Former Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson has yet to taste victory at Ajax.The Dutch side suffered their first league defeat in more than three months against Heerenveen on Sunday. Despite a strong comeback, Ajax were unable to find an equalizer and remain fifth in the Eredivisie, 22 points behind leaders PSV.”He wasn’t good enough today,” interim coach John Van Schiff said. We are Ajax and we don’t want to complain about the referee’s decisions.
“We should have done better in the first place. We must rise again. Bodo/Glimt is a good bet for Thursday.”Meanwhile, Henderson’s former club Al-Ettifaq appear to be on the move. However, the 33-year-old moved to Saudi Arabia from Liverpool last summer but left for Ajax six months later.His former manager Steven Gerrard said: “We tried to find upgrades to bring foreign players into the starting line-up.
“I think the team has become stronger and healthier than before,” he said.Before adding: “Everything is very much ready. We added (Toko) Ekambi in the last few days, so we need to get him ready quickly. We are looking forward to welcoming Seko Fofana who will come and give us a boost.
We are in a good place. We have to make sure the kids are focused and ready for Thursday night.”Gerrard’s side are currently 8th in the Saudi Pro League after 19 games. The next game is against Al Khaleej on Thursday.
