John Barnes believes playing Thiago Alcantara in Liverpool's midfield gives opponents "some chances" when in possession.
The former Liverpool forward has highlighted the impact the Spain international has when Jurgen Klopp 's side are in control of the ball, but doesn't think Thiago is as defensively capable.
Thiago is regarded as one of the best midfielders in the Premier League with how much he offers to Liverpool in terms of ball retention and creativity from a deeper position. What is often overlooked is the aggression the 31-year-old offers with his defensive duties.
