Player Valuation: £80m
big difference between less of a priority and not interested though mate - im sure he still wanted to win v RM, but if you look at thiago who probably doesnt have the legs for 4 games in 11 days or whatever he felt the most efficient way of using him was in the league.
Fair enough mate, point taken.
If that's his view, it seems odd to me.
I can completely understand him prioritising games. I can also understand rotating Thiago. Surely with a player like that, you play him in Europe which is most suited to his game. Modric and Kroos are not going to run all over him. You use his experience and knowhow in those big games.
If he has prioritised the league game ahead of the 1st leg, and felt hes better suited to the English league rather than the CL, it feels like 2 very odd decisions to me.
I was open enough to say I felt Madrid would go through, but it was the perfect moment for Liverpool to play them. I cant see why you would not play Thiago. Surely when you bring him in, you have these big European away games in mind?
