Liverpool 0-0 Manchester City: 4 men who dominated the game for the Reds

#1 Jordan Henderson

Liverpool FC v Manchester City - Premier League

The Liverpool Skipper had a massive game, as he orchestrated proceedings from the middle of the park. The Englishman was everywhere in the pitch it seemed, he was defending, he was initiating attacks, and he was making sure that his team were on their toes against a talented City side.

In the middle, his presence and positioning gave the Manchester City midfield a lot of headaches. His passing was good and he continuously initiated attacks and spread the ball to the wings with ease. However, it was when Liverpool lost the ball that Henderson showed his mettle.

He played like a man possessed, desperate to win the ball back, making interceptions, helping out his defenders and ensuring that the Manchester City midfield were ineffective. He was a bundle of energy all through the game and looked every bit like the Skipper Liverpool needed in this game.

Against City, Henderson covered the whole of Anfield and did so repeatedly. He always looked like he could make things happen. In the end, he was Liverpool’s main man and he was monumental in ensuring that Liverpool continued to be league leaders.
