WATCH: Jordan Henderson With a Cross-Field Pass to Rival Paul Pogba’s

Why's the Liverpool captain not getting as much praise for his effort?

Jordan Henderson will probably feel aggrieved that he's not getting the love Paul Pogba got for his brilliant cross-field pass against Sunderland on Boxing Day.

The Manchester United midfielder produced another much-improved performance as Jose Mourinho's side beat Sunderland 3-1 at Old Trafford.

He laid on a goal for Zlatan Ibrahimovic and generally ran the show as United won their fifth game on the bounce and continued an 11-game unbeaten streak.

And it's this cross-field ball that is earning Pogba a lot of praise from fans making comparisons to Paul Scholes:


Fair enough - that is different class.

But should Henderson be getting just as much praise for his wonderful cross-field pass during Liverpool's 4-1 victory over Stoke at Anfield yesterday?


He's under a lot more pressure, can hardly see Nathaniel Clyne and hits the ball on the half-volley - that's a bit more difficult in our book.

Although, probably best off not trying too many no look passes just yet, eh Jordan?


So, while Pogba gets some viral praise from fans all over social media, maybe Henderson should too.
