Can see why Bayern let him go.

James has more assists at Anfield this season than Thiago

They didn't. They did everything to try keep him. This is well documented.

He's a quality player but, at present, I can't help thinking if you swapped Fred and Thiago they'd both suit their new clubs better.

Too much

Yeah sure they did. Agents have a way of bending the truth.

The Thiago we have is Fred with a slightly more forward pass. Both cant shoot while Fred can still do the defensive work.

Yeah the manager and president, who both had stated on numerous occasions they were trying to keep the player is akin to agents bending the truth.

Good post.

As I said, it's well ducumented so perhaps instead of making things up, you actually stick to the facts? Just a thought.

People saying if we had the workhorses in midfield we would be better but this only works if opposition teams play an open game. There is no point having Gini, Milner and Hendo in midfield when the opposition play deep. In previous years it worked because the opponent went to toe to with us.

We needed Thiago in midfield but this only works if we had our first choice defence.

Previous years we still had a low block to contend with but then we had a pressing 6 who would win the ball high up with numbers. This all breaks down when you put Thiago in the side. People need to stop making excuses for Thiago. Hes been poor.

No it doesn't. Thiago is good at pressing also and in fact one of the best at it for Bayern. You're making things up now.

The team aren't doing well but over the past load of weeks this has been the fault of one individual for some reason. There's a host of players not performing. Even the dependable goalkeeper went to crap for two games. Mane has been in a mood for months and the front three aren't playing off each other. Our pressing is still there and still really good. Our goalscoring isn't and of course the defence changing every week doesn't help.

It’s okay, that new CB from Germany can do it. Just took a single long ball from KO to ruin any confidence he may have had.

That’s how you beat the high press.
