Thiago held the midfield together when we had no centre-backs or central midfielders for months. While Alisson got us into the Champions League, we wouldn’t have stood a chance without Thiago during that period.
A terrible signing overall, no doubt, but his contributions during those three or four months were crucial in securing Champions League revenue. It's like arguing who's shit smells sweeter, but I have Keita as far worse. The most he gave us a MOTM against Crystal Palace and a fan a new football in the CL final.

Even within that category there are levels. Nunez doesn't really deserve to be hit with the same label as Keita.
Played well in that game against Barcelona!!!
Thiago is one the best midfielders I've ever seen play for Liverpool.
Won us the game against Man U
He was never fit and that was entirely predictable when we signed him. It was a stupid signing.
So, 2 good performances in 3 seasons is the benchmark?
That rolling a foot over the ball was never bettered.
Don't bring me into this, I'm just trying to give him a little boost.
I don't think he did actually.
I watched the entire game back a few years ago and he was pretty poor.
The commentary was extremely critical of him throughout the game, or at least until he put in that cracker of a cross for Gini's second goal
You brought yourself in 🤣
Still better than anything Diaz has delivered in highlight games.
That first time cross off a Trent long ball dropping perfectly for Mo on a fast break against West Ham.
Wand of a left peg, no idea why he didn't do more for us.
Actually he didn’t even play all that well, I thought - just put in a good cross at a key moment. His contribution is akin to Smicer in Istanbul for me.
No he wasn't.
Only if it's an "injury". He looked fine though.
Most talented, yes. Best, certainly not in a Liverpool kit.
While insisting his game continues to improve, Gravenberch has spoken of the difficulties he has experienced in recent months.
"Still going strong, but to be honest it's really tough as well," he said. "Last season I didn't play a lot and now I played almost every single game. It's tough but I still keep going.
"My game has developed a lot this season. At the beginning of the new season I had to adapt to the new position, I didn't play a lot there (beforehand) but now I know what I have to do. The manager also fully trusted me there so I'm really happy with that.
"When you play there you receive a lot of balls and that's what I needed, to be in my comfort (zone) and break through the lines and open up in the play.
"Last season my role was an eight, sometimes a 10. Then the manager came in and I had a conversation with him, he wanted to try me as a six. I felt the trust from him and we've played 33 games and he's put me in for all 33, so that's a lot of trust!
"Now I don't get the ball as much, they (opponents) know how we play and they want to close the middle. It makes it a little bit difficult for me but I have to find the way through. That's what I do."
