I understand you man
But, let me tell you something..
in sports, players huwa wanakuwa na two personalities, i mean as person (1) and as a player (2)
a fan can hate a player as a person but can like him as player, mfano Suarez is known to many for being a racist (Evira incident), majorty of football world hates him as a person but likes him very much as a player, and kuna players ambao majorty of football world wanapendwa in both ways (player and person) mfano Aguero, Firmino, Busquets, Modric, Son, Mata, Kante, Robertson, Aubameyang, Reus, Griezmann etc
Henderson, is hated by many as a player and not as a person, matter of fact he's a very good person out of football and very very humble person, but he's not good enough as a player and a captain of LFC, as bad as Lovren is, Majority of LFC fans dont hate him as a person, the whole fanbase ilikuwa nae bega-bega when his wife cheated on him, or when he received death threats kwenye social medias, kama wangekuwa wanamchukia as a person hakuna mtu angejishughulisha nae kipindi kile wakati ana matatizo ya kifamilia, people dont just like him as a PLAYER.
huwezi kuyashinda maisha kama utakuwa una-settle for sympathies and sentiments, unaweza ukaua your business kwasababu ya kushindwa kuondoa Employees unaowapenda ambao ndiyo wanaokupa hasara kila siku, you gotta differentiate between liking somebody as a person and liked somebody as an employee, or utakuwa una-fail kila siku in your life.
lastly, football/soccer, ni emotional-attached sport, its well known that you cant control someone's emotions, as reactions za kupokea habari au ku-perceive issues zinatofautiana kulingana na jinsi gani mtu alivyo emotional attached na hicho kitu.
from what i can see, you like Henderson as a player and person, and as far as this sport is concerned your truly attached to him emotionally hence unakereka sana ukiona watu wanam-crticze, but at the same time hao wanao-mcrticze dont like him as a player and as far as this sport is concerned their thoughts about him are truly emotionally. can you control their emotions? No, and they cant control yours pia. so its the same thing man. Football opinions are always carried/facilitated by emotions, you cant change it, nobody can change it man, una sababu zako za msingi sana kuhusiana na ubora wa Mchezji, na kuna mwingine ana sababu zake za msingi sana kuhusiana na ubovu wa Mchezaji huyo huyo, and thats the beauty of this sport my dude.
