Jordan Henderson will use any criticism of his performances for England, if he’s lucky enough to play from the start of a game, as a motivational tool. Criticism doesn’t really bother him, he says, and is only interested in what his team mates and manager think of him.
He said: "There has been a lot of criticism but that is part and parcel of football - it doesn't bother me.
"Maybe at the start of the season, I needed to deal with the increased scrutiny that comes with playing forLiverpoola little bit better.
"But I wouldn't want it any other way now.
"I think I've taken it quite well and it's the way I like it to be.
"I would rather have people criticising. It gives you that little bit more incentive to go and prove them wrong.
"I think more about what the manager atLiverpooland my teammates think or the manager and the players withEngland.
"It's more important what they think, so there's no criticism that has stuck but I know when I don't play well and when I know when I play well.
"I am very critical of myself so I need to be a little bit more confident at times."
