Why would you hate it?
Keita and Thiago look very nice witg5 Fab dm
If you are lucky you don't need a 4thxb - host of young guys (transfers) that could step up too

Wooohooo at Thiago. Let's hope he passes his medical. Finally, a decent signing. Thank you FSG.

Thinking more about this, makes a lot of sense - feel like we've got a lot of guys that can play those mid positions now and even think it might help unleash Keita a bit. Also looks similar to what Thiago would have played in at Bayern.
On the transfer as well, it's kind of miraculous that for limited spend we've improved our squad, as Jod said Klopp = Jesus. It's very hard to stay at the level we've at for the last two seasons, but this helps.
Two thoughts:
1. Trust in the club. They weren't doing things to our timetable, but they were working.
2. I feel that the club will make an effort to get Sarr, but this one may end up being more reliant on other sales (Wilson, Grujic, Shaqiri).

I don't rate Fabinho in defense. Gomez and Matip tend to miss a bit of footy so we will be playing a fourth option at centre half. It also robs us of arguably our most important midfielder in that case.

Do any top managers play a 4-2-3-1? I feel like it's been out of vogue for at least half a decade. Can't see us deviating from the 4-3-3.

Pretty sure Bayern lined up that way in CL final and it seemed to work for them. Why would Klopp bring in Thiago in replace Fab? Either something like this, or use Thiago higher up.

would not be surprised if Hendo plays a shift there too in times of need.

Yeah it'll definitely be interesting to see if it changes, I just can't remember Klopp ever deviating. Thiago might change things because he could potentially change our main playmaking outlet away from the wing backs but my suspicion is he'll just supplement that and make us a more total team. My best XI would be:
------------------- Becker
------------ Van Dijk - Gomez
------------------- Fabinho
TAA ------Thiago - Wijnaldum ---- Robertson
----------- Salah - Firmino - Mane
Fabinho and Thiago feel like locks in my mind, the last midfield spot is hardest to pick. Wijnaldum or Henderson will round it out at the start I feel but my great hope is that it's top gear Keita. Fabinho/Thiago/Keita has a lot of parallels to that Mascherano/Alonso/Gerrard midfield now that I think about it.
While I think the move makes the transition more straight forward, let's all remember how close Hendo was to being player of the year last season.

The reason why he was signed was to do precisely that, you'd think.
Somewhere recently, i read where our Pep was talking about us having to change or mix up the way we play because our opponents were starting to come up with strategies to counter our wing backs.
So we were starting to look to one dimensional or predictable. The amount of flexibility this signing introduces is going to make the bus parkers think a lot more about the way they set up against us.
Don't think we should go for Sarr purely because he will also head off to African Nations Cup, which kinda defeats the purpose of being backup to Mo and Sadio
Someone like Dembele on loan is viable

As a few have said, the Thiago signing just makes us more unpredictable which is huge. A lot of teams were starting to try to shut down our full backs and figuring out how to blunt our attack.
Thiago now gives us so many different ways to break down a team. It's a huge signing.

Not too bothered who gets through out of Leicester and Arsenal. We will play our fringe and youngsters. So I guess maybe Arsenal as they will do the same rather than Leicester who will probably go in closer to full strength.

Hah! Clearly there's a marketing guy in the corner of Klopps eye on his hands and knees silently begging the old fella not to spoil all that finely tuned content they've created for Thiago's reveal. He's just too honest!
