Only like 2-3 passes backwards. He's going to be such an amazing asset against park the bus teams. Only one training with a team and you could see that he fits it perfectly.

What a player... Top draw.

ScubaSteve · « **Reply #402 on:** September 20, 2020, 07:42:28 pm »

It’s so good to see a player come in and spray the passes like that. Looked so calm and why should he not be...world class

Is that true?

I can live with a few red lines in there as he's attempting passes that we've not really had in our team since Coutinho left.

I'm a bit of a beginner to the Thiago love in so imagine my surprise when he suddenly decided to ping an inch perfect cross-field pass with his left foot! Teams that press us - not that there's many - are going to be picked off like never before.

So pleased to get an early glimpse of how he will fit into the system. His technique and vision is superb, and he dropped in to the team with supreme assurance. Think Carragher mentioned it during the commentary, about how he looks like he will provide that unexpected pass to create a chance vs the qualities of our existing MF players. Excited to see more of him.

Is that true?

Plenty of reports that Ferguson had done a deal for £17 million but as Moyes was the new manager he had to rubber stamp it and said no.

Thiago looked scared for his life there... He's got the get used to the bear hugs.

JackWard33 · « **Reply #411 on:** September 20, 2020, 08:05:03 pm »

Will the league let him train with us? ... I mean that's him without so it seems a bit unfair to let him practice

Bobinhood · « **Reply #412 on:** September 20, 2020, 08:05:40 pm »

I love before they even kick off the second half hes all issuing general instructions, notwithstanding hes literally never kicked a ball for the team which is filled with world class players

Our problem is gonna be we will give him the ball too much lol

Ya, he walks in and we are 10% better instantly. Cool.

Copenred · « **Reply #413 on:** September 20, 2020, 08:05:46 pm »

Oozes class and love for the game - will be an absolute steal for us

William Regal · « **Reply #414 on:** September 20, 2020, 08:21:33 pm »

what i loved was the speed he gets the ball out of his feet and passes it, so much faster than just about any midfielder playing today, add to that the unpredictability of his passing, it had world class stamped all over it

ABZ Rover · « **Reply #415 on:** September 20, 2020, 08:23:18 pm »

Fabulous performance. It takes a very special player to walk into a team like that and run the show.

We are going to love this lad!

Waka · « **Reply #416 on:** September 20, 2020, 08:31:19 pm »

Was a great time to bring him, chelsea down to 10 and give him the space for his first game. Great control

Vinay · « **Reply #417 on:** September 20, 2020, 08:35:02 pm »

Do y'all reckon he is an even better footballer than Xabi Alonso?

Yes.

Alonso didn’t have the “shimmy and burst” move that Thiago does.

redgriffin73 · « **Reply #419 on:** September 20, 2020, 08:42:17 pm »

Yeah, he's not bad is he?

The boss sure is a powerful man,he'll be careful not to break our new passmaster general.

Hoenheim · « **Reply #423 on:** September 20, 2020, 09:05:18 pm »

I think he was a bit mad at himself for giving away the pen, even though Alisson saved it. (regarding the video with him at the end of match)

El Lobo · « **Reply #424 on:** September 20, 2020, 09:06:59 pm »

Didn’t set up any goals and gave away a penalty. Nothing on Bruno Fernandes.

Wait till you see him when teams try to press us. That’s when it gets interesting.

Definitely. And it’s also like everyone swoons over Xabi these days and never mention that ridiculous bouffant he had before he started hanging out with the cool kids.

tbf he gave away a penalty, so maybe Moyes had some insight. Get rid!

I’m worried. He said he came to us for a new challenge but at this rate I don’t think he’s going to find playing in England challenging at all

What a player. Not often you see a player slot in so easily and dictating play from the off.

Posting that grid in a Thiago thread deserves some sort of sanction, it's totally irresponsible. Half of RAWK will subconsciously think to look up "Twins Danny DeVito" on Netflix, whereas the other half will have their PTSD triggered by the sight of that centre circle potato in a Liverpool shirt.

harrylfc · « **Reply #438 on:** September 20, 2020, 10:13:28 pm »

Be interesting to see where he fits in when the season really gets going... I know we’ll have a load of games to contend with,but where in the 3 does everyone see him playing??

Welshred · « **Reply #439 on:** September 20, 2020, 10:19:29 pm »

So a mate of mine said that he read something saying Thiago's passing ability is going to open Robbo up a lot more. I was sceptical at first but the amount of balls he played to Robbo in space was unreal, and its going to continue, and we'll get a lot of goals out of it!
