Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson’s relentlessness is often something that has been highlighted in discussions about the midfielder.
The Reds skipper demands the best from his teammates and from himself and has become an inspirational figure at Liverpool as he has surpassed a decade at the club.
Henderson’s former Sunderland teammate, Nedum Onuoha, has highlighted just how annoying Liverpool’s captain can be on the field as he barks out orders and “doesn’t shut up.”

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is the driving force for the Reds on the touchline and it can be said that Henderson is the replica of his manager but on the pitch.
Onuoha told BBC Sport: “Having played with Jordan Henderson and seen him up close and watched him, he just doesn’t shut up.
“It can be really annoying, you’d much rather play with him than against him.
“Some people will say he hasn’t got this or he hasn’t got that, but I guarantee he’s going to be relentless and he will affect the game.
“He’ll always say ‘there’s a man,’ or ‘turn,’ or ‘that’s great,’ ‘that’s not great.’
“To sum it up, when they beat Man United a few weeks ago, it could have been so easy for Liverpool to ease up, but he was one of the people that made sure the standard stayed the same.
“He made sure they kept that clean sheet and didn’t give the ball away.”
The standards of Henderson have been key to Liverpool lifting the Champions League and the Premier League in recent years as he has not allowed his teammates to be complacent for one second.
