He's going to take the piss in the Europa League, never met a footballer who jumps back in after months out and is as good as they were before as good as Thiaaaaaago.

He's not going to make a diffrence other than provide an extra body.   ;D

A player of his quality can always make a difference when playing especially when the team is in good form. Its not like he hasnt done so before

Samie is talking nonsense. A fit Thiago adds another weapon to change a game. Brilliant to have him around.

I’d love nothing more than to see him come back and end his time here on a high, contributing to wins, even off the bench.

I’m dubious on whether he can get back to the level after so long out, hip injuries are probably the worst injury to get, not many can get back to their top athletic levels after hip surgery. Sturridge was never the same player after his, he still had the ability but he was a proper pudding athletically. Thiago could be brilliant for the Europa League run in if he can get fully fit, I don’t want him to bow out like Ox/Naby did.

If he was coming into the City team now, or Arsenal, I'd be shit scared.

But he isn't. He's ours. Rejoice.

He’ll be incredibly valuable in those games where we’re up against the low block. We’ll be playing midweek every week from late February so being able to rest and rotate our midfield will be key.

Jones, Mac, Szobo are first choice but it’s a gift to have Endo, Thiago, Grav and Elliott ready to come in not to mention Baj and McConnell for the future.

Not sure that is the case to be fair.

He is one of the greatest midfielders in world football in recent decades. Granted, he's been hampered by injuries but when he's fully fit, there are few better. He can contribute massively between now and the end of the season if he doesn't get injured. He will thrive with mobile midfielders beside him!

Can feel a bit like “Always with the negative waves Moriarity” in here sometimes. 😁
Imagine seeing the teamsheet with Thiago on the bench. He instantly gives us a world class option and Klopp has been using the bench really well all season. This would be a great potential game changer option. If Thiago is fit and firing (I know - Always….Moriarity!!) , could have the potential to be up there with City using DeBruyne for the run-in.
