I still think he would have done well under the right manager and system.
Remember that before Mo came to us and played under Klopp, he was just a so-so pacy winger and not the prolific goal threat he is now.
Also on the other end of things you have Coutinho who - under Klopp and our system - was one of the most dangerous 'in-the-hole-behind-the-Number-9' midfielders in the league, so much so that Barca paid 145 Million for him, but when he left to play for them under a vastly inferior manager and system, suddenly his game went bust and he's been looking for it ever since.
(sidenote : Gini should take note, since the PSG fans are already on his case for his game performance level dropping since he joined that)
Werner had the misfortune of joining Chelsea in a bad period when they were in transition with a manager who had no business managing them at the time just because he was a fan favorite former player and that completely screwed up his settling in the league in his first season.
The lad has talent.
It's just that no one who's managed him outside Dortmund has known how to utilise it properly.
Tottenham are gash.
