I love watching him play, but the injuries are frustrating and wouldn't mind more energy (he is what he is)
On Thiago i'm sort of with @fool as i think he is very easy on the eye but not much end result and just cannot take the demands of the PL but having said that if fit he plays .
He doesn't offer a lot in terms of end product but he makes the pass that makes the end product possible (if that makes sense)
Looks at xavi and iniesta stats across their careers. Nothing special but arguebly two of greatest midfielders of last 30 years. But we in England see Deli Ali score 15 goals from midfield and put him above anyone else. It’s why we don’t often produce players like thisgo, xavi, because so much focus is on the numbers
Not sure that’s accurate. Would make it 2-2 on aggregate with Ajax and they’d go through in away goals if things were level.
