Former Liverpool fullback Glen Johnson is convinced by the quality of Thiago Alcantara.
He has by no means been a prolific midfielder during his trophy-laden career, but Johnson is confident he will play a huge role in the attacking third.
Asked if he thinks Thiago suits the Reds' style of play, Johnson told compare.bet: “I do. Last season their three front men were carrying the side in terms of goals.
"But you can't rely on that consistently all throughout the year.
“For a player like Thiago, or even someone in the past like Coutinho, a player who can score and create from midfield gives another threat for the other team to neutralise.
“I certainly think they need to get more goals from midfield, and whether Thiago actually scores them or not, I certainly think he'll play a role in a lot of goals."
