Thiago not impressed these fans
“I love Thiago but he doesn’t add anything to that game. Gives away silly fouls which end up to cost us a goal today. Something needs to change #LFC”
“Absolutely awful. Nothing in the final third, Thiago nonexistent except petty poor tackles. Jones best player on pitch hauled off. Then Allison, well. No desire. #LFC”
“Thiago is more of a liability through his defending than a benefit through his attacking at the moment. #liverpool #lfc”
“This season shows how good VVD really is. Also, Thiago has been a disaster. Bayern is better without him, #LFC is garbage with him. He has no place in this squad and they don’t know how to play with him. #YNWA”
“It really pains me to say this too: Thiago has been nothing short of a disaster so far for #LFC, a complete liability. I’m sure he will come good but at the moment he is costing us games.”
“Thiago is the most overhyped player we have ever signed not having any of him #LFC”
