'Scary' Liverpool trio could become unstoppable - Henry

Thierry Henry has hailed the performance of Liverpool midfielders Thiago, Jordan Henderson, and Fabinho this season, describing the trio as 'scary.' The legendary forward pointed out that they would get better if they play more games together, at which point he said they would be 'unstoppable.'

Henry made these statements while speaking about Liverpool's 4-1 victory over Everton on Wednesday night. The trio started the Merseyside derby with Henderson opening the scoring in the ninth minute. Thiago earned rave reviews recently after a scored a physics-defying goal against FC Porto on Matchday 5 of the UEFA Champions League.

While filling in as a pundit on Amazon Prime, Henry said: "The scary thing about that Liverpool side is that Fabinho, Thiago and Henderson have played just three times together.

"If they start to really click and understand each other I don’t know how you’re going to stop them."

The Arsenal legend was also effusive in his praise for Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk, highlighting his importance to the way the Reds play. Henry noted that van Dijk is just as important to Holland as he is to Liverpool, with his confidence in one-on-one situations allowing his teams push higher up the pitch.

According to the former France international: "This for me is the man. We’ve seen it with Holland. I know we’re talking about Liverpool here but when he is there and when he isn’t there it’s a different ball game.

"He’s not scared of one-on-one, you can go and he will cover you - Matip on the other side will do the same thing. He is immense and what he does he allows you to stay high because he isn’t scared of one-on-one."

Liverpool continued their push to regain the Premier League title with an emphatic victory over Everton on Wednesday night. The 4-1 victory was the third game in a row they had scored four goals, and the first time they conceded in those three games, responding to a 3-2 loss to West Ham United before the international break with consecutive 4-0 victories over Arsenal and Southampton.
