He’s hardly been great come on. Circumstances or not. But you seem to have strange opinions on your CMs look at Naby 👍🏼

I'll give you Naby but Scouse is not being over the top here. Thiago has often been the best player on the park every time he has played with a settled midfield and not being asked to defend in a deeper role. Controls the flow and tempo of the game and everythingggggggg good goes through him. More importantly he works and runs his socks off and never stops trying. It was overreaction from people who cant understand that it takes a good while to adjust to a team were you have been thrown into a new role and was out for half a season with a near leg breaker and also came back and suffered covid. After all that and he has still shown his class. You should know he dominated your Mcfred midfield on Thursday.

Me and you and Scouse could dominate McFred. I understand all your saying and are valid points. But to say he’s the best in the world sorry IMO I don’t agree.
 
And yet Bayern don't seem to be missing him much, because Kimmich is twice the player.

Well, aside from then being completely different players and Thiago being asked to do the (totally foreign to him) dirty work that Kimmich does a lot of this year through injury at Anfield, which isn’t his game at all (through which simple minded analysts/ fans jumped all over him with absolutely zero context or understanding); would that be same Bayern that put a record contract offer on the table as they desperately tried to keep him? There was a reason that dragged on all last summer. Bayern trying everything to persuade him to extend.

The same Bayern who are no longer Champions of Europe whilst they aren’t missing him?

That Bayern mate?

Chelsea and Leicester know we’re taking one of the CL places now don't they?

Should be some game on Tuesday.

Modric is better than Thiago for me.

I'll give you Modric but it's not far-fetched to say he is one of the best in the world in his role. It's not even the qualities on the ball for me, it's how ******* hard he works off the ball, tackling and winning headers he has no right to win. He, Fab being back in midfield, and Trent back in the form are one of the main reasons we have hit some kind of form towards the business end.

Edit: Oh and Salah FC

Salah FC is right this season. Truly WC player that has kept you in with any shout of a CL place next season. Need to see more output from the rest of your frontline next season.

We still have Burnley to play and I'm not looking forward to that at all.

Dont worry, we demolished their motivation and even made McNeill spit and say something on Alioski (who acted a bit childishlyafter that but wtf he is accused of making racist face for that...? )

They should be going down not Fulham.

Defo. I love Bobby but all the pressing and running the miles has probably taken a toll on him plus the lack of confidence when it comes to finishing. He is still a clutch player and scores important goals but we can't rely on him to be the main player in the system as he is the one that sets the press etc.. as evident when he plays well the whole team usually does as well. Mane has fallen off a cliff and if you were going to cash in on him this summer would be the time but he suffered heavily from covid and doesn't look the same since then. Jota has effectively replaced Mane on the left and I suspect the two will battle it out next season for that role although Jota can play as a striker he is less effective there. If it was up to me I would bring in Raphina of Leeds as another option or if not use Harvey Elliot as that kid will be a star and IMO is ready. Either way, I trust Klopp to shake things up this summer.

Edit: Salah is the only one I wouldn't ever sell. He is by all accounts meticulous with his training and recovery ala Ronaldo like the way he looks after his body. He will play well into his 30s without a stark drop-off.

I think as soon as Palace is over, you consign this absolute farce of a football season to the bin and forget all about it.

Trying to analyse anything from this false carnage would be folly.

Yes, my point exactly. Kimmich does the dirty work and he also stepped up to fill Thiago shoes and he's excellent at both. Thiago is a tidy little player but those kind of hyper-specialized footballers are going the way of the dinosaurs the way game is being played nowadays.

It's not the central midfield they were missing this season.

How many times I have to tell u hands off :unsure: :D

If you will sell Mane then I will be worried as there will be more reason to splash out money and he wont come cheap for you. Also consider that Raphina plays and shines mostly on the right as Harrisson has elevated his game on the left so much this season with his work rate and output 8g8a. But he has release clause for us so might be hard to pull him from us. What I hope is done and dusted or city play some dirty move on us to get bidding war going for him.
