Brentford midfielder Jordan Henderson has backed former employers Liverpool to find a way out of their slump sooner rather than later.
The elation of a midweek victory over Eintracht Frankfurt has disappeared inside Liverpool after Saturday’s 3–2 defeat at the hands of Brentford saw them record a fourth consecutive Premier League loss.
After what was his first meeting with Liverpool since leaving the club in 2023, former Reds captain Henderson urged fans to stick behind Arne Slot’s side on their search for a solution.
“You look all over the pitch, there’s not much to go at, they’re all quality players,” he said. “I don’t really see a weakness in the team.
“I know there’s been results of late that haven’t been great for them but, for me, they’re still top players and a top, top team and it’s a matter of time before they get in a rhythm and get going.
“I think there’s been reasons why they haven’t hit the heights from last season but they’re still a world-class team and wherever you look on the pitch there’s world-class players, so it’s always going to be difficult but I thought the [Brentford] lads dug deep, stuck together and caused some problems on the counter.”
