Jordan Henderson: 'Steven Gerrard still one of the best'

Jordan Henderson says that Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has been the unfair target of criticism this season.

Liverpool midfielder Jordan Henderson has claimed that Steven Gerrard is still one of the best players in the country.

The 34-year-old has been criticised for his displays in the early weeks of the season, but he was inspirational for his side in their 1-1 draw against Everton this weekend.

"Stevie's still one of the best players in the Premier League," the Daily Mail quotes him as saying.

"There's no doubting his quality. A lot of teams have been putting someone to man-mark him, which shows just how good he is.

"I don't think he deserves any criticism. He's been the best player this league's probably seen in a long time and still is."

Gerrard has scored three goals in seven appearances for Liverpool this season.
