    I love Gary but there's a slight gulf in quality between the two :p Thiago is arguably the best player we've ever signed at the time of signing, we often sign really good players and make them into greats but it's very rare we sign a genuine world class talent in their prime, and from the best team in the world no less!

    In terms of free agents in their twilight years I'd say Milner is Klopp's Gary Mac, even though he was signed under Rodgers.

    That Mane header is still not getting the credit it deserves from comms.

    Think he's gonna be a lot more than that!

    Gary Mac joined at almost 36 as a bit part talismanic player. Thiago has come at his peak.

    Mental when you look at it that way too make us all feel old when you see players like Stevie G and Rooney coming through as players and now they are managers.

    Just saw the advert on BT for the Derby v Chorley game as well, another of my youngests mates is starting in that one too, yes I agree, I do feel old, remember them both playing together at under 8s, lovely lad, I will not be "lumping on" him to play BTW.

    Maybe your posting style comes across as very childish.

    Throws grenade and runs.

    Incoming ban expected;)

    Unlucky that.

    To be fair i dont think ive ever gone on your page to see when you joined and im an exclusively mobile style viewer so wouldn't have any bearing on my opinion but happy anniversary to you 20 years of boards takes some dedication. Here is to another 20.

    Thiago, Shaq & Bobby passing between each other :)

    Neco Williams looking really great. Great fitness, always tracking back and not afraid to dribble past a few players either. If Trent's form doesn't pick up soon then Neco would do a great job filling the gap.

    It feels slightly unsporting to be playing Thiago.

    He is ridiculously good.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 36,145 ✭✭✭✭~Rebel~


    Neco has come into the game very well.

    Absolutely beautiful simple little piece of play from Thiago there to keep the ball under extreme pressure on the edge of the box, and stun it out to Shaq wide.

    Only difference is that we’ve won a Champions League title, a World Club Cup title and a Premier League title without Thiago.

    United haven’t won a thing yet even with Bruno, and he couldn’t even keep them in the Champions League.

    You’re comparing apples and very poor quality oranges here.

    What did we ever do before football was invented a couple year ago :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,272 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    I really think Klopp wanted to go with a 4231 this season with Fab and Thiago as the 2, The passing range with those 2 controlling midfield would be something.

    I really want to see that happen.

    So when Liverpool mention their past success it's "Liverpool fans living in the past"

    When they mention their current success it's "Ehh football wasn't invented yesterday!"

    Choose one :p

    I wonder if Djimi still thinks Klopp has lost the dressing room. This really looks like a team that have downed tools.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,222 ✭✭✭✭Osmosis Jones


    I've noted 8 Thiago highlights in the last 7 minutes :pac:

    He is a level above most, savage player.

    Glad a lot of senior players got a run out as they still have over a week to their next game. If they didnt see any action they would be 12 or 13 days between games.
    No injuries, a few goals, next.

    That Barry kid could be one to watch, took that goal beautifully and he has a decent turn of pace.

    Thiago is unbelievable, just hope we can keep him fit...

    Was a good finish but it's impossible to judge a player's pace based on them having the beating of Rhys Williams I think :o


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 36,145 ✭✭✭✭~Rebel~


    Horrendous first half, quite decent second half. Thiago, and to a lesser extent Shaq, the difference.

    Thiago really is just mesmeric to watch, just an incredible footballer, has absolutely everything at the highest level. Thought it was interesting how often he looked for Shaqiri, wonder if they've struck up a bit of a relationship on the training group.

    Switched from Irish under 15's & 16's to England under 18's last year.

    Says alot about him that we aren't begrudgingly hammering into an Irish reserve keeper for making a mistake. Can see why Villa paid nearly a million quid for him.

    Shaq plays between the lines really well, he's the kind of player who's always in a great position but can be really hard to find unless you've a passer like Thiago in the side. Without Thiago today Shaq would be stood in the exact same positions but just watching endless passes being played out to the fullbacks instead.
