Andy Robertson has taken to Instagram to send a cheeky message to Liverpool skipper Jordan Henderson.
The Scottish international posted a photo of himself in training to his personal account with the caption: “Stretching for the skippers pass”, followed by a laughing face emoji.
Henderson seemed to take the post in good humour though, responding to the post with five laughing faces.

OPINION
First of all, Robbo’s joke seems a little bit harsh on Henderson, who, for the most part, has been bang on the money with his passing so far this season. His pass completion rate of 79% is nothing to be sniffed at, as per Whoscored, and while he will be wanting to boost that figure as the season progresses, there is certainly nothing to suggest that it’s particularly awful. More important, however, is the fact that this post shows just how good the atmosphere is in the Liverpool camp right now. The fact that players feel comfortable enough to openly take the Mickey out of the skipper and he responds in such good faith shows that this is a group who are on the same page, and who share a good sense of camaraderie. Don’t underestimate the importance of that when challenging for titles.
