Jordan Henderson insists Liverpool will survive after Steven Gerrard's departure to LA Galaxy this summer.

Gerrard proved the matchwinner against QPR on Saturday.

"It is typical Stevie. He will be disappointed with the penalty but he erased it very quickly, got on with the game and came up with the goal," Henderson said.

"I was pleased for him because I am sure he wouldn't have been able to get that (miss) out of his mind all night. That just shows his character.

"Sometimes that can affect people but he gets on with it and he came up with the winner right at the end.

"I have said many times before he is a big loss to the team: he is our leader and a big influence on games so you will miss big players like that but at the same time we have to move on when he does go.

"I think we have the players who can improve and have a really good go next season.

"We have quality players. Obviously bringing in people in the summer we will welcome because the better the players we have here the better it is for us in terms of competition to get into the team and push on and try to win trophies and try to play in the Champions League.

"We have great players here, we just have to keep improving as a young squad and I am sure come next season we will be raring to go again."
