Two New Signings, Two Statement Victories - September 2020, The Month That Was
THIAGO ... THIAGO ALCANTARA!!! The summer's most anticipated, or drawn out, depending on your point of view, transfer has been complete. News broke late of an evening that Liverpool had agreed a fee for Spanish midfield wizard Thiago Alcantara, and while we had long expected Thiago Thursday we instead got Thiago Friday. And fucking hell, it was fun. But before we start drooling over him again, let's go back to the start of the month.

Liverpool are currently dealing with an unfounded narrative. The champions may have a 100% record in the Premier League but there’s a feeling they’ve been fortunate in …
Thiago Could Have Lessons For Liverpool's Jones
For an incalculable number of reasons, the signing of Thiago Alcantara is a huge boost for Liverpool.
On the pitch, off the pitch, for dressing room morale and from a marketability viewpoint, the 29-year-old Spaniard could -- and should -- prove an extremely valuable acquisition for the Reds.
But perhaps the biggest impact that the former FC Bayern midfield linchpin could have is on the young players in the English Champions' squad, especially the likes of Curtis Jones.

Liverpool responded immediately, however. Sadio Mané provided the finish after some brilliant work from Mohamed Salah, cutting in from the right-hand side. Robertson then atoned for his earlier mistake by giving The Reds the lead before half time. Substitute Diogo Jota …
