It´s a bit of what he said after landing there.
EPL defenses are shitty, slow, plodding, etc.
They wised up, the league has him to thank for upping their level of play.
He was simply north of ´meh´in Spain when he left (with great, great potential, no doubt, which kept him in the headlines), and he benefitted from the lack of tactical nous in the EPL.
Those days are gone.
Also, Liverpool was a solid side, and Stevie had some amazing passes there.

Your stupidity knows no bounds. Pray tell how those "shitty, slow, prodding" defenses of the EPL were managing to consistently put multiple teams in the CL semi's and finals?

Some of what you say may be true. But he was the 3rd highest scorer in La Liga a couple seasons before joining Liverpool. Only Ronaldo (24) and Baptista (20) scored more goals than him (19). He also played on a shite club who was only promoted a couple seasons before that I believe. He's only scored 19 in the Prem a single time FWIW.

An especially odd statement since goals in the Prem are at an all-time high. If the league has any one player to thank for causing it to "wise up," it's Henry.
