What are you trying to say. Did you even watch him play at all. He was our best midfielder when healthy. He was also Bayerns playmaker for 7 years. Christ, that’s like me saying Giggs was just an average player.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
Yeah, I remember at one point thinking that he was starting to do a bit better. Then he just sort of disappeared.
I'm not talking about what he did at Bayern. Comparing Thiago to Premier League royalty. The cheek of it!
Should go and team up with Isco at Betis
bold move to compare a 13 time title winner who has the all time highest number of PL assists with a bloke who made 68 PL appearances and has a total of 2 goals and 4 assists. Schweinsteiger would be a more apt comparison.He's not even a Bayern legend, just another playmaker they easily replaced.
Unfortunately, not. The current Bayern team has no playmaker in the "Thiago-mold". They haven't had one in years (well, since Thiago left) and that is why their creativity in attack is lacking.
They haven’t got to a CL final since he left, after he was superb in that run. I wouldn’t say they easily replaced him.
He played one season where all their defenders were injured as a CDM and looked lost there without someone to do the tackling for him, that was as lightweight a midfield as Klopp ever had. The next season with Van Dijk back and Fabinho in CDM and him further up he was brilliant as they got 92 points in the league and the CL final. Got injured in the warm-up of the final, which summed up his health record at Liverpool. He was PFA Team of the Year for that season. But ultimately it wasn’t a good signing when someone is injured that often on a big wage.
