Henderson targets sense of adventure

Liverpool midfielder Jordan Henderson believes he needs to be more adventurous as he seeks to continually improve his game.

The 21-year-old clinched a big-money transfer from Sunderland to Anfield in the off-season and has since played in all 10 English Premier League games for Kenny Dalglish’s side, scoring one goal in the process.

But the England Under-21 captain believes he has been playing it safe for too long, and now hopes to improve his game and play a more attacking brand of football.

“Sometimes I can be a little bit cautious in keeping the ball, playing a safe pass rather than an adventurous one,” Henderson told The Sunday Express.

“Maybe I need to take more risks going forward. I need to look for runners and give the ball more quickly.”

“It is those little balls through that create chances I need to improve on.”

“I know with hard work and listening to the coaches at Liverpool I will certainly get better.”
