CL: Skipper Jordan Henderson hails Liverpool's 5-0 win vs Porto

Jordan Henderson

Captain Jordan Henderson insists Liverpool are greater than the sum of their parts and that is why they can absorb the loss of Philippe Coutinho. So far Jurgen Klopp's side have not truly missed the Brazil international since his £142million January move to Barcelona. There may come a time when that is not true but his departure is certainly being made easier by the individual and collective brilliance of 30-goal Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane.

"We still have a lot of quality players like Salah, Mane and Firmino who created chances," said Henderson after the 5-0 win in Porto which virtually guarantees them a Champions League quarter-final place. "We knew we would create chances but it was about the team. It was a team performance. I thought we started the game really well, very aggressive, very brave. We pressed up high to get the ball back. "We defended well and we were clinical as well."
