LFCMadLad Posted February 13, 2021 Posted February 13, 2021 7 minutes ago, Dr. Gonzo said: Yeah he hardly played today it was just a 5 min substitute appearance after all, right? Oh right, so he's rubbish after a lengthy substitute appearance? Get a grip mate, anyone with an ounce can see the quality he brings. Just needs time and to be played in a settled side. Hes far from rubbish.

Having Thiago is like having Xabi Alonso high on glue. It would be a lot better if he didn’t huff the glue.
Spike Posted February 13, 2021 Posted February 13, 2021 thiago is a mad player but how does he work with klopp's intense system? he isn't an intense presser, he retains possession instead of being proactive, he isn't overly physical or athletic, he is a paring knife when you need a meat clever

Burning Gold Posted February 13, 2021 Posted February 13, 2021 The Thiago thing is really frustrating. We obviously bought him as a bit of a luxury player which we could afford because we could line him up with the combative Fabinho and Henderson with our fullbacks stretching the pitch horizontally. But he came in and got covid, then looked great against Chelsea and Everton and then got injured for quite a long time. By the time he was back those two had been spending more time at centre half than anything else and he's trying to be the enforcer in a midfield with two of Wijnaldum, Jones, Milner, Shaqiri, Oxlade-Chamberlain. Outside of rare occasions when one of them is in the mood, that's a midfield devoid of both combativeness and creativity and it's a completely different situation to the one we bought him for. That said, my stance on him hasn't changed. With his pedigree and ability, the above is no excuse for the lack of impact he's had

I think he's far from being our worst player since he signed, and far from being rubbish. You will see the quality he brings when we have a settled side, instead of him currently trying to learn the way we play whilst playing in a makeshift team. You have to give him time, just like Robertson, Fabinho etc needed time. But hey, if you think he's rubbish then who are we to argue.

When we struggled to break teams down last season it was in large part because we didn't have that precision in midfield when Keita was on the treatment table (read: always). Thiago would've been a perfect fit for that team

You fill your nappy if someone expresses a different opinion to you on an online forum mate, don’t act like you’re the bastion of maturity here.

I disagree with your opinion on Thiago and I've said so. You are literally pulling me up on something and then doing the same thing. All I did was disagree about Thiago and explained why. I then get shit for it?

Your basically bitching like a little girl with the whole ‘oh well if Gonzo says so’. Well he does. He’s entitled to think he’s shite and you’re entitled to think the sun shines out of his arse. End of fucking story. The passive aggressive responses are boring as fuck.
Danny Posted February 13, 2021 Posted February 13, 2021 Thiago has joined a club in a new league who are literally in turmoil, such difficult circumstances to play your best football. At his best you will have player who will provide numerous assists and key passes that most of your team wouldn't be able to do, currently he's a bit of a passenger but no one is playing that well for you
Guest Posted February 13, 2021 Posted February 13, 2021 Just a reminder I said liverpool might not make the top 4 this season. I think I was the only one on here that said that.
Danny Posted February 13, 2021 Posted February 13, 2021 44 minutes ago, LFCMike said: They're the sort of balls that Alisson comes out for all the time. It's a lack of communication or Kabak not used to what to expect from the keeper behind him. There's no way you can pin this fully on one or the other unless we know whether the keeper has called for it. We're not having this conversation if it's Matip or Fabinho in that situation. And that's not me trying to blame Kabak, it's just going to take him time And it's still the keeper's responsibility to make sure it comes off, as Kabak had the ball covered. A confident Allison does not get caught in that situation
Administrator Stan Posted February 13, 2021 Author Administrator Posted February 13, 2021 Thiago is a good player. Probably not much wrong with him. It's not his fault he got shit scared whenever Ndidi came near him and nicked the ball off him.
Dr. Gonzo Posted February 13, 2021 Posted February 13, 2021 I’m sorry me not rating a player causes such strong reactions on here
