We really seemed to struggle today without Thiago 'making us tick'
Bar the filthy style meltdown of Fabinho and Gomez in that second half v Real after a pretty decent first half display, although Gomez's meltdown did start first half, we've now won 4 and drawn 1, keeping 5 clean sheets and scoring 13 in our last 5 league games in Thiago's absence and we're again looking like 18-20 Liverpool again
The runs in behind are back
The shortest route to goal great decision making lightning counters are back
The all the team contributing to making the play and no designated playmaker is back
The being devastatingly direct is back
The impact of our full backs is back
The forward in tandem with Robbo on our left and width is back
And much much more, it's not all back to its best or anywhere near that, but doing the rights things and playing as we did in 18-20, our play, players and getting the best of them is returning - The TEAM is becoming the start again rather than trying to develop a fantasy revolving around one single player
