Being furious with a player for being injury prone and being disappointed that a world class player came back from injury and played in a big game. 

 

I'm not furious with him for anything.  I do think he's a soft arse and a bit of a dickhead, and I don't like his effect on the team and wish for him to be nowhere near it.  Though when we were desperate in midfield he was useful at times, but we're not desperate any more and that's why I was disappointed he came on against Arsenal. I suppose we were a bit desperate in that moment.

What effect? The guy is a genuinely world class player who has played for the best clubs in the world.

Do you think he is sat on the side at training eating ice pops and making sarcastic comments when Nunez balloons one over the bar?

He actually appears a bit of a mentor for Darwin, always seems to be next to him on the bench and there was a gif a few months back of Jurgen looking baffled waiting to bring Darwin on and then spotting him with Thiago giving him his instructions. Was quite amusing.

Not going to expose myself by taking shots. Happy to eat ice pops and make sarcastic comments about Nunez for £200k per week though.

Ah, unfortunately that position is reserved for world class. We do have consistent openings for the ballooning role so stay in touch.

[El Rojo]

Anyone else heard the ice pop and sarcastic comments rumours going around?

Ha!

 

Indeed.

 

Sadly they were not accurate.

 

The shout was that he needed about another 600 mins this season to average more mins per season during his time here than Keita did....But the numbers only had Thiago's league mins counted and had all Keita's.

 

Thiago isn't miles ahead mind at all!

I don't know what he's like around the squad or in training.  I'm taking about his effect on the team, i.e. when he plays.

Or more to the point (although not relevant now but it was when we had few decent midfielders) his effect on things because he was rarely available when needed.

No one has more ability than Endo, no one.

He's going to do a Harry Kewell and rock up for our finals this year.

If we go 3-0 down will he ask to be subbed?

Put a fork in him, he's done.

 

The outlook is more negative though, as the Liverpool boss revealed on Tuesday that “there is no timescale” on Thiago’s return. It is a similar issue to the hip injury that kept him out for so long.

 

“I don’t know, to be honest (if he will play again this season),” Klopp said.

 

“It’s a couple of things but what he has to do now from a medical point of view and I don't know if it will mean again if he can play again. It's not a short-term thing and that's why I'm not 100% in it. I'm not sure if it's the same but the region is the same"

It sounds like klopp has at last reached where many of us where months ago. He can't even be arsed checking in on him now.

Well, its not quite pleasant for Klopp to be visiting the morgue frequently...

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

He should just retire with a golden zimmer frame. We’re Heavy Metal he is more Hip Op.

[Ashberry]

The end of contract injury. Happens often, I only remember Emre Can who was ever honest about it. Get injured at this stage and he'll struggle to find another club come summer. He won't be playing for us again.

[Crazy Dave]

Should have been forced out the door in the summer when the Saudi's came calling. £250k a week for somebody who will only play 5 minutes during the entire 2023/2024 season.
