No worries, I was expecting that too happen actually. Thiago in the EPL is a bit like cooking beef tenderloins in a microwave. 90% of fans in here still don't recognize a great midfield performance unless the player scores a long range screamer, plays a few long range passes and excels at slide tackles. Good old kick'n'rush days

I made it more Bundelesliga
It was sure strange to see some United fans fawning over him because they were annoyed we didn’t get him. Straightaway, I saw that the guy is genuinely nothing special. Obviously a good midfielder who can pass it around and dribble, but not much more. Put it this way, I’d much rather Carrick in my team. That’s a guy who really dictates the tempo.
Agreed. I don’t doubt that Thiago would look nice and fancy in a team that was dominating, but I don’t see anything in him that suggests he himself could be the reason a team dominates.
I was one of those that felt he would be amazing for Liverpool or for us if we got him. It hasn't happened but I think it's reasonable to expect him to be better than this.
I actually think he would be amazing for us. Thiago with Fred and Scott with Bruno behind a front 2 would be an upgrade to what we have now.
Yeah, and yet we have a Bundesliga fan here (shock) telling us how we all don’t know football because we can’t appreciate Thiago’s Mark Noble impression. Seriously @Zehner Harry Maguire has been more progressive in his attacking play this season.
Yeah I expected him to be better too. Ineffectual would be an apt word to describe his season so far.
But can he applaud a pass he cant be bothered running for?
Hmmm... Reminds me of a player that plays the same position for us...
the Tweet deserves a Threadmark too.Genuinely not sure who you mean
No white text? Pogba
Those same fanboys came in their underpants when we played them. World class performance for 20 minutes, apparently.
Think it's a style thing. Thiago is a very good player, but not a good fit for Klopp's system. Think he'd be excellent for us, actually.
Really? Pogba has really dug in this season when it has got tough and we have really missed him in the last couple of league games to get us over the line. He’s scored the winning goal in two 1-0 wins recently and his range of passing and work rate (yes, his work rate) are streets ahead of the fingerer.
I thought that in the summer, but I assumed Klopp had a plan. It just goes to show Klopp can get it wrong, he did the same with Keita.
Is he feck. Liability so far which would be very bad for us.
I thought so at first too, but having watched him a good bit now I think he’d be a disaster in our midfield.
When was the last time Thiago carried the ball from one end to the other like McTominay does? More like poor man's Cleverley.
Nothing, it's that simple. Curtis Jones has been playing better than him but somehow always ends up being subbed.
