lucky he didn't go to Tottenham in the summer... i wouldn't want any ex-Juventus player to be at a bottom of the table club... except maybe Ibrahimovic and the likes...
hope he improves on this performance... especially because we need someone who can pass a bit in the middle and today Tiago showed glimpses of his skill... if the board decides against bringing in reinforcements in the winter and if Zanetti remains injured, an in form Tiago will do us wonders...

i say ur a fukwit who likes to jump on the bandwagon. oh i like him when he plays good and i hate him when he plays bad...?? u dumbshit, stick to riding your camels or whatever u do.
omg please ban this dick head.. YOU ARE AN IDIOT!! :melayyanandmessi:

its good to finally see him play well! i wonder what it was that provoked his good form.. seeing as i only saw parts of the game, did he fill that creative void we had? It would be nice to stop searching for a creative CM

no, he did not. just the fact that everybody expected him to play much worse, does not make this appearance a glorious moment of football.

he did really only one remarkable pass, which marchionni missed (that pass was good, not great, but good).

the other passes got to their target most of the time, so for tiago standards that was great, but not for someone who is deemed a creative playmaker.

lost the ball a few times because he is just so slow with the ball at his feet ...

did play some high balls, when he could easily played the ball low (to reduce the time the receiving player needs to control it ... before an opponent arrives)

He's not a creative playmaker. He never was. He was always a solid all-around CM with a decent pass, shot and tackle. And he did those things well yesterday.

yes he did do some decent passes, shots and perhaps he tackled once or twice, but the post i was quoting asked if he did fill the creative void and this tiago did not!
