Thiago Translantara

[Barcafan 2304]

Great performance. Cesc+Xavi+Thiago on the pitch at the same time

It was mate. Hopefully, in Iniesta's absence, we will see regular starts for Thiago

Well, Pep is surely shutting down all the people who claimed that Thiago is done with Cesc's signing.

3 starts in 3 La Liga games - well, I guess he's NOT done yet.

Nice performance by Thiago. He seems to have matured very quickly and stopped his "silly" moves he used to do last season.

I am sure Xavi and Iniesta put some sense into him.

Was always a rather silly view

He had some absolutely brilliant moments against Osasuna with his dribbling, but to be honest there was a time during the match that I thought to myself, where is Thiago? It seemed like he didn't touch the ball much during the match. Or at least wasn't directly involved with any of our top scoring chances. Or maybe I'm just not paying attention enough

He did float in and out of the game but that's natural with xavi there, since he'll dominate touches on the ball. He was directly involved with Cesc's goal, it was his pass Cesc chested down to messi

 

[Barcafan 2304]

Get what your saying but was still at the hub of a lot of good things. Noticed his control and distribution was pretty good to

We'll see how that goes as the season unfolds, but these starts can give him the stability, motivation and confidence he needs to develop into the beast we all expect...

 

[Barcafan 2304]

he long term successor to Xavi, not Cesc

If only there had been a few of us on here saying this would be the case.

 

[soarq]

No fireworks but good performance. Didn't give away easy balls like he used to do before.

 

[FCBarca]

I actually really liked how he played, quietly effective & then on occasion flicking a gorgeous pass...Very subtle but influential nevertheless

 

[soxrtdc]

Agreed. One must walk before they can run. This was a very solid performance and I think we can expect the spectacular to follow shortly.

 

[SwiftGuyver]

overall i'd say it was his most solid and convincing performance with the first team so far...

it looks like he is starting to cut those silly little mistakes out of his game and is learning when to pull off some magic and when to keep it simple...

 

[oz187]

Thiago was very good. He's got some great ability to retain the ball like Iniesta and some of his passing is very incisive.
