Topic: Fabinho

[A-Bomb]

Massive shout out the Fabs tonight, he's taken a lot of flack this year but tonight he was excellent.

[DelTrotter]

Was very, very good, back to being a tackling, duel winning machine again. Good to see.

[Clint Eastwood]

Looked like his old self.

[Yorkykopite]

When Fabinho plays well Liverpool play well. I love this player.

[Tobelius]

Another good game,getting to be a habit now again 

[Passmaster Molby]

He looks reborn, even did one of his telescopic leg ball steals in the second half, which is vintage Fab. Having Trent alongside him in possession helps him massively too.

[Copenred]

Maybe too early to write him off for next season. Seems to play well when not subject to opposition counter attacks caused by sloppy play from our side.

[Carras Left Foot]

Look what happens when he’s playing in a functioning, solid system instead of trying to cover the ground of 2 midfielders.

[Robinred]

When Fabinho plays well Liverpool play well. I love this player.

Agreed. And he’s been written off at 29 - a rather dangerous thing to do.

He’s got far more to his game than given credit for - and the transfer thread is loaded with naysayers who only focus on the lack of recovery pace.
A team that plays as we do, with a very high line and a high press, will undoubtedly concede chances to teams better than Leicester. The Real Madrid games - home and away - were prime examples; and athleticism is required when confronted with a team at the top level whose technical and passing ability demands that your ‘legs’ and awareness to foil quick counters is built in to the ‘system’.

Fabinho has the game understanding of City’s Fernandinho, and also that player’s acceptance that he’ll ‘take one for the team’. The main difference is that Fernandinho had a Houdini vibe that defied football norms (he got away with murder), Fab has never had the subtlety to carry that off despite his ‘innocence’ shrugs.

[Chakan]

2/3rds of the season he absolutely stunk the place out.

He's come back great and played himself into form.

Great to see

[lionel_messias]

Good to see. Put youth* around him, see what happens.

WeLl, someone younger than Hendo, next season.

[Jookie]

Pretty, pretty good.

Looked his old self tonight. Been coming as his performances have improved in past couple of months.

[classycarra]

Really good performance today. Got some nice tackles in on the front foot stepping up into their midfield too (including the second goal). Putting together a good run now, really nice to see.

[Too early for flapjacks?]

Been decent for about 2 months but tonight he was prime Fabinho. He won so many balls and often in the opposition half.

[Black Bull Nova]

Stan is back

[SamLad]

like with the team in general, Fab's game started to tighten up when Jones came back into a starting spot.

and has been getting better still, since Trent has been moving inside.

[Judge Red]

Agreed. And he’s been written off at 29 - a rather dangerous thing to do.

Spot on that. I’ve seen Leicester’s pressing being criticised but i just think our players were half a yard quicker in midfield. Time after time we nipped in to steal possession and when tackles came in we were just faster and more skilful in our ball control whilst more accurate in our distribution. Fab epitomised this for me. Really impressed with his performance against a backdrop of many excellent ones.

[Draex]

He was very good last night, lovely to see our midfield dominate another.

[The G in Gerrard]

Best game this season for us last night.

[macmanamanaman]

Best game this season for us last night.

Agreed..

Added a lot of impetus, was assertive and took total charge of midfield.

[Persephone]

Best game this season for us last night.

And he clattered that twat Maddison a few times to add to his all round performance.

[spider-neil]

That was Fabinho’s best game all season. I still think we need a 6 but at least Fabinho is showing he isn’t finished.

[Fitzy.]

Back to his octopus-inspired best.

[jepovic]

That was Fabinho’s best game all season. I still think we need a 6 but at least Fabinho is showing he isn’t finished.

Yeah, really good performance. The timing in the tackles is back, which is a huge part of what makes him a good player. Good passing too. He had a massive drop in form around the time the baby was born, but the whole spring he has been gradually getting better.

[The G in Gerrard]

Agreed..

Added a lot of impetus, was assertive and took total charge of midfield.

And he clattered that twat Maddison a few times to add to his all round performance.

Agreed was much better defensively and is improving alongside the rest of the team.

His pressing should have helped us get a third in first half, if Gakpo had scored.

[William Regal]

Trents switch inside has benefited Fabinho more than any other player, that double pivot cuts down the ground Fabinho has to cover, thought he played well last night.

[skidz73]

Random, but fook it. Started watching Mr In-between the other day. Fabinho and Ray Shoesmith separated at birth.

Nice reminder of how good he has been....


(but he's still an issue going forward - unless as a substitute)

[disgraced cake]

"I am so grateful for the fans.

Even in difficult moments you are there for us.

We hear you. We feel you.

We will keep going because you keep us going.

And we will fight to see the day you break the city."

Oh we had the chance to break Man Shitty and we missed it!

[Samie]

Saudi have bid £40 m for him. Take that and run as this current version of Fab is average/crap.

[shook]

Saudi have bid £40 m for him. Take that and run as this current version of Fab is average/crap.

And it would allow us to set a much better Henderson price than a laughable 10-20 million

[Cafe De Paris]

If the club and Klopp thinks the time is right then I don’t mind any player leaving us. As long as we reinvest the money back into the team. It’s always sad to leave something. But the club keeps moving on and so do the players.

[newterp]

Saudi have bid £40 m for him. Take that and run as this current version of Fab is average/crap.

but Fab can't run - don't let them know that.

[Samie]

Looks like this is definitely on as his missus has started following Saudi social media accounts.

[newterp]

If this one is true - we absolutely have to sell him and reinvest. 40m is a great deal.

[whtwht]

Way past his peak. Good deal and we move!

[Draex]

Looks like this is definitely on as his missus has started following Saudi social media accounts.

Haha that has to be photoshopped

[McSquared]

Haha that has to be photoshopped

Was curious myself, but it is right
