Liverpool supporters on Twitter hailed the performance of Jordan Henderson after his wonder striker helped the Reds beat Chelsea 2-1 at Stamford Bridge on Friday night.
Dejan Lovren gave Jurgen Klopp's side the lead early on in the first-half, before skipper Henderson unleashed a powerful, curling shot from 25 yards to put the Merseysiders 2-0 up before half-time.
Despite Diego Costa pulling one back for the hosts on the hour mark, Liverpool supporters hailed midfielder Henderson for putting in a captain's performance at Stamford Bridge as they deservedly took all three points.
Many Reds supporters lauded Henderson's strike for being goal of the month, or even the best goal of the season thus far.
Additionally, others felt that the 26-year-old answered his critics by putting in a man-of-the-match performance to help lift his side into the top four.
Meanwhile another Liverpool fan highly praised the England midfielder by claiming Henderson is the best central defensive midfielder in the country following his performances for Klopp's side this season.
The win puts the Reds into the top four with ten points, two points off leaders Manchester City, with the rest of the Premier League set to play their fixtures this weekend.
Here is a selection of Liverpool supporters on Twitter reacting to Henderson's performance:
Jordan Henderson has responded to the critics (which includes myself) brilliantly. He put in a real captain's performance last night. #LFC

'Transformers' sparkles over holiday weekend
The third Transfomers toy movie morphed into another No. 1 flick, coasting to the top spot of the box office on the Fourth of July weekend.
Tranformers: Dark of the Moon celebrated America's independence by claiming much of its disposable income, collecting $116.4 million over the holiday, according to studio estimates from box office tracking firm Hollywood.com.
Despite tough reviews, the sermonizing cyborgs met most analysts' lofty expectations, clipping Spider-Man 2's $115.8 million record for an Independence Day weekend debut. Moon's $97.5 million from Friday-Sunday also beat Spider-Man 2's July 4 record of $88.2 for the three-day weekend.
Brandon Gray, president of Box Office Mojo, says Moon's achievement was no small leap given the movie had "an uphill battle after the relative reactions to Revenge of the Fallen," the $200 million special effects smorgasbord that did $402 million but was excoriated by reviewers and fans.
But Moon was out of the gate early. Its debut eclipses Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides for biggest opening of 2011. The Johnny Depp action film opened to $90.2 million in May.
Never a critical darling, Michael Bay's third installment of the Hasbro toy franchise earned recommendations from just 38% of the critics, according to amalgam site rottentomatoes.com. At 157 minutes, Moon "isn't just a movie," the Wall Street Journal lamented. "It's a sentence."
Audiences, though, who have propelled Bay's movies to an average of $184 million, have always been kinder to the 46-year-old Los Angeles native. About 90% of rottentomatoes.com survey respondents gave the movie a thumbs-up, putting it in good position to pass $400 million this summer.
Despite dropping mightily, Cars 2 claimed $32.1 million over the four-day holiday. The Pixar sequel has done a solid, if unspectactular, $123 million since its release 11 days ago. The movie's three-day haul dropped 60% from its No. 1 debut last week, a sizable tumble for a kids' film
The Cameron Diaz comedy Bad Teacher was third with $17.6 million over the long weekend, followed by the Tom Hanks-directed LarryCrowne, which earned a solid $15.7 million over four days, meeting projections.
The J.J. Abrams thriller Super 8 reeled in $9.5 million, bringing its month-long haul to $110.1 million.
Despite the solid Autobot opening, summer has yet to make up the ground Hollywood lost in the beginning of the year with a slate of weak films. Although summer ticket sales are about $2.2 billion and 1% ahead of last summer's pace, overall box office revenues are down 8%. And attendance remains down about 9% from last year's rate, Hollywood.com says.

