What do you get when you take a 32-year-old midfielder, whose career has been plagued by injuries, in a team that desperately needed options in the middle and struggled badly last campaign? For now, options thank god. A month ago or so, there were real concerns about when and how Jurgen Klopp would utilise Thiago […]
In the happiest of ways at the moment, Liverpool seem to like certain midfielders who have a set release clause in the contract. With Dominik Szobozlai set to join Alexis Mac Allister at Anfield any day now, the Reds will have already spent a cool £95 million or so with the window having only just […]
Despite the superb and exciting new role being undertaken by Trent Alexander Arnold, we must consider the inevitable periods that the revitaliSed England star will not be available next season. Though I am reluctant to pigeonhole our Spanish master, Thiago Alcântara, as a backup to anyone, I do feel that we must be selective in […]
Liverpool FC and the Future of Thiago Alcântara In the world of football, players come and go, but only a few make an indelible impact. One such player is Thiago Alcântara. The highly skilled and tenacious midfielder has shown his class time and time again, but his future at Anfield has recently come under speculation. […]
Steven Gerrard & Thiago are two Liverpool names that spring to mind, when considering players that Liverpool became too over-reliant upon.

I keep reading this last week how Barcelona is expressing a desire to recruit their former player, Thiago Alcântara. Having left the Nou Camp in 2013, he did so in order to fully establish himself as one of Europe’s leading midfielders. As an academy product, he had the world class trio of Xavi, Andrés Iniesta, […]
It wasn’t the greatest surprise but it still wasn’t great to hear the news on Tuesday night that Thiago Alcantara’s season is over as he requires surgery on his hip. The Spanish maestro had been working himself back to fitness for the umpteenth time with Jurgen Klopp introducing him for small but consistent cameos in […]
Thiago Operation Booked This Week – Blow To Reds’ Season Climax As Liverpool’s season reaches its climax, their midfield maestro Thiago finds himself cruelly ruled out for the remainder of the campaign. The Spaniard has succumbed to a persistent hip injury, necessitating a minor surgical intervention to address the issue. Thus, Liverpool faithful must resign […]
Thiago hasn’t been Jurgen Klopp’s most disappointing midfielder. Sorry Tony, but using assists to judge creativity just isn’t for me. Ref. Tony Evans Column – Thiago is Klopp’s Most Disappointing Midfielder I do, however, think our use of the Spanish playmaker has been one of the most disappointing things of the Klopp era at Anfield […]
