[Les Beeavinu]

Am I wrong ?

I doubt you think you've ever been wrong.

 

[nick logan]

Have a day off you lot , he was voted best player in Europa league the other year

[David Brentford]

... he's not all that... he's really not..dress him up how you like.

I really want it to work for him but not getting it currently

 

[brentfordfc4ever]

He can't play in a two, that I absolutely know.

 

[ChertseyBee]

West Ham won a European trophy the other year. They're crap now. Things change.

 

[Isleworth_Bee]

What I will say is he is feeding off absolute scraps

 

[JCMcBee]

... everyone does...not least those who brought him to our club...but we don't dare question that.

 

[LongLostBee]

I’ll still defend Thiago.
I blame Andrews entirely for that sh*show and the few players we had up front were repeatedly isolated and heavily outnumbered and crowded out.
Happened continually to whoever got the ball.

Really?

That's utter nonsense.

 

[nickwychen]

I’m not sure what he brings other than running around and barging into defenders.

Poor touch, doesn’t read the game well and often off the pace.

100% this.

 

[aslan]

Am I wrong ?

Quite often. Yes.

Grow up

 

[coconino]

There’s a player in there somewhere, I sincerely hope, but for a big lad he’s too easily bundled off the ball. Needs to assert himself more, and believe in his own physicality. Also needs service, and someone to serve to, both of which were in short supply tonight.

 

[BFC1997]

I don’t actually think he looked poor. Didn’t have much service or support around him throughout the game.

Felt a bit frustrated when he was taken off for Dango, seemed like the right moment but him in the middle of a three.

 

[LostBee]

Good support

 

[ChertseyBee]

I’ve been watching football for long enough to have total confidence in my judgement to see a good player.

I just don’t see it in Thiago.

Have you ever been wrong?
(We both know the answer )

Other people‘s opinions don’t sway me. I know what I see with my own eyes. And I don’t see a Premier League striker, that’s for sure.

How long after he signed before you could see one in Wissa? I remember you writing him off as well

Do you want to stay on topic (just for a change in your case).

You think Thiago’s great, I don’t. End of debate.

Yes, often.

That answers that one then

This coming from the genius who told us Damsgaard would never be a PL starter.

[Cham]

The guy had two serious injuries last year that would have ended a career a few decades back. I'm willing to give him time to adjust to the league. He had a decent game last week and was feeding on scraps today. A strong character

There’s a lot of weirdos on here who spend time trawling back over other people’s posts. Don’t worry, I’ll add you to the list.

I’m sure he had total confidence in that opinion as well.

 

[TOXIC BEE]

I don’t see how he starts over Dango?

It shouldn’t be either or. Any striker will struggle to look good with the current formation and style of play. Switch back to a back 4 and try and get ourselves playing some half decent football again and he’ll probably look a hell of a lot better. Same goes for Schade.

I dont recall anyone saying he was 'great'.
He's never played Premier League Football before and on the basis of how many games you've seen him play, you are writing him off !?
Give him time and a chance ffs !

 

[Owlsmoor_Bee]

How anyone’s judging him based on the lack of service to our frontmen at the moment is beyond me.

 

[Ghost]

Dropping him from my Fantasy team so expect him to hit a purple patch.

 

[james121bees]

Thiago will come good. He’s really not being utilised with a negative 5 at the back formation. His strength will come from having Schade & Ouattara running down the wings providing.

 

[ABEEE]

West Ham won a European trophy the other year. They're crap now. Things change.

Yeah and look at them now…

We’re crap and if we don’t realise it and change then who knows.

 

[BAGSHOTBEE]

He'll do a job for us. But sadly doesnt have the control and speed of footwork to worry defenders week in week out at this level. No amount of training will change that as you develop those skills very early on. We desperately need another striker who can work better with Schade.

Made me giggle that one, thank you

... I'm concerned about this big fella....he looks absolutely lost on the pitch..a folorn figure out there... someone at BFC....our new individual player coach perhaps...needs to put an arm round him.

He's scored 3 goals in 6 matches you sausage

 

[JCMcBee]

...he looks lost on the pitch to me... almost like even he doesn't know what striker role he's supposed to be playing...I certainly can't work it out.

He’s scored 1 in the Prem?…..

Tbh, I’m not sure what his main attribute is, eg quick, strong, dominant in the air etc.

I think currently his strength is "chasing hoofs all around the pitch"

2 ?

 

[paulmaddy]

It's all relative as we were poor last night...but actually thought he looked decent first half. His touch and build up play is getting better and I feel he's getting stronger in challenges as he gets used to the PL.

Personally I think he's improving game by game and will be good for us.

he needs to watch Haaland... maybe he does.

 

[seanrs]

What didn’t help, as someone pointed out on the match thread is that Thiago and Schade were too far apart/needed to play closure together

 

[TorbayBee]

Thiago will come good. He’s really not being utilised with a negative 5 at the back formation. His strength will come from having Schade & Ouattara running down the wings providing.

Exactly let’s play positively to his strengths - quick feet and speed. Two wide men as out balls attacking the lines supported by two wingbacks . Play positively and it gives Thiago a chance. I think we need 2 from Hickey, Rico and Kayode as wingbacks with an instruction to attack. Then Igor will be fine.

I thought the same on Tuesday night watching Dango and Carvalho - far too far apart.
