Brendan Rodgers credits Kenny Dalglish for Jordan Henderson form

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers credits Kenny Dalglish for having the foresight to sign Jordan Henderson in 2011.

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has credited former boss Kenny Dalglish following Jordan Henderson's fine form this season.

Henderson, who was signed for £16m by Dalglish in 2011, has flourished this season, and the Reds coach has claimed that the Anfield legend deserves a pat on the back for having the foresight bring the former England Under-21 captain to Anfield.

Rodgers told talkSPORT: "It's a great credit to Kenny [Dalglish]. Everyone talked about Jordan Henderson coming in and the money that was spent on him. When you come into Liverpool, it takes you a year just to adapt.

"He has been absolutely outstanding in my time here, a great boy as well and wants to learn. You saw his performance.

"You looked at Jordan - a few times he was really organising and encouraging, and getting into one or two of his teammates as well. That's the leadership that you want."

The 23-year-old was impressive for the Reds as they beat Tottenham Hotspur 5-0 on Sunday.
