Paul Pogba on Liverpool star Thiago
Pogba said, as transcribed by Football Italia: “They are not containment midfielders and they are not number 10s.
“They are the box-to-box ones, who make the play, who make assists and who can score – Kroos, Verratti and Thiago Alcantara, but also Pirlo, Scholes and Carrick.”
Classy player
In our view, Thiago Alcantara is a very classy player who has done well for Liverpool when he has been fit.
And that has been the main problem for the former Barcelona star at Liverpool so far.
Injuries.
Liverpool signed Thiago from Bayern in September 2020 for £20 million (BBC Sport).
The 31-year-old has made only 57 appearances in the Premier League so far for the Reds.
He has scored two goals and created six big chances.
Thiago has made eight appearances in the Premier League for Liverpool so far this season.
The Liverpool no. 6 has made three starts and two substitute appearances in the UEFA Champions League for Jurgen Klopp’s side so far this campaign.
If Thiago stays fit, then he will be a massive for Liverpool this season, as the Merseyside club aim to finish in the top four of the Premier League table as well as win the UEFA Champions League.