Ever had a tough question you just couldn't find the answer to? The age of wondering is soon to be no more, and it's all because of a big little website called Quora. The website and service is quickly gaining steam as THE place to go when you just can't find the answer to life's deep (and usually, technical) mysteries. There may be some practical business uses for it, though, if you're willing to give it a shot. But first, let's learn a little about it.
Quora is a question and answer database co-founded by Adam D'Angelo, the former Chief Technical Officer of Facebook. Users post a question on the website in hopes of it getting answered. Other users seek out the questions and answer to the best of their ability.
Often, the answers come from the most knowledgeable of people. For example, one question pertained to the accuracy of the Facebook movie, "The Social Network." It was answered by Dustin Moskovitz, co-founder of Facebook.
While the site started out as invite-only, Quora is now open to the public. It's gotten not only a lot of buzz but a lot of money from folks like Benchmark Capital. It remains to be seen if the high quality of professional answers to questions will stay intact as more users join the service.
How to Use It
It may seem there is a limited use of possibilities for business use when it comes to Quora, but there are in fact a few things you can do. First, try to become a question answering fiend. If you have a particular area of expertise, seek out those questions to answer.
Say your business is focused around snow globes. Try and locate any questions on Quora related to the nature of snow globes. This includes glass blowing, miniature models, and maybe even fake snow production. What this does is gives your readers a sense that the brains behind your business are experts in their field. When they look your store up, they know the snow globes they are buying are probably among the best in the biz. But make sure you know the correct answers to the questions!
The next thing to do is post some questions of your own. They can be technical questions or more philosophical. For instance, you can ask users about the specifics of making bases. Or, you can get sillier and inquire what everyone thinks what was really going on with those snow globes at the end of St. Elsewhere and Cemetery Man!
Using Quora to ask and answer questions can expand your customer base and get the word out on your business. It also lets people know just how knowledgeable you are in your area, which then reflects on your product, service and your personal brand. If you're the one with the answers, take advantage of this up and coming website today.

3. Tweak Your Power Settings
If you're like me, your computer is on all day, but you don't work on it continuously. Turning it on and off isn't an option, but a quick trip to the Windows Power Options control panel can shave your usage down a bit. There, you can set your monitor and hard drives to power down when you haven't been using the PC for a while. It takes only a second for them to power up again, so you can use that time to get comfortable in your chair.
Most important, you can set the computer itself to go to sleep or to hibernate after a certain period of inactivity. Sleep mode is a low-power mode, and as with the hard disks and monitor, it has everything up and running in just a few moments when you want to start working again. Hibernation, in contrast,
Tip: Windows XP SP2 sometimes has a problem making hibernation work when your PC
By the way, these tips also apply to your portable devices. MP3 players, cell phones, PDAs, and handheld game machines have settings for powering down or adjusting their screens, Bluetooth, or Wi-Fi settings. Switching off what you don't need (or even just turning down the screen brightness) extends battery life, which means less recharging.
4. Turn It Off!
Printers, scanners, speakers, monitors--surrounding your computer is a multitude of peripherals that will happily keep on sucking power even when the PC is switched off. It doesn't seem like much, but even an idle printer is a drain on your utility bill. The simple rule of thumb is to turn anything off when you're not using it. That includes turning off your monitor (rather than letting it sit in low-power mode when the computer is off), and turning on your printer only when you actually have something to print.
The trouble is that some devices have hard-to-reach power buttons--or worse, no power buttons at all. Power strips such as the Smart Strip can help; the Smart Strip, for example,
Also, don't forget to unplug your phone, camera, or any other rechargeable device as soon as it's finished juicing up--even though the batteries are smart enough to stop drawing power when they're full, electricity is still flowing through the cable. Some Nokia phones will even nag you to unplug them when they're done.
5. Find a New Home for Your Old Tech
So you're getting ready to upgrade to a new computer, but you've discovered that you have no room in the closet for the old one because it's already filled with a decade's worth of obsolete technology. What to do? One solution is to recycle your old gadgets by bringing them somewhere where they'll be disposed of properly. You can find a list of services in your area by checking out Earth 911's Web site, which tells you where to dispose of everything from batteries to toner cartridges to the 386 you've had knocking around since the first George Bush was in office.
Better still, you can Freecycle your old equipment. Freecycle is a network of local mailing lists (there are over 4000 globally, from Andorra to the Virgin Islands) for people who want to give stuff away or are looking for free stuff. Just post a message about what you want to give, and someone will probably offer to take it off your hands--and isn't finding your old computer a new home better than just having it dismantled?
Whichever method you choose, don't forget to wipe your hard drive clean first. Use a utility
