Sure, it's rather silly and childish to gloat after an alleged bad game, but I still fail to grasp why people shouldn't be allowed to be angry and disappointed with Thiago. Most of us expected him to be Xavi's heir, and when it turned out he didn't have the same loyalty and love for our club (not disregarding the terrible handling by the board and coach, this is still what is ultimately boils down to), it's only natural to react with some degree of spite and loathing.
Sure, I know some of you would rather take the moral high road, and look at this in all manners of rational ways, but that's the thing, this is football, it's not supposed to be rational or pragmatic. Fuck it, how can you even be a fan of a specific team, if you insist on being rational about it? This is all about emotions, and some of us see Thiago as a villain because he didn't turn out to be what we had hoped. No, it probably isn't entirely fair - or even remotely fair, perhaps - but it's nonetheless still a natural reaction when we're dealing with something as filled with emotions as it's the case with team based sports such as football.

Bad game against MC?? From my perspective, watching the first half he is miles above most of Bayern players at positioning himself to safely receive the ball as well as seeing the options. He receives the ball with room to move/turn/pass- the other Bayern players let themselves be more closely marked.
Observation: the player who looks the most out of place in Pep's Bayern is Muller. He has never had a great touch, and I can't see him anywhere but as a #9. Not good enough for Pep's midfield. On the other hand, I expect Robben to excel this year under Pep's tactics. A more controlled passing game suits him.
Hes already back in training but one part of it,in some days he participate in full training.I see him having big role in build up in attacks,as we saw in Real-Borussia in the Bernabeu they were tottaly different without him,not the same movement upfront,only Reus could bring it well forward.Muller's crossing is outstanding, same with Lahm. The cross to Mandzukic will (again) be Bayern's most significant attacking weapon. In terms of build up, a long ball to Mandzukic (whose hold up play is great) seems to always lead to Bayern's best attacking moments. Let's see if Gotze can change that. Can't wait for him to return from injury

Thiago should not be the one getting the hate. People are hating on and blaming the wrong people here.
As Flavia said, Tito, Zubi and Rosell are the ones to be pissed at. They're the ones who made him leave, after all.
I understand your points, but still can't agree with you. It's not about moral high ground. He was mishandled by the club management and left. If there's anyone to be mad about, to me it'd be tito, zubi and rosell. I would only be mad at thiago if he had left to rm.
I see what you're saying, but had he only had the patience of Iniesta and Xavi, we wouldn't even be having this discussion now. To me, this is clearly a short sighted choice by him, where we values WC14 higher than a very plausible life time career with Barcelona. Hence my disappointment with him.
