    Thiago is the best midfielder in the world. Period.

    U just use that data and say he's the best? What about guys like kroos and modric? U saying he's better? I know he's a baller but that chart is not the be all and end all

    Per stats are overrated imo as they are guesswork for a percentage of results and an average

    he's easily better than kroos, modric has been great for a long time, so there is definitely and argument there.

    Having Bayern vs. Real Madrid in the quarter-finals ruins it. that should be the final imho. Juve even with Allegri aren't good enough yet to win it, and I detest Barca.

    not to be a pedant, but we reached the q/f in 2010 and lost to Barca.

    The data confirms what the eyes see. Thiago is a baller (and I've said this for a long time). He's what we wish Xhaka would become.

    Different player from Kroos though - Kroos is who we'd wish Ramsey became. Modric is a great player, but also not as good as he once was, and I'd never call a former Sper best at anything.

    Xhaka and Thiago are two different central midfielders who take up two different positions on the pitch.

    Kroos is used more like how Xhaka is at Madrid.

    Thiago is a much better version of Santi.

    I'm okay with Xhaka not dribbling that much for instance.

    Think that is a bit overexcited

    Let's make that call once he has some signature performances in big games?

    Kroos has multiple seasons of high performance which Thiago does not yet have

    For me Thiago has to produce some of this form against euro elite before he can even be mentioned in a Kroos discussion

    Chelsea and Leicester doing what they need to do. To just squeak out a victory. Both impressive. Both deserving.

    Remember when we used to do that?

    Meanwhile Everton has drawn level with us on points.

    Of these literally only Cole has had a period of play as good in another shirt as he had in an Arsenal one. Yes, all those players won trophies, but none of them were individually better than when they played for Arsenal
