Jordan Henderson did his reputation plenty of good during England’s two Euros Qualifiers this international break.
He played the whole 90 against Czech Republic on Friday in the 5-0 win and came off the bench to put in a mightily impressive cameo last night in a 5-1 battering of Montenegro.

He usually trends for all the wrong reasons when England are playing, with brainless fans declaring him useless – due to their inability to watch a football match properly.
Hendo isn’t world-class, but he’s top notch – proven by the fact that two of the game’s most forward thinking managers right now – Jurgen Klopp and Gareth Southgate – rate him so highly.
Both Liverpool fans and neutrals lauded him yesterday evening, when in 26 minutes, he was involved in two goals – including a mesmeric assist for Raheem Sterling, his former Liverpool team-mate.
Interestingly, he’s played in a more advanced role than he usually does for us – and we reckon that’s where he could start on Sunday, on the right side of Fabinho, with Gini Wijnaldum on the left.
