You’re taking the piss right? You were expecting Salah to break all those records? TAA to tear up Europe at 19? Mane, Bobby, Gini, Hendo…basically everyone that hasn’t been injured all the time
Nah, in Hendo’s case I don’t agree. He already turned the corner a long time ago when Klopp took over. He was one of our (rare!) top performers (along with Coutinho and Sterling) the previous season in 14/15.
He also has a long list of players who have left his tutelage and never looked half the player again. Lewondowski and Gundogan are maybe the only two players I can think of who moved and lived up to expectations.
Klopp took over in early 15/16 season. Hendo already had about 2 and a half successful years with us and won the armband. Of course, it’s impossible to know if he’d still be here in 2022, but Hendo is a successful story at Liverpool apart from that somewhat difficult start and when he almost left under Rodgers.
