Thiago to Liverpool: A Possibility or a Necessity

How can you improve a team which dominated the whole league last season? If we look at Liverpool’s team, there is a gaping hole in midfield. They are in dire need of a creative midfielder. 

If you watch any of Liverpool’s matches you’ll make out that Liverpool have only one plan. With two energetic full backs running down the wings providing crossing. The wingers Salah and Mane move inwards with Firmino dropping deep. But, they do not have a plan B. If a team plays a low block then they can give Liverpool a hard time. 

 

They have Naby Keita as a creative midfielder and although he has performed well at the end of the season his form isn’t anywhere near what he showed at Leipzig. Liverpool don’t have a back-up in this position. The biggest problem is that he gets injured far too often. 

Here, we can suggest an alternative in Thiago Alcantara of Bayern Munich. For £30 million he would be a steal. The best thing is that he would be an upgrade on Naby Keita and he doesn’t get injured as often. He is a technically brilliant player and no one in the current Liverpool team can match those abilities. He would be the plan B and the piece Jurgen Klopp needs to complete his jigsaw. 

 

We have seen, whenever Neco Williams plays instead of Trent or Milner in place of Robertson or when their first choice front three is replaced, in either case, Liverpool lose their potency going forward. With midfielders such as Henderson and Fabinho, who are great for the system but not creative enough, the services of Thiago would be needed to unlock defences in tight matches. 

 

 

 

We feel that Thiago for Liverpool, more than a possibility should be a necessity.
