Pre Match | Aston Villa vs. Liverpool | FA Cup Third Round | Friday January 8th 19:45h GMT | Villa Park

you hurried reading my comment mate. Thiago’s role was same as Xabi at bayern. Both were players who would dictate the play, when to change the momentum of the game and both offered protection to the defence as well .
However, Thiago is our team is all about someone who can open up the opposition with his balls between the channels mostly. I think we will have Fab there instead to offer protection of the defence.

Ah ha…they will probably release an upgrade of Premium Chants for 39.90

We certainly have a few players who have been off form for a long time or maybe just are not good enough.
Decent win though I suppose.

Agree.
I think fab is going to be a CB till both VVD and gomez are back.
Or maybe when matip is fit and one of VVD gomez is back…

He just lifts us and players trust that if they move right he will pick them out.

Agree, but I take comfort in the fact that a lot of things can theoretically happen in 9 days. It is not an unreasonable idea that more of our key players find form.

Once jota is back and alcantara stays fit, we would be very hard to beat.
Dont know whats up mo and bobby. Haven’t been the same recently…

I’d like to see Fab stay where he is and partner Virg with Thiago ahead of them. Hard on Joe but he has zero goal threat and has less ability to read the game than Mr Tavares.

Klopp doesn’t see the risk-reward equation the same way as we do.

exactly this!!
