First and foremost, I hope Jurgen has learned the lesson from 19-20 and bringing Fab back in without him earning it, Shankly, Bob, Joe and Kenny would never have brought a player who had picked up a knock back in if the team was playing better without them, they would have had to wait for their chance, if someone else picked up a knock, or as a sub, and that's exactly how it should be, that's the Liverpool way.
One would hope, Jurgen will take stock and realise this group of players never needed a designated playmaker and trying to employ one was an error and speak and work with Thiago on simply being a cog in the machine like every other player rather than trying to make himself the centre of it - Educate him to make the play more as Hendo did, by giving it to our other players who are also key to our playmaking and variety of points of attack playing different kinds of balls from different areas and not constantly demanding the ball off them - Some education of the type of service our forwards and full backs thrive off and asking him to apply his alleged passing ability and brilliant technique to giving them the right type of service
Look at the playmaking we've seen coming back from Alisson, Trent, Virgil, Konate, Hendo, Robbo and even Fab and Elliott in Thiago's absence, this team just works with the entire team contributing to making the play
Our lads set the tempo through our pressing and counter pressing, if Jurgen wants to control games and the tempo of them better, without fucking up the other 10 players, maybe he needs to look at how he can do that using the press and counter press, maybe dropping the line a little and setting the position of the press differently when we're leading and want to conserve energy
