Thiago Alcantara

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

My late Dad always spoke highly of all them players and of Frank Swift, Who before that batch of City stars. he was my father‘s first hero. He used to wax lyrical about the fact the Frank could pickup the ball in his massive right hand and throw it like a tennis ball half the length of Maine Road. His big hero was Bert though.

Mine, too. Loved the guy.

Gundogan is just as good.

 

[Grealish’s Shinpads]

Great player but will he have the legs to play in their system? Very unlikely unless he’s miraculously diagnosed with asthma next week.

Laugh as much as you want He is. The last international showed what Gundogan is still capable of. We will see how many games Thiago will play.

That was a friendly where players hardly tried.

Try the Lyon match for a better example of what he is like.

We were a Sterling miss away from taking the game to penalties.

If’s, but’s, maybe’s.

Fact is Gundogan was taken to the butchers shop by Aouar who Thiago then schooled in the semi.

Bayern didn't really miss Thiago

I don't get the hate with Gundogan

He's slow, he's weak, he's lazy, has no real strengths other than recycling the ball either sideways or backwards, and yet he's an absolute Pep favourite.

That should explain it.

Alcantara isn't much better in that regard.

Thiago is much, much better in every regard. I question if you've actually seen the guy play at all.
