides towards the camera with his legs apart?

    I guess he took Rodgers a little too literally when he said - just go out there and "enjoy" yourself..

    I recall being absolutely gutted when Henderson got the late red card against city in 2014. It meant he missed 3 of the last 4 games that season. It was a massive blow. He had a huge influence that season.
    I bet you can squeal like a pig!

    He was superb mate - but so were many players including this little chap. Imagine if he was an England international..
