Thiago Foulcantara is back
Thiago Alc*ntara | Retires
- Thread starter horsechoker
- Start date
The mini-orgasms the commentators have over every little thing he does is ridiculous. Played well for the first 20 minutes and did very little afterwards.
Thiago 
Such a calming influence on the ball. Shame we're only getting to see him now. And shame Salah and Mane are going through the mother of all droughts. Suspicion that long covid is playing a part on both and probably Trent too.

Klopp will probably say that the ref's refusal to book him somehow negatively affected Liverpool.
Commentator's wanked themselves into a coma today over him. Very good player but fecking hell. "The ball sounds different when it comes off his boot."
Dirtiest player around and allowed to kick lumps off any opposition .
Very good today.
Cannot wait to get Matip back and put Henderson and Thiago together. Maybe that will lead to more space up front and net us some goals.
Ran the game for the first 25 mins, didn’t actually have much influence on it after that beside that effort from range.
How many fouls does he have to commit to get Yellow card?
If he stays injury free I think he'll be a big player for them in the second half of the season.
There were glimpses of what he could do for Liverpool.

Could say that about any Liverpool player. They're the best side in the country and getting away with little fouls that stop counter attacks. Truly an art form.
Big Thiago fan but was bang average today, especially considering we allowed them to have the ball in those areas quite a lot.
Klopp's "mind games" paid off for this game. It was shocking. 5-6 counters stopped, not a single yellow. But very good result so to the next game and hope the lads will keep it up.
Majestic sideways passes and the fouls
Didn’t realise he was such a dirty fecker! How he escaped a yellow card in that game baffles me, fouling our players numerous times stopping counter attacks. Referees bottling decisions yet again at Anfield, shouldn’t be surprised really.
Never a TopTop player. Barca and Bayern let him go for a reason.
feck all to do with mindgames mate, they do it week in week out and have done for years.
My favourite was his pass straight out of play in the first half under no pressure. FellainiesqueMajestic sideways passes and the fouls
Fantastic first 20 mins then disappeared and wasn’t in the game until the shot that DDG saved (looked better in real time than it actually was).
Can’t believe how many fouls he got away with!

Or the through ball to Salah . Someone should explain the white line rule
His fouls were Fellainiesque for sure. Did he even get yellow?
Pep really missed Fernandinho replacement.
Was he booked?
He had a great game, but boy is he a cynical bastard. Had two or three bookable challenges and I'm astounded how he came out of this game without one.
This. The Scousers are dirty b@stards the lot of them.
They fouled us on almost every single attack.
I’m really surprised by the comments, Thiago was class today.
Damn fecking straight!
Thiago!
You're right - he warranted a damn fecking straight Red card!
Go away Dumbo and go cry on Rawk now.
He's surprised!
Which game did you watch?
I imagine the same one as you, only with a better understanding of the game.
Lovely technique - i hope they change their style so everything goes through him. Can already see it effecting the front 3, nowhere near as dynamic.
I hope he's another Veron

In a fully functional Liverpool side they would be even more intimidating with him and that's saying something about how good he is considering how unstoppable they were last season. Oozes class.
Really?
And you couldn't see Thiago's professional fouls during the game?
Shows that it's you who has no understanding of the game.
Yeah, he's desperate for those 3 yard sideways passes from hendo
One class pass to TAA in the first half aside thought he was fairly average
Not true. Bayern wanted to keep him but he wanted a different challenge and Barca were interested in re-signing him.
Here they all come, one after another like sheep.

Yep, continual obsession with aesthetic in football is what had people claiming Martial over Kane
He is very classy but his weaknesses are there too. He's really slow and needs to foul to compensate for this, he was bypassed a few times tonight. He was also tackled twice in his own half but we botched both opportunities meekly. Players really need to get on to the ref about his fouling because once he's on a card he's very vulnerable.
Who was the United player he skipped past and left in the dust in the first half? Was it Fred? About time we had a midfielder he can do stuff like that.
