Thiago explains Reds form and makes Fabinho claim
Thiago Alcantara has admitted he has not be happy with his form since arriving at Anfield, while he heaped praise on Fabinho after his role in Liverpool's comfortable Champions League win.
Thiago has struggled for consistency since arriving from Bayern Munich last summer, but the midfielder was very impressive in the 2-0 win over RB Leipzig on Wednesday.
The Spain international has now admitted he himself has not been pleased with what he's done so far in a Reds shirt.
He said to TNT Sports Brasil: "I don't read a word about what people talk about me.
"I know that I receive some criticism about my performances, but I'm not happy with my performance since I came here."
Thiago also went into detail about how Fabinho's return to the Liverpool midfield against Leipzig allowed him to play a bit more of a free role.
"He is a great player," said Thiago, speaking to liverpoolfc.com. "He gives us a lot of confidence in our backs, and it's awesome to play alongside him.
"It frees me up a bit, I can move some lines forward and with that I can be more confident and player (nearer) with the strikers."
