“not good enough” Liverpool fans point out worrying star midfielder statistics in the 1-0 win over Burnley

Liverpool midfielder, Jordan Henderson endured a disappointing outing in the club’s narrow 1-0 win over Burnley on Sunday afternoon.

Many Reds have shown concern about his lack of accuracy on the ball lasting nearly an hour on the pitch.

Following a recovering from a back injury that ruled him out of the 2-0 win over Leicester in midweek, Jurgen Klopp vowed that, if fit, Henderson would start at Burnley.

The England international was part of a three-man midfield for the Reds alongside Fabinho and Naby Keita.

However, Henderson struggled to exact himself in a physical collision, and most worrisome was his inability to find a teammate with his passes, the captain completing only 50 percent of his attempts.

Fabinho (83.1%) and Keita (90.1%) were considerably more accurate on the ball, as was Thiago (82.4%) who replaced Henderson in the 58th minute to allow Liverpool to regain control of the game.

It was an unusual display from the skipper, but many supporters are now beginning to worry about the long-term effects of this drop in form.

Not sure what’s happened Hendo but if u lose the ball 50% of the time it’s clearly not good enough for our midfield! We played better when Thiago came on because he was composed on the ball!! Keita Hendo comparisons pic.twitter.com/6hNOGUm8P7

I don’t think Henderson should be starting when everyone is fit. It has been a recurring theme this season and it was quite clear here he just physically and technically struggled.

This is the worst I’ve seen. Lost possession 24 times out of 48 touches. Completed 18/36 passes pic.twitter.com/OpQChZqWWR

Yowzers….. Hendo gave the ball away with 25 of 48 touches!!

Fuck me

That is the 5th time this season he has >60% rate of ball retention

This is very un-Hendo

When do we begin to worry?

You can tell the difference in class when Thiago came on for Henderson.

Henderson looks goosed physcially. It’s like watching the last remnants of Lucas Leiva. Grim

The 31-year-old was recently rewarded with a new four-year contract at Anfield amid interest from Atletico Madrid and PSG.

on a good day, Henderson is one player any team will desire to have in their squad, hopefully, he rediscovers the form that made him outstanding.
