Topic: Fabinho

[Fiasco]

Love this fella to bits. One of the best midfielders I've had the pleasure to watch in a red shirt.

That's the one, great piece of skill.

fucknut Garth Crookes should see these skills and put those in his team of the week rather some pillock that has a half decent game BUT also scores a goal to get into his team. Saka. Madisson and McGinn ahead of Fabinho

lost control of the ball in the middle of the pitch instead of playing a simple lay off to his centre back. complacent. 3/10

[MJL]

Always impressed with the speed that he finds a pass when he receives in tight situations, so reliable.

[RedSince86]

Calmness personified, never put a foot wrong.

absolute steal we got him for, but you can say the same about Jota as well.

Jorge Mendes gets a bad rep, but we have done fantastic business with him signing those 2.

[farawayred]

Another imperious performance. We became so used to it that we downplay the privilege of having a player of that quality grace our midfield.

Yep fantastic signings, apparently we have a good relationship with him, I'm pretty sure I read that we got him to convince Wolves that selling Jota was a good deal for them

[clinical]

He had an awful game against Arsenal when he first joined. Since that moment he's been absolutely brilliant. Best DM in the league, easily.

[Legoland]

We need a song for him to the tune of 'This girl is on fire"

I just saw a quote from Carrick that Fred is currently first choice for the Brazil national team in his position..
is he??

If so, how on earth does he get ahead of Fabinho (and Fernandinho) as DM?

He played alongside Fabinho in the previous match. The Brazil media were actually purring about Fabinho's form during the recent international break. They demolished Uruguay

[iamnant]

Best DM in the world, easily. What a difference to the team. Protect him at all cost.

[NarutoReds]

Reminds me of Mascherano.    Energetic, passing accuracy, positional sense when the opposition is making a run towards the goal, intelligent marking of opponents, and hard-tackling style of play...

Fabinho and Thiago have played together, (since Thiago came back from injury) 13 times in all competitions, winning EVERY game, and keeping ten clean sheets along the way.

13 TIMES!!   

[SamLad]

wow.

plus in the last few games all 3 have been on the pitch together, Fab+Thiago are allowing Hendo the freedom to express himself a hell of a lot more.

keep it going, Reds!

[Red Beret]

He's been so good since he's joined us I honestly can;t remember what we paid for him. But I know he's more than certainly paid that money back with interest. 

Just click on page 1, ya lazy get!

If we're objective, it's probably a toss up between him and Kante. At least in the PL anyway.

Kante would be boss in a Klopp team.

[jckliew]

Without Fab in the team, the centre is as soft as melted cheese. Even the normally cool Thiago panicked a bit. fab is as crucial to our spine as much as Kante is to Chelsea. Hopeful Fab stays healthy.

[farawayred]

It’s time to have more faith in Morton. Better have a specialist alongside Thiago and Hendo/Keita than having He do and Thiago fill in Fab’s boots.

I think physicality is going to be a factor for Klopp in terms of chucking him into PL games. Fabinho wins so many aerial duels, will Tyler Morton be able to manage that now?

Konate and Matip can help with that. Morton’s brain is his advantage. I feel that Hendo and Thiago can both play the role, but neither is natural. You saw the gaps against the barcodes, that will be punished if they do it against Spurs. I could be wrong, but that’s my take on the situation.

We weren't swashbuckling against Newcastle in attack as well, in fact, we were gifted a couple of goals by Newcastle themselves. I wouldn't take one game as an example of anything let alone gaps in Thiago's or Hendo's games or their ability to play a role. Thiago made two unnatural mistakes in that game, that's where the buck stops.

Konate and Matip cannot vacate their positions to help Morton win duels in the middle of the park, a big problem happened when Lovren tried to win duels for Can and then we were punished in certain games for that a few years ago. I'm happy that Klopp has solved that problem for the most part.

Morton is a good talent, he may be able to play one of the CM positions in PL, but to play the DM position, he needs to bulk up a bit and get to win a lot of duels (ground and air).

[Yorkykopite]

We were pretty swashbuckling. 23 shots! 8 on target. As for being "gifted" goals by Newcastle, isn't that simply the way we play? We force teams into errors high up the pitch with our swashbuckling style.

[Ghost Town]

Yeah the errors that our oppos make are usually due to our fierce pressing and option narrowing. They have to go down as something we have achieved, not something gifted to us

[Clint Eastwood]

Lost control of the game when he came off. Thought he was one of 3 who weren’t poor, alongside Matip and Tsimikas.

Weird sub, I imagine it was planned.

They were my three stand outs too. He just kept winning the ball back so easily and helped us keep them pinned back for most of the time he was on the pitch. Probably an hour back having been out for a while was the plan but we definitely lost our way a little when he went off.

Would have missed the Chelsea game if he got booked I think

Hadn’t played or trained for a week, so no surprise at all. Same with VVD, but a different position on the pitch of course.

Klopp talked about our lack of rhythm which was there in patches at the start but we lost it.

We are a team that have shown on several occasions that a break from playing kills our rhythm. Remember that warm weather training session in Spain that saw us struggle for rhythm on return. Not the only occasion.

Fabinho and Van Dyke hadn’t played for 12 days which included an isolation from training with the squad.Both showed they were not their normal selves. Virgil passed it into touch in the first half which was a first.

I’m interested to see how Klopp reacts to team selection when we play Arsenal twice with PL games at the weekends.
Will he play a less rotated team although the loss of 3 players to ACN will limit his choices.

Probably planned due to Covid.

Some think once a player is back im training they are 100% obviously footy players are fitter than me but Covid is a bastard of a virus to totally shake off.

[duvva 💅]

Found our striker for January.
 
Prolific

[Chakan]

Can definitely replace Mo!

[MonsLibpool]

He can serve as our backup striker behind Alisson of course

[Samie]

The next Ronaldo just been discovered by mistake. 

[tubby]

Was head and shoulders above anyone else on the pitch today, the Shrewsbury players won't have ever seen a DM like that.  Just glided away from their challenges.

[NarutoReds]

Come on... Appreciation time please. 90' + 3 goal.    What a goal.

[KurtVerbose]

Fab was er, Fab!

[jonnypb]

Quality penalty. I know he’d struggle to get the ball off salah when they’re both on the pitch and we get a pen, but he has better stats than salah for pens.

Was good today.

[Gods_Left_Boot]

He was a regular penalty taker for Monaco, not surprised that he stepped up.

[Seebab]

Fab is just Fab.
