I love watching Thiago, we do not know how lucky we are to have him, he (like Litmanen and Alonso was) is a level above what surrounds him but occasionally (less often than not) takes risks that do not come off.
We will not appreciate him till he's gone, unfortunately, because the team is playing poorly, he's not getting the credit he deserves. The fact he has remained fit this year is a rare plus.
