Henderson: I can do better
Jordan Henderson reflected on the start to his Anfield career and declared: 'I can do a lot better.'
The 21-year-old guided home his first Liverpool goal in our 3-1 win over Bolton on Saturday and scooped the Liverpoolfc.tv journalists' man of the match.
Afterwards he told us: "Scoring for Liverpool, especially your first goal, means a lot - you could see that from my celebration. But the main thing was the team performance. I thought we were brilliant throughout the game.
"I've worked hard and got my head down but I think I can do a lot better, I think there's still a lot more to come. I just need to focus on what I need to do, keep working hard in training and hopefully that will come through on the pitch like it did today."
Henderson admits the quality of Liverpool's play this early in the season has surpassed expectations, with Kenny Dalglish's new signings apparently requiring no time to settle.
He said: "A lot of players have bedded in well, like Charlie, and Jose and Stewie on the left-hand side have been brilliant.
"We're playing some good stuff at the minute, we've been working hard on the training pitch and it came off today. We just need to carry on doing that, carry on working hard and hopefully we can keep performing like that."
Jordan's delight at first LFC goal
Henderson will now depart for England U21 duty, and will hope to catch senior boss Fabio Capello's eye during games against Azerbaijan and Israel.
"I'm over the moon to be in the U21 squad," said the midfielder, who has one full cap on his CV. "There are some great players there.
"Obviously I want to push on and get in the senior squad. I just need to keep working hard and keep doing my job for Liverpool, and hopefully the senior call will come."
