Watching MOTD. Rhys Williams is god awful.
Thiago is important in my opinion. He's the evolution from fast pressing play where we rely heavily on full backs and winning the ball high up the pitch, to also being able to control the play and move well through midfield. He may detract slightly from the pressing side, but I'd hope that with Hendo and Fabinho fully fit and playing in the right position, and with a signing who can rotate in for them, will help a lot. Jones and Thiago can rotate as the forward thinking midfielder, and Fab, Hendo, and I'd hope a new signing or two can do the pressing duties
