Henderson still settling in
Jordan Henderson admits he is still getting used to life at Liverpool after his big-money move to Anfield.[LNB] The 21-year-old was signed earlier this summer by the Reds as Kenny Dalglish continues his rebuilding process in his second stint as manager. [LNB]Henderson joined his team-mates for pre-season training late after featuring in the Under-21 European Championship for England.[LNB]However, he is now trying to adapt to his new club and revealed the enormity of the switch has yet to dawn on him. [LNB]He told the Liverpool official website: "It probably hasn't sunk in properly yet, but I'll keep working hard, keep doing the things I was doing at Sunderland and hopefully I can achieve. [LNB]"I'm settling in fine. The lads have been brilliant in welcoming me to the club."[LNB]Irony and fate so often play a hand in football and in Henderson's case, it has again proved so. [LNB]Sunderland will arrive at Anfield for the first game of the new Premier League season on August 13 - pitting the England international immediately against his former club. [LNB]But he is not daunted by that prospect or by the increased pressure that accompanies playing for the five-time European champions. [LNB]"I was with the U21s at the time (the fixtures were announced) and some of the lads had a bit of banter about it," he added. [LNB]"But that happens in football. It's a massive game - the best of the season. Obviously it's against Sunderland, which is even more exciting for me. I'm looking forward to it. [LNB]"There are big expectations and demands (here), but that comes with football - you're going to get that wherever you go and it's about how you deal with it.[LNB]"I'm looking forward to the challenge. I'll just keep working as hard as I possibly can and hopefully I can put some good performances in for Liverpool."
