Thiago Translantara

[Galning]

The things I am reading nowadays... wow.

 

[zanela]

He got balls to try something but not really successfull in his actions which is a liability when we want to keep possession. Too flashy when its not needed.

You're describing Thiago pre-2011-12. His game's matured a lot since the u21s Euros . Not a liability anymore, rather he's constraining himself a bit too much of late.

Agreed. I'm a huge fan, but just like most of us I never believed he'd mature so quickly

 

[Yaotzin]

Thiago:
Average passes per game:72.5
Pass Succes:93.7%(1019/1088)

Yep. That's the best pass rate in Europe.

If anything he's too conservative, but that's definitely the right side to err on for a young player.

Should have started today

Should have started today

Without a doubt, I wanted to see him on the left wing a la Ronaldinho. If not should have definitely played in midfield.

Funny because when Thiago came on he did nada...

I think it's team he should have a run in the first XI, no point using Cesc in midfield, he sucks there, Thiago--Busquets--Xavi

Since the league is lost already, we really should give some youngsters more play time in La Liga. The opportunity doesn't come often that we can afford to play youngstars in La Liga. Since we're not winning it this season though, use it for the kids! Tello, Montoya, Bartra, Thiago all in the starting XI in the next La Liga game!

 

[gingerless]

yep, get the kids to play for the rest of the season and prepare them so we can win the league next season

DO EEEEEEEEEEET

This.

 

[Youngie]

Yeah when I was on the chat last night it was all "bring on Thiago he'll change the game". Sorry but he did nothing.

La Liga

Barcelona's new wonderkid, of which there are set to be many, Thiago Alcantara has the best success rate in a division including Messi, having completed 70% of his dribble attempts thus far (16/23). Madrid left-back Marcelo is not far behind (69%) and certainly trumps teammate Cristiano Ronaldo, whose stats are somewhat unbelievable.

He came in late, it takes time to adjust to the tempo of a game.

Excuses, excuses...
