It reminds me of a cricket fast bowler who comes steaming into the crease for years but then his bowling technique means his body eventually pays for it in the end. The beauty of Thiago’s passing technique where so much of the passing action comes from his hip rotating whilst facing in another direction and deceiving his opponents, came at a cost to the health of his hip joint.
The talent he was blessed with and his Brazilian & Spanish backgrounds resulted in a footballer who both had the flair/imagination of a Brazilian technician innovating with all kinds of different passes and of course the famous Thiago turn as well as having the metronomic passing efficiency/vision of a top Spanish midfielder, piercing the tightest gaps to break through multiple opposition defensive lines. His La Masia education engrained him with the knowledge to control any football match. The Brazilian heritage in him also meant he never shied away from putting his foot in and doing the dirty work in midfield as he even held down a DM spot in Bayern’s sextuple winning campaign. His underrated aerial prowess
One of the most naturally talented midfielders ever and one of the most enjoyable players to watch whenever he was on the pitch. Go well legend, you have etched your place in history. @Thiago6.
Gareth Southgate rates Kieran Trippier more highly than Trent Alexander-Arnold.
That’s an opinion that’s inexcusable for someone spouting nonsense down the pub, let alone the England manager.
It’s unfathomable - like choosing Phil Neville over Steven Gerrard in the mid 2000s.

Nah. I can’t stop tearing up. I’ve never loved a Liverpool team more than this season’s.
There’s something in the air around all of our boys. This is the most special team I’ve ever witnessed at #LFC.
For all the Northern Ireland fans who are against the Casement Park redevelopment.
They do know that Northern Ireland’s best player Conor Bradley played GAA underage yeah?
(This kid is going to be the best footballer this island has ever produced btw)
It's official, Virgil van Dijk is the best centre-back in the Premier League right now:
◉ Highest duel success (10+ contested)
◉ 0 errors leading to shots
◉ 0 dispossessions
◉ 0 x dribbled past
VVD is back. 😤
Seeing lots of people saying there’s a conspiracy against Liverpool.
I get it, it feels like it at times to anyone watching a lot of Liverpool games, but as Klopp pointed out yesterday, it isn’t just #LFC it happens to.
Plenty of other fans will think the same about their team. Including those who’ve forgotten about it this weekend - but they’ll soon remember when it’s their turn again.
It doesn’t help that money is still the most powerful entity in the English game. Nations with extremely worrying human rights records are welcomed into the game with open arms. FFP is a pretend concept. It gives the feeling that almost anyone can be bought.
The reason people think it’s a conspiracy is because they’re looking for rational explanations for irrational situations.
Everything is hidden behind Howard Webb’s cloak of secrecy, anything we do see is protected by the FA and their refusal to allow criticism of officials.
PGMOL are leaking reasons for the offside call, not sharing them openly.
The FA let PGMOL decide if it’s ok for officials to travel 4,500 miles to officiate in a game in an unconnected league 48 hours before they work on a Premier League fixture that could ultimately decide who wins the title.
The lack of transparency is one of the main contributors to fans thinking something more sinister is going on.
The referees act like arrogant royalty, thinking they have no need to explain, that it’s their right to be considered always right.
The conspiracy is that the FA long since stopped putting the good of the game as their top priority. Their faux outrage about the super league was more about the fear of losing their power and control than about any pretence of caring about the good of the game.
If they cared about the good of the game they’d have already called their own investigation. They’d have done it long ago.
They don’t care.
