Was that the case with Toni Kroos ?He’s Liverpool’s equivalent of the dud Schweinsteiger we got from Bayern.
Here‘a a lesson: if Bayern are letting a player go, there’s usually a very good reason. Do not touch with a bargepole.

Owen Hargreaves, Hummels, Gotze, Renato Sanches, Douglas Costa, Arturo Vidal, Benatia all say hello.Was that the case with Toni Kroos ?
Bayern tried to keep Thiago as well.They tried to keep him
How many times do we need to state this? They’ll be palming off Boateng next, then Sule when injuries catch up with himHe’s Liverpool’s equivalent of the dud Schweinsteiger we got from Bayern.

When you try your best but you don't succeedBayern tried to keep Thiago as well.
He is not Modric. Modric also doesn’t have much goals or assists per game, but he will continually break your defensive line and push the team forward. He is also much more direct player and more aggressive. Think he would suit Klopp far better than Thiago.They need a Khedira, but he's a Modric.
Muller played in midfield for Bayern last season, really. If we're honest.Yeah, but what's Muller got to do in a midfield comparison?
I agree with all of these. Last season, Lewandowski Muller Kimmich Neuer and Gnabry were untouchableKimmich, Müller and Thiago made a great midfield last season
Kimmich, Müller and Goretzka made a great midfield last season
even Thiago, Goretzka and Müller made a great midfield last season
In the second part of the season in the Bundesliga because of injuries Bayern played first mainly with Kimmich + Thiago - then with Kimmich + Goretzka
Interestingly the result was about the same both with goals and goals against - the only thing that was the difference was that with Kimmich + Thiago we had a better xG and xG against. And I see that this season, too. I would say that we are better in creating chances and are better in the zones in front of the box with Thiago - and better in executing and the box with Goretzka.
When it is about importance both Thiago and Goretzka last season did not get in the range of Müller and Kimmich. Müller is not just the one delivering goals and assists - but he is the right hand of Flick (often talked about from the coach himself) and commander of pressing, offense and movement, Kimmich is the boss in midfield, a mentality monster with a real great endurance. Just seen with an analyzing of coaches at Sky yesterday how Müller often triggers the movements of others and the passing with his own movements. Goretzka more and more finds his place in combination with the two.
I would love to still have Thiago - and with the many matches we have this season we really would need him as there is match time for them all. There for sure is particular games in which I would prefer Thiago to Goretzka and others in which I would prefer the post-Corona-Goretzka.
No chance.... but I guess, you can get away with it if we're lumping every midfielder in the same catagory.... but he's not in the 2, and he's not as flexible as KdB in that can do both so effortlessly, but then, very few are... I'm not masively into endless titles for a midfield role, but the difference between an attacking one and a general midfield is too easy to ignore, especially in a heavily single striker(or none) era.Muller played in midfield for Bayern last season, really. If we're honest.
Yes, I can see that everytime we play against EPL teams... :PYes but the Bundesliga isn't the same as the EPL. EPL's much faster and more competitive.
Who cares? He played in midfield and that's my point.No chance.... but I guess, you can get away with it if we're lumping every midfielder in the same catagory.... but he's not in the 2, and he's not as flexible as KdB in that can do both so effortlessly, but then, very few are...

That's quality, and aptI finally get to use this meme format
So an uppgrade then!Thiago so world class he's been dropped to the beach for Milner...
Wouldn't include him there, he was good last season for Dortmund (though not good this season) and was consistently really good for Bayern. Hummels left because he requested to return to Dortmund, Bayern I think were more eager to sell Boateng that summer.Owen Hargreaves, Hummels, Gotze, Renato Sanches, Douglas Costa, Arturo Vidal, Benatia all say hello.

How do certain players get away with so many fouls?It’s ridiculous how he continues to get away with it.
Did he really look fantastic in the Bundesliga? Does 1 great season in 7 count as fantasticAnother player that looks fantastic in the Bundesliga but does nothing here
Dunno but he was rated highly wasn’t he?Did he really look fantastic in the Bundesliga? Does 1 great season in 7 count as fantastic
He was incredible in 2016-2017 too.Did he really look fantastic in the Bundesliga? Does 1 great season in 7 count as fantastic
That slide tackle was a thing of beautyTweet

2016/17 was a good season not great IMO, I remember him playing very well vs Madrid in Bernabeu. That was just the random good display in an average seasonHe was incredible in 2016-2017 too.
Unless you were counting that as his great season.
Packaged to sell. Like Hargreaves, Schweini. His last season at Bayern, Lewy Neuer Kimmich, Gnabry Muller were considerably better. At best he was the 6th most important in a starting 11, And that is even debatable considering the form of Goretzka, Davies and AlabaDunno but he was rated highly wasn’t he?
