Thiago Alcantara

Xabi and Thiago in the middle must have been a sight to behold

Did not happen a lot but was like watching adults play keep ball against kids when it did.

Thiago in the middle with Goretzka was a sight especially in games when Kimmich was played with them in the CDM role and not at RB.

Then again just watch Thiago with Fabinho and you get a similar level of quality as watching Thiago and Kimmich play. We just need a prime level Goretzka of our own to go with them.

It does say a hell of a lot about Thiago that he can play alongside guys like Alonso, Goretzka, Kimmich, Fabinho, Henderson, Keita etc and still stand out.

Even more amazing that he is not a nailed on starter for his country.

Worst 45 I've ever seen him play today

He wasn't alone, they were all iffy at best.

Who won the ball then?

A trademark tactical foul incoming from Xabi (looks like he is about to take out Naby's standing leg) to allow Thiago to nip away with the ball by the looks of it.

What a pic

One minute he's standing stationary, receives the ball, player/s comes to close him down and he slips into the Matrix, bends time and space to glide through them then delivers a killer ball.

I love that FSG ripped up the template and allowed Klopp to get Thiago at 29. Just wish we had of got him a few years younger though, especially as Covid and injury robbed us of a proper first year.
