JORDAN HENDERSON must find the net on a more regular basis if he wants to hold down a place in Liverpool’s midfield, according to Didi Hamann.

The 22-year-old impressed on his return to the side last Saturday as his sweetly-struck half-volley put the Reds on course for an emphatic 5-0 victory over Norwich City.

However, it was only Henderson’s fourth goal in 74 appearances for the club and former Kop favourite Hamann says that strike-rate needs to improve.

“There’s no doubt that Henderson has ability but it’s a case of transfering that on to the pitch,” Hamann said.

“He’s got a great engine and is a decent passer of the ball but if he wants to keep his place then he needs to add goals to his game.

“We have been lacking goals from midfield this season. Steven Gerrard has got a few but no-one else in midfield has been scoring.

“With the way Liverpool will play now with Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge up front there are three places behind them in midfield.

“Stevie will start and so will Lucas who has been playing well since he came back from injury. If Henderson wants to hold down that other spot then he needs to be contributing more often.

“He should take a lot of confidence from that goal against Norwich as it was a tremendous strike. I hope he builds on that now.”
