Dion Dublin has said live on Premier League Daily that he feels Liverpool midfielder Thiago is only going to get better in the coming weeks.
Thiago’s influence at Liverpool has not been as great as many predicted since his arrival in the summer, as the Spaniard has suffered badly with injury.
Thiago has barely featured for Liverpool since he arrived, but he is being nursed back to full fitness now.
And Dublin is predicting big things from the former Bayern Munich man in the coming weeks.
“Once we’ve seen him for five, six, seven, eight games in the side he’s going to get better and better,” Dublin said to the programme, which was broadcasted by Premier League Productions.
“He’s not even up to the pace of the game or the Premier League and he’s already standing out.”
Liverpool need Thiago’s quality and creativity right now, as they have recently suffered a dip in form.
The Reds aren’t playing with their usual attacking menace currently, and they have struggled to find a route to goal.
Thiago could help them in that regard, as his passing range should help to unlock opposition defences.
Liverpool are next in action on Sunday, when they take on Manchester United at Anfield.
