Very sad that one of the best technical players to grace the PL had such a horrible injury record.

People talking about this like it was an unforeseen situation that he’d be injured more often than not. In reality it played out exactly how it was ever going to play out given his injury record before coming here.

We knew this when he signed. He also did improve us a lot.
Up until last season, he had a 100% win record when he started. Granted, he started around 20-25 games a season, but it just shows how valuable he was.
There were times our whole midfield just looked out of confidence and nervous. He would pick up the ball and start dictating. We would end up winning comfortably, and I would always think, if it wasn’t for him, we would have lost/drawn that game.

When ‘pool signed both him and Naby Keita, I was convinced they’d have their midfield stacked for years (turns out they still did, but for other reasons lol). Sad to see such a creative midfielder hampered by so many injuries

It’s crazy to me how Thiago, Eriksen, and Wilshere will all have their careers cut short.

I also thought Klopp would bring the best out of Arthur. I remember when he joined Barcelona, it was a pleasure to watch him. What happened to that player is a mystery.

Pity that out of his 4 years here, two of them we were utterly terrible, and this year he’s been injured the whole year.
It’s no coincidence we came within two goals of a quadruple in the one period where his fitness was at its best for us, and he played in a decent side.

Let’s have it real, his time in Merseyside was an absolute disaster when you look at the money he’s taken out of the club and what they’ve had back from him in return. Probably had fewer than 20 effective games.
