Jordan Henderson: “It’s disappointing, but the fact that we didn’t lose the game is the biggest part.”

On Saturday afternoon, Jürgen Klopp’s team earned a point in the nation’s capital to start the 2022–23 Premier League season.

Aleksandar Mitrovic scored twice to give the Reds leads at Craven Cottage, but they rallied to earn a point on both occasions.

Darwin Nunez made his league debut with a goal from the bench, Mohamed Salah struck from the penalty spot with 10 minutes left.

Following a 2-2 draw with Fulham on the first day of the season, Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson feels the Reds still have work to do.

Upon being asked if he was disappointed in a draw, Henderson responded,“Yes, I think so”.

“Disappointing, but probably the best thing is we didn’t lose the game”.

“We had a couple of chances at the end to win, but overall I think we can play a lot better than we were today”.

“So yeah, overall, disappointed with the result and the performance.”

“We knew it would be tough before the game, [against] a newly promoted side.”We knew it would be a tough game, so there’s no excuses from us”.

“I felt as though we looked a little bit lethargic at times, we didn’t play the way we normally do, and you get punished in the Premier League”.

The only positive is we reacted in the right way, especially second half, [we] created a few more chances and possibly could have nicked it. But I think a fair result was a draw”

Speaking on how the game was affected by the second-half substitutions.

“I think they made a big impact when they came on, all the subs, so that was a big plus for us, I suppose. They made a big impact in the game.” “Darwin scored and we could have had one or two more. [There’s] a lot to work on, I know it’s only the first day of the season but I think we wanted to start a lot better than that.”

“But there’s still a long way to go and we need to improve quickly. We’ve got a decent seven or eight days now to prepare for the next game, so we need to use that as much as we can”.

“When it was rolling, I felt as though I had a sniff”. I caught it quite well, I think if it was just a bit more left it might have went in, but unfortunately I don’t know whether [the ’keeper] touched it or it just hit the bar. But [it’s] fine margins”.

Liverpool will host Crystal Palace at Anfield next Monday.
