Hmm maybe Jordan would have played 6. Thiago and Baj in front. Or Baj as the 6. Any of those 3 in any combo would be better than Fab in the team.

At 2-0 up, I was thinking that if we had Thiago we would have buried Real by HT.
Therein lies the crux of the matter. He is perennially unavailable
No. This is only Stefanās second game further forward. When Thiago returns, Fabinho drops out and Baj drops back into the six.

Thiago: 93 games 6456 mins since 2020
Keita: 128 games, 6420 mins since 2018
AOC: 144 games, 6493 mins, since 2017
I think Stefan has to go back to the number 6

Yeah, it was wonderful to look at our workhorse defensively astute midfield last night.
Couldnāt bloody retain the ball after our boner start went dead and Modric started orchestrating the thing at 37-year of age.
They were meal, desert and glass of red wine for Real Madrid.

At the moment Bajectic is ahead of Fabinho, it seems Henderson and Fabinho are the two battling it out when Thiago is fit.
itās looking pretty blatantly obvious at this point, the massive gulf in energy in the midfield this year is very indicative of the results we will obtain on the scoreboard.
When you need someone like Jones to step in at 55min and relieve the captainās tired legs, heās not game ready.
What I donāt understand is while Thiago is out injured, how does Keita not get a minute

Nothing but love for Thiago (the human being that is. Not the footballer 
)

Just sayingā¦
You are 100% correct on all counts.
Definitely great performances considering we were without Thiago, the best midfielder around.
Could have been 10 on Sunday if he was playing.
Fair dues @GermanRed.
You are good at this!
We missed him in the second part of the first half. Needed someone to regain control and bring the ball out from the back. Hopefully heās back soon.

Alisson 1.71 PPG, Kelleher 2 PPG, Adrian 3 PPG. Clearly Alisson is the problem. Adrian should be our first choice. We always win when heās played this season.

Really missed the best midfielder in the league today.
Heād surely know how to break down the worst team in the league.
The mental gymnastics you go through to find a way to criticize a player who isnāt currently playing no matter what results weāre getting would be impressive if they werenāt so embarrassing.

You are almost as bad as another of our supporters so so blinkered in regards to Thiago, he would have helped us as no one in our midfield could pass through their press on the half way line.
I apologize for trying to be serious and funny at the same time.
Today was definitely the kind of opponent Thiago would have helped but we saved our season in recent weeks without him and i stand by my opinion that some of those would not have been possible with him.
