Thiago Alcantara

[rudedog]

He’s good but each game he annoys me with being overconfident and sloppy with his passing at times, which generally sets the trend for the whole team dropping off a level. Needs to produce his quality for a full game.

Each game his sloppy play causes the whole team to drop off a level? I'm surprised we've managed to win any games when he plays

If he stays fit for the rest of the season we will win something else… he’s too good. He faded a bit tonight, as did others, but he’s key to us having a chance of progressing on all fronts.

We tend to win alright

Yeah but I think he's missed all the big games we've dropped points in - City, Chelsea, Spurs etc

he didnt go away on internationals though and I can't see Benfica being a bunch of hackers I think Fab/Thiago sub will happen, no idea which way round

Adel Taraabt is there defensive midfielder so think you could be right

I don’t think it’s about someone hacking him down- I think it’s more about playing every few days… I would tend to try to limit him to once a week- we have the squad to rotate now, so let’s use it. I’d want him playing against city next 2 weeks, and hopefully we don’t need him in either of the benfica games (have him on the bench just in case). After that, reassess, based on what we’re still going for.

Thiago didnt play vs City earlier this season. Nor Chelsea home or away or League Cup. When he plays we tend to win.

Then look at his career trophy haul. We need to manage his game time for sure. And that starts 100% with him being fit to play City. Defo rest him tomorrow.

The pass on ten seconds is utter filth.

When the games have been coming twice a week, we’ve been alternating Thiago with Naby in the LCM position all season (when they’ve both been available).

Thiago takes the bigger games, but Naby’s form this season allows us to manage Thiago without a risky drop off in quality or any compromise to our preferred midfield set up.

Really important that we can keep both fit for the run in. We need Naby to be able to effectively manage Thiago and still maintain a strong midfield. And we need Thiago if we’re going to make this a special season.

... no way we risk him tomorrow.

Lovely. No reason why he can’t feature against Forest then.

[Shaggy]

Left out of the Spain squad. Absurd, but great for us.

[Pablo]

He's definitely got the odd mistake in him, but **** me what a player he is
