What Will Thiago Do At Liverpool?

Thiago Alcantara has arrived on Merseyside to be more than a midfield metronome. Liverpool’s midfield has become the engine room of the side, functional and energetic. Thiago will bring something different.
But just what will the Spanish international bring to Jurgen Klopp’s team?

This was the perfect signing they needed, Liverpool were too dependent on their flanks for creation while the midfield didn’t offer much in attack but it changes with Thiago, now teams have another attacking dimension to deal with when playing Liverpool

[Bruno-gjvn]

"...injury aside..." - that's another reason why Liverpool is a great choice for him, because it's a team that doesn't need him to play all matches, which should help curtail his injury related absences.

[ADAMROMA]

Liverpool needed a player like him with his creativity in the middle of the park what a signing I wish he came back to barcelona

[T_T_K_]

Keita-thiago could be one deadly mid-field combination, with fabinho/hendo as holding midfielder

[manuelsandoval]

Can you made a video about, How Dest could fit at Barça, and What makes Fati a Special player ?

[aarondong]

He tested positive for Covid. Hope he get well soon.

[pkingglazersout]

After seeing his first game, we got to know that he was a missing set piece in klopp's jigsaw, he helps in putting pressure incorporating geggenpressing and his technical and passing ability adds to the attack, hope he recovers from COVID as soon as possible and step on the pitch so that we all watch his delightful play

[scalex]

4:27 That Oxlade-Chamberlain is terrifying

[sriramm]

Last time I was this early Sanchez was good

[GPHD]

Brilliant & efficient . What else would you expect from a successful LaMasia player

[EDWINJOHNSONatutube]

That thumb nail is 100% accurate 👍 he just completed 4537 thumbs up. What a player what a signing 🔥

[alexorlandini]

Great vid. Ever thought about doing a vid on Valeiry Lobanovkskyi and his modern approach which revolutionised soviet football ?

[gauravmufc]

The gegan press has helped liverpool a lot and klopp has a good academy backup plus excellent scouting network setup to help liverpool continue their run even after he leaves the club.
But the once klopp leaves it will be difficult for liverpool to achieve the great heights as they have done now.
Plus this season the likes of everton, leciester, leeds will be searching for glory and most probably will standout as a bigger threat than expected at the start.
Hopeful for an exciting season to come ahead the 1st 3 weeks have been one the most dramatic weeks in recent past.

[yippy]

Surely the best signing of the window so far!!!

[Rahim.]

Hope he recovers from COVID really quick

[hayekishida]

The only thing I have a problem with is that it looks like hé will function best from the bumber 6 position but I dont want fabinho out of the team. Hé is sucj a good tackler and has good postional awarness to stop counter attacks. I think thiago will be deployed as an 8 and creat next to fabinho. Similair to how wijnaldum drops deep even though we have fabimho there. The other 8 will be shoved higher on the pitch like henderson to combine with salah and arnold.

[thMandalorian]

Well this video was uploaded at the worst

Wishing this baller the speediest of recoveries after he contracted COVID 🙏

[divyaekambaram]

He would be great against teams who set up defensively with low block.
Trent and Robbo crossing highly effective against defensive teams but with physical disparity of front 3 opposition could easily clear those balls.
What Thiago brings the ability to feed the balls to front 3 to their feet.
It would be great to watch him in pl this season.
