«Breaking News» Jordan Henderson admits he struggled to cope in midfield against Spain

Jordan Henderson admits he struggled to cope with the midfield workload as Spain dominated proceedings at Wembley.

In the system Gareth Southgate used at the World Cup, Henderson is the lone defensive midfielder, as Jesse Lingard and Dele Alli operate higher up the pitch and closer to the two forwards. 

England were outplayed by Croatia in the World Cup semi-final loss and for extended periods, it was a similar story on Saturday.

Jordan Henderson has admitted he struggled to cope with Spain on Saturday evening

The midfielder was the only defensive-minded player in the middle of the park for England

'It was tough,' said Henderson, who was booked before being taken off for Eric Dier in the second half.

'We tried to press higher up the pitch and it became a little disjointed at times. We managed to score a good goal but then conceded straight after, which we were disappointed with.

'It is difficult in the midfield because there are lots of bodies. When you're in a three you are covering a lot of ground. But in the second half we coped a little better. As the game went on we created more chances.'

Henderson believes that this England squad will now benefit from testing Champions League fixtures, with Liverpool set to face Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United up against Juventus and Tottenham to play Barcelona.

He said: 'Playing against fantastic teams and good players, you learn a lot. They are big tests for us and ones we want to take on to get to the next level.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
