Jurgen Klopp criticized for his treatment  of skipper Jordan Henderson

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has been criticized for his treatment  of Jordan Henderson  after he was dropped to the bench for the trip to Southampton on Friday. Henderson made a real impact at St. Mary's and scored his side's third goal to secure a vital three points in their push for the Premier League title. But BBC pundit Garth Crooks has suggested it was unfair of Klopp to drop his captain in the first place. "Captain fantastic took to the stage against Southampton and told Jurgen Klopp where he can stick his position on the bench," he writes in his BBC Team of the Week. "Jordan Henderson had every right to feel elated, having replaced Georginio Wijnaldum and then scored a goal to put the game well beyond the Saints. "Personally, I think Henderson has been treated rather harshly with Klopp relegating him to substitute. "But it may have just got that extra impetus out of him and taken Liverpool one step nearer to that elusive title." That victory put Liverpool two points clear of the champions with five matches to play, although City still have a game in hand.
