Stendel must learn that Thiam is a liability and unless we are short on numbers the guy should no longer make the match day squad.
He must be a world beater in training because he hasn’t shown a whole lot in recent matches. The thing that confuses me the most is that he doesn’t have the stamina to play how Stendel wants (i.e high press) and offers hardly any protection for the full back behind him yet he’s always in the match day squad.
He offers absolutely nothing. The difference between him and brown is huge. I’m so glad Brown is back fit again, we’ve missed his work ethic and just generally Someone at the top end of the field who doesn’t mind getting stuck in. I wouldn’t include Thiam in the match day squad when everyone is fighting fit.
It was a strange sub to be honest I thought the way to play leeds was to press them thiam doesn't have the fitness to do that, chaplin would have been a better sub maybe but what do i know.
