Thiago can cover many midfield positions.He can play deep holding.,he can make the play, prompting,probing. Younger players can learn from him. Type of player most top clubs need. As it's played out from the back, he can link the play up. play little balls in between the lines, through the line of the centre circle. Instinctively knows the better pass.

Not necessarily a first choice but a very valuable asset to the squad
Lol.
Absolutely first choice if fit. It’s not even a close debate.
 
Kind of the opposite of Lucas really, who you might wish would get injured, but almost never did.
True. But they have the same average number of good performances per season. Same goals scored too. Granted we had one useless twat a lot longer.
 
Lets hope Jota is okay, and that its only a knock to the knee.
He played 15 mins after the collision, but did look in some pain.
 
Jota’s goal had shades of Firmino against Arsenal when he left half the team on their arse with some sexy footwork and composure.

Haha yeah. Not sure how anyone can not think he's a definite starter when fit. Superb link up play today, such quick feet and classy passing. Made one noticeable error and should also have done better with one attack in the penalty box. 8/10 performance.

Nah Lucas didn't have anywhere close to as many. Unless you are suggesting Lucas had a lot more than most give credit for? :D

He had that spell where he got the wonderman nickname. Something like 12 games.
 
Have to say I thought Tsimikas was great, and I’d be happy with Klopp letting him continue against Southampton.

Yep. He is clearly in better form than Robbo at the moment. He had another excellent game yesterday and deserves to keep his place. Competition should do Robbo some good.

The rest he’s getting should pay dividends. He’s played more than anyone else over the past 3 seasons hasn’t he?
 
Thiago looked better yesterday because he won the ball a few times. The problem is he keeps hold of it a second too long so he's often in danger of losing it again. And it takes him an extra moment to pass the ball because he's got a weird way of kicking the thing, a kind of showboat touch that makes you think Zoolander has learned to play footy. Until you see Arteta's hair and think, nope, that's Zoolander.
 
Arsenal were really awful yesterday. They totally lacked ambition and clearly came with the intention of playing for a draw and maybe sneaking a win.
They were clearly afraid of a tonking. As Lucas would say. "Unluckeeeeee"
It seems that Arteta has learned some Guardiola tricks when it comes to overthinking games and not letting his team play their natural game.
Though it could be argued that being spineless bottlers is precisely Arsenal's natural game.

He can't play holding midfielder. He struggled there last year. He looks excellent when Fab is holding
 
Taki heat map for his goal:

Superb performance all things considered.

Front 3 score, Thiago reminds all the bellends calling him the Spanish Lucas that’s he’s our best CM when fit. He’s so crucial if we want to win anything this season.
The Greek has really stepped up after a rubbish first season where he looked a waste of money.
Robbo should have to earn his spot back.
Loving Mane’s return to form, goal and an assist.
TAA is just outrageous - betting on him getting multiple assists should be much shorter odds!
Delighted for Ox and Minimino too and well played Becker, a couple of smart saves.
All in all a great weekend.

The Greek looked a waste of money and rubbish in his first season where he made a sub appearance against Man City when we were getting beat 4-1 with 5 minutes left?

Ok....
