I thought he was our saviour, very harsh booking and commentator mentioned he could have had a second.

Not sure why direct criticism is not allowed in Thiagoās case. Why shouldnāt he also be expected to up his game defensively?
A penalty conceded against Chelsea and a really poorly-timed tackle leading to a yellow card yesterday. (Putting aside the non-foul that lead to their goal)
Canāt shake the fact that is played for Bayer Nahā¦ 
We are extremely lucky that he wanted to come here, he is one of the best midfielders in the world.

Harsh considering heās played for how many minutes in the PL?
I donāt think he got a lot of help from Ox in particular but Gini didnāt exactly shine either in the first 20 of yesterdays game.

Just back after a serious injury he needs a bit of time surely? Plus heās coming into the side when itās playing as badly as it has done in 3 or 4 seasons.

Weāre questioning his defensive game as a whole because of a penalty and a yellow card? Sure, heās been a bit too eager in some of those challenges, but come on. Last night in the first half he had a few iffy moments, but then again took over in the second half and made us play well. We lacked more quality in the final third, thatās where weāre forcing it too much at the moment.

Whoa everybody calm down. Read my post again.
If the whole team fails to pin down opponents we wonāt get the best out of Thiago.
With that said. He arrived late. Had no pre season. Was injured.
Letās give him time.
But do we have time? The ManU game is one where we will need him at his best. Letās see.

It took Mariner less than 5 minutes to book Thiago. It was for a nothing foul and he couldnāt wait to do it. I think this had an effect on Thiagoās game, he knew then Mariner was waiting for the opportunity to send him off.

Itās not luck, though. He is obviously a very good player. There are a lot of reasons we wanted him here and a lot of reasons he wanted to come here. āLuckā isnāt involved.
Spurs would be lucky to have him.

Of course he wanted to sent him off. Suspension would have been for the ManU game.
Neco was also booked very early in a game a few weeks ago.
Nonsense to do that. Embarrassing refereeing in England, really.

Tough first half, good second half. Once again played a number of passes that opened the opposition up but our full backs and forwards couldnāt make the most of.
If you play Chamberlain in the midfield the ā6ā is going to suffer, it was like playing with 10 men until he went off. What heās done to deserve a start is beyond me.

I doubt it he committed three fouls later in the game if his opinion was to send him off he could do, however the yellow card did lead to him being restrictive for the rest of the game so in that itās job done.

Yeah Iāll be the first to say I couldnāt have been more wrong about how that midfield combination was going to play together. Iām a big fan of Ox but it was like he was playing in an entirely different match than everyone else.

Heās a morale booster (jester) in the dressing room, or otherwise arse licks Klopp. Have written him off.

Yep didnāt help he was basically rush defended by a freakishly good pressing side. Tough one to come back into cold.
His position for most of the game was about 15 yards behind where he should be playing also, more like a 3rd CB.
