Hamann rates Liverpool players after season; calls Thiago ‘the most overrated player in the world’
Meanwhile, the Spaniard has received one of the harshest criticisms of his career from former Liverpool star Dietmar Hamann.
The German, who played for Liverpool between 1999 and 2006 and won the 2004/05 Champions League was commenting generally on his impression of the Reds’ players’ performances this season.
Writing in his Sky Sports column, he said of Thiago: “In my opinion, the Reds need to modernize the team a bit, especially in midfield. I don’t understand the hype about Thiago. For me, he is one of the most overrated players in European football.
“When things are going well and you have a lot of possession he’s a good player, but when push comes to shove you don’t see him. If you need someone who sets accents, then he doesn’t do it.”
Hamann also wrote on Thiago’s midfield partners Naby Keita and Jordan Henderson. “Keita is also a disappointment, Henderson is a worker. They need a player who can make the difference and give the team that extra something.”
