The Reds have struggled to produce this season, but the German insists that has nothing to do with the highly-rated summer signing
Jurgen Klopp has said that any comments suggesting that Thiago Alcantara has had anything to do with Liverpool’s poor form this year are simply “rubbish”.
Thiago prospered as part of a reshaped midfield that helped the Reds to a 2-0 second-leg victory over RB Leipzig on Wednesday night, with Fabinho’s return to the centre of the pitch allowing the Spaniard to operate with more freedom.
It had been suggested in some quarters that the former Bayern Munich man’s style of play was not suited to Liverpool’s game, but Klopp insists those accusations are wide of the mark.
