Transfer window still open. Maybe they can persuade Frenkie to join, he's a free agent apparently?
Thiago Alc*ntara | Retires
- Thread starter horsechoker
- Start date
His absence doesn't weaken Liverpool. He was a relatively cheap signing capable of a nice pass or shot but he's not elite level.
Top 5 central midfielder in world football over the last 6-7 years easily, maybe top three.
even if we concede that he isn’t elite (debateable), considering him in the context of our injury problems (no jones no Keita), and relative to our next best available midfielders (Henderson, Milner), it is disastrous imo
We’re a few midfield injuries away from Jay Spearing starting.
League is almost already gone if you can’t beat promoted teams. City are relentless in that regard.
this Bellingham basket mindset that our club seems to have thrown itself into is going to feck us big time I think
this Is what I mean. Before the injury I thought we’d need to beat City at least once, but probably twice to win the league. But with the injury now it may not be enough considering how tight the margins are.
kinda crazy how the league can feel on a knife’s edge after GW1 but I suppose this is just how things are now
Modric, Kroos, de Bruyne, Bernardo Silva, David Silva, Kante, Gundogan, Fabinho, Casemiro have all played more and been more important in their team's success over that period, off the top of my head.
It weakens them heavily
And McTominay
He's only out for 6 weeks.
This is the same club that rose VVD from the dead. He could be back in 4.
That’s an absurd post. He was nothing short of brilliant last season and even this season in the community shield. To suggest his absence doesn’t weaken Liverpool is ridiculous.
I guess the asthma meds can't fix hamstrings
Take a moment for us. We are zero injuries away from Mctominay and Fred starting.
6 weeks is a humongous amount of time in a title race. Liverpool could easily be miles off the title in 6 weeks if they are carrying a weak midfield.
Winning titles means nothing to this team.
They'll still be the best team in England, Europe, the world and well best team ever to win fcuk all. The one that everyone wants to beat.
Yep, nearly all of Liverpool's dropped points last season came when he was injured, they were almost unstoppable with him in the team. Massive loss.
IMO Thiago is ahead of Bernardo, Silva, Gündogan, Fabinho, Casemiro and maybe even Kanté.
A sensationally bad take. When he’s on song he takes them up a level. Phenomenal talent.
That's mad. He was poor in his first season but he was one of their most important players last season.
Heard Rabiot is available..
There is still time for a gazumping ..Is he still available?Thought he'd been 'snapped up!'?
who doesn't like that..
Keep in mind this isn't any ordinary six weeks. It's six weeks during a period in which teams are crammed full of games prior to the World Cup.
Come on Liverpool, show the world your pee pee is much bigger than United's by hijacking the deal.Is he still available?
Yeah he's one of the best midfielders in world football when he is fit.
Bizarre to think that playing Milner/Elliot instead of him doesn't weaken them.
Huge loss this, probably title altering. (If it was even a question) The difference in points with and without him is stark.
He is a glorified accident to happen. Fancy passes when no one needs them and never relevant in important games, hated him for Bayern when everyone creamed themselves over 1 fancy no look lob per game.
They desperately need him fit
He was the best player in the UCL final..
He makes our entire team tick.
This guy watched Thiago via reels.
Garth spitting facts.
Clever with the ball, but his legs have gone
Worse tackler than Scholes
Worse tackler than Scholes
He's been a hugely underwhelming signing, in all honesty.
