Liverpool midfielder Jordan Henderson has revealed that he was always confident that he would be a success at the club.

The 23-year-old struggled when he first moved to the Reds following his £16m transfer from Sunderland but in the past year he has finally begin to flourish under Brendan Rodgers.

Henderson told Sky Sports News: "I think if you're not playing particularly well maybe there's a little bit of doubt, but at the same time you're always wanting to do better, always want to get better.

"I felt as though I had a big part to play at Liverpool still and I didn't show my full capability, really. I was still confident that I could do that and obviously the manager was fantastic in trying to improve me and a player."

Henderson is expected to be part of the Liverpool team to face Everton in the Merseyside derby later today.
