Nah they don't. Busquets goals usually come from the fact he's very tall and in set pieces is like an extra central defender up there. Rarely ever scores from open play. And he doesn't make many assists either. His career best is 4 in a season, same as Hendo last season having played nearly 1,000 fewer minutes. https://www.whoscored.com/Players/44721/History/Sergio-Busquets
I personally don't think Henderson has been at his best, for me he was superb last season in that same role until his injury. This season he took a while to get going.
Busquets is a better player then hendo, even he doesn't get a assist or scoring. He will roll on the ground to get his team a free kick. Not saying it's a good thing, just that he is a more attacking player then hendo. He will create more then hendo in the bigger picture.
Compare him to the best dms in the world and the picture says it all. When it comes to statistics, football is really a simple game. A ball and teams where they both try to score. You will always find stats to back any opinion. I'm on my phone, so I refuse to Google and find stats to Comlare Hendo to fernadinho or kante.
The bottom line is I think hendo isn't good enough to start for us every game, there isn't any stats who can convince me other wise because I watch every Liverpool game.
firmino's assists and goals stats won't be that impressive but I wouldn't swap him for sure now.
