Liverpool fans were going nuts that Jordan Henderson was captain; I was defending him constantly."It was right that he was captain, a brilliant captain, been a brilliant player for Liverpool. I still don't think he should have left Liverpool; he should still be at Liverpool now."I think he made a big mistake leaving Liverpool, he missed out on another league title, obviously went to Saudi Arabia, Ajax and is at Brentford.

He shouldn't have left Liverpool; it was a mistake. It was because Jurgen Klopp said he was bringing midfield players in, and he said he wasn't going to play every week."What Endo has done at Liverpool, Jordan Henderson is a better player; he could have done that, and he'd have picked another league title up.

He revealed: "It was a really tough period when I left Liverpool. It was just difficult, and I think if you asked a lot of players when they left a club, not just Liverpool, but when you have been at a club for so long, and you have that attachment to them, whether you retire or move on."I think for a period of time that was hard, but within time things change; you move on, but I would say that was probably the most difficult time."
