‘Gerrard comparisons were unfair for Henderson’ – Liverpool captain now ‘complete midfielder’, says Murphy

The former Reds star is a big fan of the man currently skippering the side, with his value sometimes lost on those who cannot see the bigger picture

Jordan Henderson has become the “complete midfielder”, says Danny Murphy, with the Liverpool captain having proved his worth on the back of “unfair” comparisons to Steven Gerrard.

The hard-working midfielder arrived at Anfield in 2011 when a Reds legend was at the peak of his powers.

He was forced to operate in Gerrard’s shadow before eventually inheriting the armband when the former England skipper headed to MLS with the LA Galaxy.
