Thiago Alcantara

[3 Stacks]

If he's also seriously injured, season's just about over in terms of winning major trophies. If he's fine, we can probably survive van Dijk being out long term just on the basis that our defending has been crap recently anyway and the drop-off with him being out long term may not be that humongous. And we can also change the way we defend, be more conservative, etc...

 

Can't lose two world class players, though. That would be disastrous. His passing through the lines yesterday was sick. Sick. Sick as in, he's in the hospital, buy him a get well card type sick.

Ha ha Calvert lewin is nowhere near him

Look at DCL's right foot just as the clip starts. 

To be fair though, if that injures Joe I will chip in for the skip to throw him into.

Our last 2 games couldn't have gone any worse in the grand scheme of things. Complete disaster.

The drop off in losing probably the worlds best centre half and relying on two injury prone centre halves and a converted midfielder won't be all that humungous....?

Just had his toe stood on I think.

There was something to be said about the old, old style footie boot!

[sir roger]

Ha Ha. my first pair of boots were a second hand pair of Top Dog rugby boots that I struggled to actually lift my legs with. I used to take the corners for All Saints Anfield under 10's as I was the only one who could get the casey into the area if I got the toe cap in the right place.

We've been horrendous at the back since March with him in the team. Look up the goals conceded numbers, it's not that hard. We can use the time he's out to set up more solid.

People thought I was great at taking corners, it just happened I could only kick it as far as the penalty spot.

We'll be worse off and at both ends...he chips in with about 5 goals a season from corners and has helped transform our stats from them....we were totally hopeless from them before he came....not just the goals he gets from them either, it is also the pressure he creates by winning headers up there/just his presence gives us more.

 

And we will of course be worse off at back especially when as he will Matip goes down again (go and look up how many times he has been injured for us - clue for you, it is a lot) Gomez is not the most robust either.

 

We've got a potential real crisis on our hands back there.

 

I'll have a little bet with you now that at some stage in the not too distant we'll field a centre half pairing made up of two midfielders.

Yes, obviously we'll be worse without him, but we have demonstrably been terrible at the back for months with him in the team, That's a fact. A change of tactics in defense as a result of his absence may not be a bad thing. That's a positive outlook on his injury. 

 

Tell you what, I don't care for your bet because I don't really care if we have a centre back pairing of midfielders, we've done it before. Instead, what you can do is, if next week we concede 8 against Sheffield United as a result of Virgil not being in the team, one more than we conceded against Villa with Virgil in the team, you can come in this thread, tag me, and call me the biggest fucking idiot on planet earth. How's that?

Wish I could say the same, but I have trouble ignoring and not calling out stupidity. I can't promise you I won't keep putting you in my back pocket in the future.

[Grinch]

A midfielder who's played a game and a half is a bigger miss than the best centre back in the world the last few years, hysterical stuff.

And this is why the MF simply can't live with the FF. Top class.

Stacksy works almost as hard in these threads as the Spy does in one on the GF

[Bjornebye]

This lad is seriously class. I actually would have given Henderson MOM yesterday but this lad just oozes it. Not seen such a fine footballer since Alonso.

Not even close. Spy's made that thread and his cause his life. I'm just having an active weekend.

Seems Thiago has escaped serious injury from that mongrels assault yesterday.
