The likes of Thiago, Gini, Mane, Salah, and yes Alisson Becker - who also chipped in with as many goals in that period as our captain has managed in 4 years of Champions League football.
We all know that Henderson has BECOME a great leader - and I say 'become' because he was nowhere at all as a captain - prior to that epic 2018/19 season.
Much revisionism taking place here.
Hendo has become a captain different from that which Gerrard was - to say he is a better captain is a personal opinion and one which clings solely to the brilliant performance of the entire team in 2019 and 2020.
Playing for a better manager and in a better team does not make you a better captain.
