SOUNDBITE (English) Brendan Rodgers, Liverpool coach:
(On Jordan Henderson)
"I think that's the objective, when I spoke to Jordan (Henderson) this year, because he has the quality. That finish that he made to make the equalizer, he does that day in and day out in training. He's a player - he's so fit and so strong, he's such a team player. He does a lot of unselfish work for the team. But this year we're asking him to get more into the box. I thought he had more opportunities when he went - we played him obviously just around the corner in the game in the last 20 minutes or so and he was able to time his runs better just getting forward. So he got in a few times. He was unlucky with a touch in to Raheem [Sterling] I think it was. So that's his strength, he can really penetrate the defensive line. And as I said he's an athlete, he can run all day. So I would expect him to be getting upwards of 10 goals this season because as I said he has the quality and the tactical nose to arrive in the areas to do that."
