Jordan Henderson's moment of hubris in choosing Saudi over Liverpool set him on the road to nowhere...and it seems he made another mistake in joining Ajax, writes IAN LADYMAN
Daily MailHe opted to leave Liverpool for Saudi Arabia last year and then exited soonafter Henderson is now captain of an Ajax team that is tearing itself apart from inside Almost unnoticed by the rest of Europe, over in the Netherlands a famous and once fabulous football institution is tearing itself apart from the inside. Jordan Henderson decision to leave Liverpool for Saudi Arabia last summer continues to hold the midfielder back Ajax provided refuge for Henderson in January to bring an end to what was a Saudi nightmare Now on their sixth manager since Erik ten Hag, Ajax are tearing themselves apart from the inside By the time he left for Ajax, Henderson was emotionally in a difficult place. So Henderson is liked and admired and respected at Ajax but the truth remains that the moment of hubris that saw him choose Steven Gerrard's Al-Ettifaq over Liverpool 14 months ago simply because Jurgen Klopp had warned him he may not get as many playing minutes stands out as one of the most damaging career decisions made by any Premier League player in recent times. A petition has been launched by Arsenal fans to protest the red card Chris Kavanagh showed Declan Rice Rice was given his marching orders after a second yellow card for kicking the ball away in Arsenal's draw with Brighton Something's fishy at Toon I remarked in this column last week that things didn't smell quite right at Newcastle.
