Henderson: We have to keep momentum going.
Jordan Henderson insists they need to keep the momentum going and claims they will be ready for the Merseyside derby.
Liverpool midfielder Jordan Henderson says his side needs to keep the winning momentum going as the game keep coming.
The England international was involved in the 4-0 victory over Southampton in the Premier League at Anfield.
Henderson claims the performance level has been high but insists the most important thing is to be consistent.
On team consistency.
“The performance level has been really high over the last few games, defending as a team properly, a threat going forward, some good football at times.
“So overall, we’re in a good moment but we need to continue that. I know how quickly football can change, so you’ve got to keep that momentum going, keep that consistency going and we’ve got a big game next as well, so that’s important.
“The overall performance, a clean sheet is important, four goals, always nice. Overall, very pleased. We started the game well, got the early goal, which helped, and then went on from there and scored a few more. So overall, I think we’ve got to be very pleased.
“Keeping clean sheets, I think that’s the most important thing. If we can keep defending well, keep clean sheets, we’re always going to be good going forward and we’re always going to create opportunities, so I think that’s something that we want to keep with, keep enjoying them clean sheets and then obviously the goals as well.”
The Reds will visit Everton next week in the Premier League in the Merseyside derby as Henderson believes it’s going to be a tough match.
He added if they keep on the consistency they have a good chance of winning the game against Everton.
“The derby is always intense away at Goodison. It’ll be a tough game and anything can happen in a derby. So we’ve just got to be ready as we always are, give absolutely everything and keep the consistency going, the performance level. If we do that then we’re going to have a good chance of winning.”
