Steven Gerrard played with Jordan Henderson, and thinks the midfielder deserves a bit more respect.
A lot of people thought the 36 year old was just going to be a cheerleader for Chelsea, but he showed with two goals and a great performance against Bournemouth on Saturday that he still has a lot to give.
“That [squad player label] will be annoying him. I think it’s slightly disrespectful to just call someone a squad player who’s had that career and is still capable of that type of contribution,” Gerrard said while working as a pundit.
“The reality is, he’s not going to play every game. There’s probably a bit more of a respectful way, as a journalist, you could put that across to Jordan, I would say.”

It echoes what we heard from Morgan Rogers after the game:
“People forget about the football because they just think he’s that experienced head, but don’t get me wrong, the guy can still play football.
“He’s won everything in the game. You saw his quality there and we’ll see it for the rest of the season, I’m sure.”
