Thiago should just retire. It's getting silly

Telegraph too. 

 

Hands up those who are shocked. 

 

What a fucking waste of time he is.

Just popped in to see if Thiago was injured yet.

 

Yep!

Thiago Alcântara injured again after first Liverpool appearance in 10 months | Liverpool | The Guardian

Still though, what a 10 minutes it was.

Yeah, his body is clearly fucked.

 

I'm not even sure if he'd be able to play MLS, Qatar, Saudi level retirement football leagues any more?

A million a minute are his wages for the season so far!

[Einch]

I’m shocked. 

[LFC 6 Times]

Embarrassing.

Give him another couple of training sessions and im sure he'll deliver.

 

Hopefully a much shorter layoff for Szmith than was claimed though.

 

I hate that I was right but you cant do anything but laugh.

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

He’s been an absolute Rolls Royce of a player for us, at times.
 

Sadly, it was too often like this though…

[Tj hooker]

Can't we just keep him for spare parts now its getting silly

That'd just be the brain then

[an tha]

An absolute joke.

 

But lets be honest anyone with even the tiniest bit of a clue knew it would happen before long - has to be said even for him this is quick.

Pace?

You're kidding right.

 

The couple things Dom has brought in spades - which is exactly what we were missing ( and are integral to any top midfielder) - has not been mentioned in your list.

 

Yes, pace.

 

Trent is quite quick as evidenced on recovery runs or counter attacks. Not sure how you've missed that after watching this team for more than 5 years. Let me jog your memory with a clear recent example. When Salah broke for the 5 v 2 counter attack vs Arsenal at Anfield, who bust a gut to get up alongside him before unfortunately hitting the crossbar?

 

And I'm sorry if I expect my attacking midfielder to have attacking attributes which can help us win games more often than not. Thankfully he also isn't injury prone like certain "top midfielders" we have in the squad.

He'll run like that if there's a chance for him to score. Not certain he'd run like that if it was to chase an attacker he was supposed to be marking.

[TheHowieLama]

Mate - he is done for pace regularly. He is neither pacier, nor quicker, or stronger than Dom.

Forget about workrate, tenacity, tight control. Midfieldy stuff.

The "attacking" mid in question has scored twice in 30 games this year.

 

Said before I hope he becomes a top midfielder - by any estimation that has not yet happened and is based mostly on hope rather than evidence.

 

He is in a great place if he wants to prove he can play midfield - we need another good one and he will get plenty of support even if he is trash for awhile.

Don't fancy him trying to do the same at another club tbh.

Thiago picked up muscle injury versus Arsenal apparently.

 

I always struggle getting those training tops over my head and off.

[BeefStroganoff]

Think this season is my last, like Thiago. This Club is totally bonkers and i dont want to suffer a heart attack through seething rage at how we are run.

 

At this stage im convinced they get the lads to run through a tunnel of kicks or a game of whip up in training.

Agreed, it was definitely bonkers to sign an already injury prone 29 year old on 200k p/w or whatever it is in hindsight.

[Barrington Womble]

Echo are reporting as expected thiago and Dom missed training, but Salah missed (I didn't know he was due back) as did Gomez. 

 

On the plus side Kostas is back in full training.

We’re top of the league and still alive in three cup competitions. I’d keep the seething rage for next season.

 

FSG would be brilliant owners in a sport where rules were enforced. The only alternative now is being a state’s PR exercise.

Gomez is well overdue a period out.

 

He has been superb in covering different roles this season and i'd be gutted for hin if he had broken down again.

Yeah he has.

 

If he is injured now he's even timed that well as we should have all fullbacks available very soon.

Beef just longs for a time when 90% of English clubs were run by alcoholics and there was no foreign investment in football.
