JAMIE REDKNAPP: You can count on captain Jordan Henderson at Liverpool

Jordan Henderson who took over Steven Gerrard's captain was there with the toughest jobs in football. It was as if he was in charge of Sir Alex Ferguson as manager of Manchester United .

You don't want to follow the man. You want to follow the man who followed the man.

I know what the pressure is to pull on that bracelet. Many people see the letter & # 39; C & # 39; next to a name on the team magazine and don't think about it. You do that if you are the captain of Liverpool football club, believe me.

Jordan Henderson captured Liverpool for the 100th time in victory against Arsenal

When you walk away as the skipper in Anfield, you think of the players from the past who played the same role.

You think of Graham Souness, Phil Thompson, Alan Hansen and more. You think about what they did as captains and what you could do. So many greats wore this bracelet for Liverpool … can I do it justice?

I am sure Henderson would have thought the same thing. He will not be called lightly as the new leader of this club, especially after taking over a legend like Gerrard.

The former Sunderland man has dealt very well with high levels of pressure and expectation

Henderson was under pressure. There was expectation in the midfielder England, and he sometimes got a lot of stick. He had his haters, but he has silenced them all.

The 29-year-old from Sunderland became a centurion on Saturday afternoon. That was the 100th time he ran away as Liverpool's captain in the Premier League.

I never looked at my former side and left because I thought Henderson didn't have a good shot. At least he switches. You can always count on him to give everything.

He does not have Gerrard's X-factor in midfield, but who does? It was unique of its kind. But Henderson is still worth his weight in gold for what he offers Liverpool, both on and off the field. He does what he does brilliantly. He is not a flash, he is not flamboyant. He is just doing his job.

In club legend Steven Gerrard Henderson had impossible footsteps to follow in

There were always gets questions from Henderson when he became captain. & # 39; But he is not Gerrard, & # 39; you would hear people say, and that's fine. That is their privilege.

But nobody will ever replace Gerrard. How do you follow the King of the Kop? Henderson took on the most difficult tasks when he was handed the Armband in the Anfield club, and we can't do anything about his efforts.

On June 1, he won the Champions League in Madrid after his team beat Tottenham. He only saw him as the fifth Liverpool captain to lift the European cup, following Emlyn Hughes, Thompson, Souness and his predecessor Gerrard.

Now he wants to be his first captain to win the Premier League.

I felt that there was a major exaggerated response to Paul Pogba's missed punishment against Wolves last week. I shared changing rooms with many players who didn't want to take penalties.

Pogba had the courage to take one, and Rui Patricio produced a great rescue. On Old Trafford on Saturday, Marcus Rashford took one, hit the post and Manchester United lost 2-1 to Crystal Palace. It happens.

United States must now jump back, and what I want to see from Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is some leadership.

I have the feeling that the club has been missing lately. I would like Solskjaer to become tough in public when discussing his players – not to the same extent as Jose Mourinho, but just enough to let them know who's in charge.

Every time I look at Liverpool and Manchester City, I am amazed by the determination of their forward players to win high on the field.

Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino do not stop working for each other, and none of Sergio Aguero, Raheem Sterling and Bernardo Silva.

Their pursuit is contagious and stimulates the rest of the team.

Let's honor Frank Lampard for the way he secured his first Premier League victory as a manager at Norwich.

There was pressure on his side to win, but Lampard had the courage to start Tammy Abraham at the front and his courage was rewarded when the 21-year-old scored two goals.

Abraham is not the finished article. I think he should be more dirty and a master of dark art like Diego Costa. Then maybe the shirt No. 9 for him in the near future.

Wesley and Haller keep silent the doubters

I'm tired of seeing strikers written off after one or two trips. We have to give them time. In the past, we would have to wait 10 games to properly judge a player. That is why I am pleased that two strikers in particular have shown what they are talking about this weekend to silence the critics.

One was Wesley from Aston Villa, for £ 22 million purchase from Bruges, the other Sebastien Haller from West Ham. £ 45 million purchase at Eintracht Frankfurt. Neither of them had played in the Premier League, but both led the way and scored.

Against Everton on Friday, Wesley made a well-timed run behind the back line before the song slid past Jordan Pickford. Haller scored twice at Watford on Saturday, one tap-in, the other an overhead kick.

They did their job and led their teams to their first victories of the season. Now let's get off their back and see how they progress.
