If Jordan Henderson had wanted to stay at Anfield, he only needed to realise that time passes and that Jürgen Klopp’s new idea requires a lot of physical wear and tear. Hence, he gradually realised that his involvement would be limited and he felt he needed to be more involved. However, he changed leagues to gain more notoriety, and he succeeded both on and off the pitch.
After leaving for Arabian football, Henderson has not had an easy time of it. He has had bad performances and miscommunications with the fans, who all seem to be against Jordan. Jordan went from being a hero at Anfield to a player who is criticised for his choices and actions because his popularity and standards have fallen too low and he seems to be unstoppable.
Now that Henderson’s team’s poor performance has caused fans to desert them and fewer and fewer people are attending their matches at the home stadium, the Reds great Graeme Souness has heavily criticised Henderson in a Daily Mail column. Souness was particularly critical of the Saudi Pro League’s standards.
“I have to say the games were hard to watch and actually made me think: ‘I could play half an hour as an ageing central midfielder in that football,'” the legendary Reds midfield player remarked. I provide my services!” It would have been the worst choice of Hendo’s career because it clearly reveals the appalling quality in this league.
Henderson’s participation in Arabia
Jordan Henderson is going through the worst period of his career right now in Arabia, with numerous controversies. He came to the team as a player who would help them, but the results have not shown up, and in 13 games with Al-Ettifaq, he has only managed five assists—a woefully inadequate performance.
