Liverpool without Steven Gerrard 'unimaginable' says Jordan Henderson

Jordan Henderson and Rickie Lambert have both appealed to
captain Steven Gerrard to sign a new contract and stay at
Liverpool.
Vice-captain Henderson says Gerrard leaving Anfield is
"unimaginable," while striker Lambert called him "Mr
Liverpool."
Manager Brendan Rodgers revealed on Monday that the 34-
year-old has been offered a deal to remain at Anfield beyond
the end of this season.
But Gerrard, whose current contract expires next June, is
thinking over his options before deciding whether to sign.
The midfielder is likely to be used more sparingly if he does
stay, as Rodgers has indicated that he wants to reduce his
captain's workload in order to get the best out of him.
Gerrard, a Liverpool first-team player since 1998, is
considering whether that arrangement would suit him.
The former England captain was to the bench for last
Saturday's 1-0 win over Stoke, before being restored to the
starting line-up for Tuesday's 3-1 win at Leicester, in which
he scored.
Henderson told the Liverpool Echo: "Every single member of
the squad hope he stays for many years to come.
"Steven knows his own mind and what he wants to do. It is
down to him, the club and his representatives to sort it out.
"He is huge for us and we need to keep him for as long as we
can.
"Liverpool without Steven Gerrard is unimaginable. Nobody
wants to lose him -- I'm sure the club feel that way as well."
Lambert, a boyhood Liverpool fan who joined the club from
Southampton in June, also wants Gerrard to stay.
The striker said: "I think I am speaking for everyone involved
in Liverpool that we are desperate to keep Stevie.
"It's clear that it's his decision and the club's decision but I
think he needs to stay at Liverpool for the rest of his life --
that's just my opinion.
"Stevie is his own man but he is Mr Liverpool so it's up to the
club to sort out, nothing to do with me."
