Jordan the leader

Adam Lallana has credited Joprdan Henderson with turning around the Liverpool team's morale ahead of Saturday's win over Spurs.

“Every now and again, it doesn’t hurt to speak about it. If anyone has anything to say — as long as it’s not personal, just professional — there is no harm to remind each other of what we need to do," said Lallana after the 2-0 win.

“You saw everyone was fighting for each other. We were backs against the wall, we hadn’t won in January in the league. So big credit to Jordan. He wanted it to happen. It wasn’t just him who spoke, the senior players spoke, the non-senior players, everyone. It was good, refreshing.

“It was a very open meeting and I came out of it knowing that every one of those players are together and intent on turning things around as quickly as possible. Almost an ‘us against the world’ type of attitude and we will do anything for each other, work our socks off, for it to change as quickly as possible.

“We knew things would change, it was just a matter of time, but it was up to us to show when it would change.”
