Upon his return from injury in late December, Liverpool soon entered a run of poor results and the blame was quickly passed in the direction of the Reds’ summer signing.
Questioned for his ability to adapt to the Premier League and effectively play a part in Klopp’s system, doubts were being raised over the club’s summer purchase.
Former Liverpool midfielder Dietmar Hamman claimed Thiago “slowed” the team down and was not suited to the way the Reds play– a view that was also shared by John Barnes.
The former Barcelona midfielder ended the season strongly to help Klopp’s side secure a third-placed finish, in what had been a season of constant disruptions.
Key players will have returned for the Reds in time for next campaign, providing Thiago with the platform required to shine in his central role.
Gini Wijnaldum’s summer departure has all but confirmed that the Spaniard will be featuring on a consistent basis during the 2021/22 season and is likely to bring out the best in the midfield maestro.
People may well have been too quick to write off Thiago, a player who has only ever known success at club level.
