Andy Robertson names who he believes has been Liverpool’s best player this season

Reds left-back Andy Robertson believes that Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson has arguably been Jurgen Klopp’s best player this season.

Henderson, who signed for Liverpool from Sunderland back in 2011, has had a solid 2019-20 campaign for the Reds.

It has been a big six months for Henderson, who has lifted the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup.

There is also a serious possibility that Henderson could be the first Liverpool captain to lift the Premier League title, as the Reds possess a 16-point lead at the top of the table with a game in hand.

Robertson believes that there is an argument to be made that Henderson has been Liverpool’s best player this season.

“Hendo, for me, this season has been different class. He’s been one of, if not our best player this season,” Robertson told the club’s official website.

“Sometimes over the years Hendo’s not got the credit that he deserves. But when you play with him, you train with him and see the way he acts off the field, it’s an absolute pleasure [for him] to be my captain and everyone’s captain.

“For us, he’s now getting the credit that he deserves and that’s what it’s all about for us because he’s getting the recognition that his performances deserve.

“His all-round play the past couple of months has been second to none and he’s really driving us forward to the position we are in now.”

Robertson does make a fair point. Henderson has been sensational, but he does not always get the credit he deserves.

Henderson is by no means a superstar, but he deserves more respect than what people give him.

His passing range, alongside his ability to run, remain his greatest strengths as a player. He is also very versatile as a player. However, many simply ignore that he has quality.
