We need AOC [Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain] back, we need a healthy [Adam] Lallana. “It’s not up to me, but I would guess we’ll see more of Divock [Origi] next year. I think he brings something special, he comes with power and speed and brings in scoring.“I feel really good about next year.” Henry is in London to watch the baseball team he also owns, the Boston Red Sox, play the New York Yankees in the first regular season baseball game played in the UK.Despite Premier League disappointment, Henry was fulsome in his praise of Jurgen Klopp’s men for their 2018-19 efforts, believing Champions League success was a reward for their hard work. “Our guys gave their all from the first day of the season to the last,” he continued.“It’s a long season, they played up to their capabilities and just gave it so much effort. “It didn’t matter who the opponent was, they out-ran every opponent and I felt they deserved to walk away with a trophy.“We walked away with the biggest one so I’m very happy.”</blockquote>
