He is a beast and proves what we where missing when he had to play CB, some of the 'pundits' did not get that, incredible player.

Him and Thiago in the midfield is an absolute treat. Total domination with the ball.

Almost seems unfair.

Incredible. Seems like he's fucking everywhere. Thiago was great too.

Best around.

Like an amalgamation of Alonso, Hamann and Mascherano.

He’s actually a dyson hoover out there. Fucking hell what a player

Abso-fucking-lutely magnificent. Totally bossed it.

Midfielder supreme, complete control, loving him and Thiago together.

MonsLibpool · « **Reply #5528 on:** April 3, 2021, 09:58:53 pm »

10/10 performance. He was everywhere and gave us a good platform. We've really missed him in midfield.

They just controlled and dictated the game didn't they? Absolutely outstanding, he just makes everyone around him better. Didn't even realise Phillips or Kabak were playing because Fabinho just didn't let Arsenal near them

The football IQ among those two is really, really high. Correct decisions 99% of the time.

Wijnaldum is of a similar ilk but my fanboy heart would love to see Fabinho, Thiago and Keita given an extended run of games at some point!

Great pass to Salah as well. Boss boss bossing it like a boss

Sarge · « **Reply #5532 on:** April 3, 2021, 10:13:58 pm »

Thiago needed him in beside him to let him do what he does, pundits miss these things too, Thiago was putting in tackles in hisearly games he never does due to the defending he had to do without Fab, big difference now as thay are each others best player to have side by side.

Remarkable how playing players in their best position works wonders for the team. Never ever again will he be banished to central defence.

Phil M · « **Reply #5536 on:** April 3, 2021, 10:24:05 pm »

World class our Fab.

I'm surprised no one said it yet, but he's BOSS!

didi shamone · « **Reply #5538 on:** April 3, 2021, 10:42:44 pm »

I was watching the game and said he's my man of the match even though he won't get it.

Then he got it

. One of the most intelligent players we've ever had.

Sarge · « **Reply #5539 on:** April 3, 2021, 10:43:48 pm »

He's over the CB playing days and he's highly rated, so yeah, he's overrated as you said.

Imperious cog in this red machine, makes Thiago be Thiago and makes the team defensively solid.

MoTM.

How we’ve missed Fabinho’s anticipation of winning possession inside opposition half when they are starting an attack. He steps forward and wins it, which then leads on to most of our dangerous attacks.

Cannot be understated how we’ve missed this.

Fitzy. · « **Reply #5553 on:** April 5, 2021, 08:07:38 am »

The key to Klopp's team building is to have leaders all over the park. The problem has been that the top leaders have had injuries or been playing out of position. Fabinho is a leader. He's back where he should be. It's such a game-changer...

OOS · « **Reply #5554 on:** April 5, 2021, 07:25:03 pm »

Don't want him to play center back ever again. Play a u16 or a fella who works in the club ticket office at center back, than move him again. He makes us tick.

Pretty much how I feel.We lose far too much defensively when he is in defence.

mattD · « **Reply #5556 on:** April 5, 2021, 08:12:19 pm »

Him going in defence is like putting Paul McCartney on drums in The Beatles - will do the job fine but the band is deprived of all other talent of his and you need the man front and centre of the entire act.

And I'm not overestimating his influence in midfield. It's night and day when he's not there. Imagine the Arsenal team of old losing Vieira in midfield, or Man Utd with Keane - that's how important Fabinho is to us now.

Bobinhood · « **Reply #5557 on:** April 5, 2021, 09:03:05 pm »

I just cant imagine what this team would be like without Becky and that bald guy. The horror.

Real in for a shock. Not many Stans out there in the Spanish League.

Fab - Thiago - Keita
Vs
Hendo - Gini - Curtis

There's a 3v3 I'd pay good money for!

I know this is now received wisdom and is being repeated everywhere so its not about your post.... but its really being exaggerated at the moment
He's very good but when Henderson played as our 6 last season there wasn't a change in our perofmance levels - this is partly because Henderson still gets under rated as a 6 by almost everyone -but still we've been extremely successful without Fabinho in midfield
