Henderson played well I'll give you that, but I honestly don't see it with Thiago...
Maybe it's all the hype around him and I'm expecting something to make me think wow,
But all I've seen is someone who keeps possession ticking over
. Yeah but no but yeah but no but but yeah but no but yeah Thiago done a 20 yards pass to Mane without looking and that makez im der best in der werlllldddddd
 

The comparison is the media waxing lyrical over Thiago's passing while forgetting James exists mate. Nothing to do with what position they play.

Yeah tbf, living in Australia I’m probably not seeing a lot of the media bias. I personally thought Thiago & Henderson were the difference in the quality between the two sides.

But Rodriguez despite not having his best game (which I think in part was due to our midfield losing the battle and James being forced to try and go with Robertson & Mane defensively) I still felt was the most dangerous of the 6 attacking players on the pitch.

Fair enough mate, the comparison is only about quality of passes I agree we were second best in the middle for periods yesterday but they have a solid system and they're good at it.

And quality wise I think we might just have the best passer in the premier league. De Bruyne does a lot of other things better than James but pure passing, especially those cut in, lofted balls over the top. Not sure there is anyone better.

Keen eye on Ziyech from Chelsea, think he might be the closest to Rodriguez in style of play. Will be very interesting to see how those 2 match up.
