Too soon , Sam. He was the victim of a vicious tackle which could happen to any player . Having said that there must be some serious concerns re his knee since he's still not training with the team.
Really hope this doesn't require surgery but if it will correct the problem do it quick. This faffing around with PT seems unproductive at this point.
just frustrated speke. the club should take the Virgil approach - "he's out until we say he isn't so let's all stfu about it". this removes the distraction. then whenever Thiago comes back we can celebrate.
Welcome to World Class: Thiago Alcantara https://www.90min.com/posts/welcome-to-world-class-thiago-alcantara
this confirms what my eyes have been telling me - Thiago's tackling is a huge liability. he needs to cool it! https://www.independent.co.uk/sport...hiago-alcantara-klopp-leicester-b1802178.html Signed to be Liverpool’s playmaker, Thiago has instead emerged as the foulmaker. It is an indication of how Klopp’s best-laid plans have gone awry. Bought to unlock defences, he has instead put his own under greater pressure by conceding free kicks. Only Sadio Mane has been penalised more often, and the Senegalese has played more than twice as many minutes. In the division as a whole, no footballer who has been on the pitch for as few minutes has conceded more free kicks. All of which feels a little out of character – Thiago never fouled at such a rate for Barcelona or Bayern Munich – for a passer hired more for his constructive than destructive abilities.
I feel Thiago is still coming to terms with the speed of the English game and at the moment he's still a step off the pace at times especially with his tackling.
He needs to STOP that "outside of the foot challenge around the player" tackle that he clearly thinks is OK...but has been called more than a couple times, and resulted in at least two yellow cards... Not only does it result in a foul, but he's gonna hurt himself with it if he continues...
agree 100%. that looks to me like he's done it successfully for years but has now lost a half-second.
