Aaron Ramsdale has claimed that Jordan Henderson is “suitably underrated” and “disrespected” for the things he doesn’t do on the field.
The Liverpool captain may now be 32 and starting to show signs of aging, but since his arrival from Sunderland in 2011, the England international has lifted every major trophie possible for the Anfield side.
Kopites may be calling for new midfielders to be signed in the coming months, but the Arsenal keeper jumped into the defense of the Reds captain.
“He’s disrespected because he doesn’t touch on all the good stuff,” he told The Fellas podcast (via Rousing The Kop). “He runs like 12 km a game, the way he talks to people on the field.

“The things he does, he’ll play an amazing pass or cross, but it won’t really be talked about because he’s probably only done it once in the game. He is rightly underrated in England by the fans, not the players.
“They love it.”
Henderson has grown used to criticism.
After joining Liverpool and then replacing Steven Gerard as club captain in 2015, he has constantly had to prove people wrong and show why he deserves to be a regular starter for club and country.
The intensity he brings and the standards he sets among his teammates on and off the pitch is what makes him a true leader.
He may no longer bring as much energy to the team as he once did, but he is still a vital player for Jurgen Klopp’s side and we are sure we will see the famous Hendo shuffle several more times in the coming years. .
