Thiago Alcantara Player Thread (M)

Bossed the game tonight

Quality! He’ll be top drawer next season when we’re back up there 🤜🏼

I think he’ll be unstoppable next season. Like 08/09 Xabi type unstoppable. So much class.

In a league of his own.

Absolute class.

Lucky to have him. Makes me feel a lot better about next season. A class act.

Dude is a beast. Just imagine him with Virgil and Jomez and Fab protecting the back.

 

Coming into his own now, he’s quality.

Settling into the team nicely now, takes time for some players but like others have said, he'll be  class next season with a full squad of players around him.

The way we are finishing this season, I'm already looking forward to next season now and I think we'll see the best of Thiago.

Sounds like he's frustrated with just doing home-training-home every day, poor b***ard

Says he's looking forward to getting out and rocking New Brighton prom in his speedos in the coming months

Would love to have a Maddison or Mount style player in feeding off him

That would be something to see

Thiago reminds me so much of Xavi and Iniesta ! Fabulous to watch and great at keeping the ball , would have worked really well with someone like Coutinho at his best .Next season we will see his full range of talents !

Such a silky player the difference why we will achieve Top 4.

we still have the best four forwards in the league and Thiago will be awesome next season .

Seen a lot of posts saying he'll be immense next season.

He's immense right now and has been for a number of weeks.

Proper world class talent and one of the major reasons behind us being a lot better these past few games.

Gorgeous player.

he struggled and gave so many fouls away early on but we were all over the place at the time and his injury against the blueshite really set him back.

Pretty sure Fernandinho gives more fouls away by some margin.

The fact that he had to commit so many fouls shows the dysfunctional midfield we have had this season.

Took him a while to get used to the style, higher tempo than Barca and bayern. Injury and the disjointed nature of the team didn't help. Now we are seeing the player we know he is.

So composed and rarely loses the ball, always looking to make positive passes too. Absolutely superb

He's been brilliant for us for a little while now, as im sure its been mentioned, his record when playing alongside fabinho is fantastic. Thought some of his touches last night were ridiculous, the little drag back to get past McNeil on the byline was sumptuous.

One thing i hadn't expected from him when he joined was how much he is up for a physical battle, loves a dirty tackle and really good in the air. Just a truly wonderful footballer.

Definitely much better when he's not playing as a 6. Freedom brings out his best qualities.
Can't wait to see him perform next season with a more confident team around him.
