Was the difference when he came on Saturday.
Rapidly becoming one of my favourite players in the team. The drop of the shoulder/feint to change direction is a thing of beauty to create space for himself.
His passing is sublime; the speed with which he reads a situation before he receives the ball is different class & he can put the ball on a sixpence from 40 yards with either foot.
The way he geed the Kop up after the equaliser Saturday, showed his passion & was instrumental in us kicking on.
Every time I see him live (when I'm at the match) I feel like he's the classiest player on show (alongside Big Virg of course!!). He dictated the pace of the match the last 30 mins on Saturday.
Our strongest midfield (IMO) is Thiago, Fab & A N other, dependant upon the opposition.
Think if we keep him fit the the next 3 months, we could see some serious silverware this season.
THIAGO..........THIAGO ALCANTARA......
