Jermaine Jenas has said on BT Sport 1 (7;47pm, December 16, 2021) that Thiago Alcantara has made Liverpool a better team in the middle of the park.
The former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder is a big fan of Thiago, and believes that the former Bayern Munich star has made Liverpool much better in midfield.
Liverpool paid Bayern £20 million in the summer of 2020 to sign Thiago (BBC Sport).
Praise for Liverpool’s Thiago Alcantara
Jenas said about Thiago: “He has added a new dimension, in my opinion, to this Liverpool team. They have had passers in there before, but not a passer like this.”
Growing in importance
Thiago made a mistake for Liverpool against Newcastle United on Thursday evening.
The Spain international did not have the best of games against Newcastle.
Liverpool, though, still won.
We simply cannot ignore the sheer class of Thiago.
In our opinion, Jenas is right about the 30-year-old.
Based on pure quality, finesse and class, Thiago is the best central midfielder Liverpool have got at the moment.
The former Barcelona star plays brilliant short passes, excellent long passes, and controls the tempo of the game.
We think that Liverpool are going to see the best of Thiago his season.
The 30-year-old had injury problems last season, but he is now fit and showing what he is capable of.
