Within two minutes of his introduction, Liverpool had regained parity, and within five minutes, the Reds had taken the lead. And it resulted in Thiago receiving widespread acclaim from supporters.
The Spaniard came off the bench against Norwich as Jurgen Klopp made seven changes from the previous game, opting to keep things fresh while he still has the option.
Norwich, on the other hand, were eager to derail Liverpool, and Joel Matip's outstretched leg helped them do so before the manager turned to Thiago and Divock Origi.
Following that, Liverpool reclaimed control, increasing the tempo and recycling possession with intent and impetus, which had not been the case prior to the No. 6 arrived on the scene.
Thiago's injuries and illnesses have forced Liverpool to be without him far too frequently, but he's simply magical when he's on the field, as he was again on Saturday:
His influence is felt whenever he is on the field, and he is a world-class operator who can be the difference-maker for Liverpool this season.
It was only 30 minutes for him against the Canaries, but it was 30 minutes in which he grabbed the game by the scruff of the neck and dragged it all the way to three points.
He has made 18 appearances so far this season, and it is hoped that number will grow significantly as the Reds fight across all four competitions.
Thomas Tuchel names the player who gives Liverpool a competitive advantage over Chelsea.
Chelsea has their work cut out for them in order to keep up with Liverpool, and Thomas Tuchel believes one player makes it even more difficult.
According to Thomas Tuchel, Chelsea's Premier League pursuit of Liverpool has just become a lot more difficult as a result of one man.
The European Champions recently added the World Club Championship to their trophy cabinet, but they currently sit third in the Premier League table, trailing the Reds and league leaders Manchester City.
Expectations at Stamford Bridge are always high under owner Roman Abramovic, but former PSG and Borussia Dortmund manager Tuchel believes the arrival of Luis Diaz at Anfield only reduces Chelsea's chances of catching up.
"They look very strong," he said after his team's 1-0 win over Crystal Palace on Saturday. That's all there is to it.
"They [signed] a big player in the winter to strengthen their squad, and that's how it is." "I'm not going to give up and tell you today that it's impossible to catch them." There is no other way to win game after game after game than to improve our game, improve our style, and win game after game after game.
"There is no need to look at Liverpool, Manchester City, or behind us." We have a lot to deal with and a lot to work on. We'll start there."
Diaz has already proven his worth to Jurgen Klopp's squad, scoring his first goal for the club in yesterday’s 3-1 victory.
