Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson has stressed the importance of consistency in the team, which has been lacking throughout the season. He has reportedly been drilling this idea into his teammates, and Liverpool's current three-game winning streak shows that his demands may finally be heard. With a win against Tottenham, Liverpool can jump to fifth place in the Premier League, which could be massive in securing a spot in Europe for the next season.
Henderson praised the team's character and response to setbacks, which "underpinned a lot of our success in previous seasons." Liverpool beat West Ham United in a difficult situation, and the squad responded excellently to going one goal down. He also suggested that consistency is something every football team should have as part of their armor, as it breeds confidence and a belief that, even if caught by a sucker-punch, it doesn't mean that they have to go on and lose the fight. It remains to be seen whether the squad can maintain their improved form and push for Europe at the business end of the season.
