This is the Ali La Rouge Podcast on the Blood Red channel, bringing you the view from the

terraces at Liverpool FC.

Welcome to another Ali La Rouge. I'm joined by regular guest John Nicholson.

The other labs have had a summer layoff at the moment.

And also joined by Spits of Shankantychair Joe Bloss and journalist Steph Jones.

So there's been a couple of weeks since the end of the season and Jordan Henderson's been making all the back pages this week for various reasons.

But it's been 10 years since he arrived from Sunderland.

He was bought for $16 million in June 2011 and poor Gorse wrote in the echou this week that he should be regarded

as one of the greatest club captains we've ever had. So John, would you put them up there with one of the

greatest club captains Liverpool have had? I would now, yeah. I think he's been brilliant I must have made him when he first came I wasn't sure whether he was just a good average player if you like who needed to play out of his skin in every game, you know, because he wasn't quite there, but maybe, maybe, because I did think this at the time.

Maybe he lived in Stephen Gerard's shadow a little bit.

You know, initially, like a lot of players did,

by the way, you know know would often give the ball to

Gerald you get us out of jail because you can but but as he's come on in his own

right Jordan Anderson I think he's been brilliant. Yeah.

And we really miss them.

Going back to when we missed out on the league that year,

if you've just been in the team,

because I think you got the band didn't you have to at the end of the man city game I think

When you got did he get sense off or yeah?

Yeah, so I can't remember the straight red or two yellers or whatever but he then missed some games didn't he?

And I think if we'd have had them it might have made the difference.
