This is the Deluded Reds podcast. The episodes here are candid conversations between us (2 Kopites) and our friends and family about Liverpool and Football in general. We're primarily Liverpool fans based out of Bangalore, India. But, we do football-talk in general by interviewing fans with diverse following/interests.
Thiago or Nothing! - How important is Thiago to our quadruple hopes?
In this episode, we talk about the impact Thiago Alcantara has had at Liverpool. Thiago put in 3 MOTM performances in the space of 10 days - twice against Manchester City and once against Manchester United (and also Everton). In these matches, he completely dominated the midfield with sublime touches, silky smooth passes, exquisite vision, perfect tackles, and most of all - Elite Gameplay.
This is the kind of eliteness & technical gameplay that is possessed only by the best players in the world. The likes of - Iniesta, Pirlo, Modric, Xabi Alonso, among others.
In this episode, we deep dive into how he compares against other Liverpool greats, and midfield elites from the past. And how important he will be to this great Liverpool team if they are to win the Quadruple!
Bonus: An interesting discussion for Liverpool fans - do you think he will make it into the PL TOTY or CL TOTY? And if so, under what circumstances will he make it? (as PL winner? Or as a CL winner? Or as Quadruple winner?)
