🚨🔵 Chelsea's inexperience and lack of game intelligence have long let them down.

Henderson was there, constantly, to calm everyone down. There were a couple of times when Cole Palmer and Morgan Rogers, two enormously exciting attacking players, were looking to move the ball forward but Henderson was having none of it. For good reason, too.

Chelsea were cruising at the time, two goals to the good, and Bournemouth looked lost. There was an argument that the hosts should have looked to kill the game off with a third goal at Stamford Bridge, but such reward came with extreme risk. If they committed too many forward, the Cherries were there, ready for the counter-attack - and that was the only time they were ever likely to score at that point in the game.

Henderson was the calming voice to prevent the game becoming manic.

Sources describe Henderson as an immensely popular figure in the changing room even though he has only been there a matter of months.
