Last night was an astonishing performance from Fabinho, especially after that early yellow card. Still managed to protect the defence and keep tackling, he never gave up.

Would love to see an all touches compilation of him.

World Class at the 'outraged that you're not sending him off for fouling me' looks he gives Refs too.

I LOVED the aggression from Fab last night.....exactly whats needed in a game like that. And to play 3/4 of the match against Barca and to keep a cool head too

What a brain.
Perfect defensive midfielder for us, will be some player going forwards if he keeps on improving

sushared · « **Reply #3725 on:** May 8, 2019, 09:05:34 am »

he was our best yesterday evening. i like his intelligence more than anything. getting the foul against Newcastle the other day, then holding onto the ball yesterday in the last minute and getting a foul (normally players would have hoofed it and given away possession), calmness under pressure. really growing on me.

Fantastic performance, absolutely monster of a performance. Kept Messi, Suarez and Coutinho(Who?) in his pockets. And his performance freed up Henderson to run wild

Love the heat map, where there is a big number 3 alone in the center. Fucking massive performance.

Best defensive midfielder and best WAG in football?

BobPaisley3 · « **Reply #3729 on:** May 8, 2019, 09:57:50 am »

Can’t stay out of this thread, he’s absolutely brilliant.

Ray K · « **Reply #3730 on:** May 8, 2019, 09:59:01 am »

An absolute monster. I mean, there was very little rational thought passing through my brain last night, but even that part still working was thinking 'Fabinho is unbelievably good out there. He's destroying their attacks and setting up ours at the same time'.

ThePoolMan · « **Reply #3731 on:** May 8, 2019, 10:05:39 am »

Surely after this match, people will have to see that Fabinho is world class as the midfield anchor.

Danny Boys Dad · « **Reply #3732 on:** May 8, 2019, 10:07:17 am »

Fantastic last night, absolutely fantastic.

I thought he was going to miss the final when he got booked, forgot that they had scrapped that rule and it would have been such a shame had he had to miss it given that he played such a big part in getting us there. Best scrapping of a rule ever!

elsewhere · « **Reply #3733 on:** May 8, 2019, 10:07:53 am »

He has a bit of that cuntness in him in a good way

you don't wanna mess with him for sure.

Red-Soldier · « **Reply #3734 on:** May 8, 2019, 10:09:16 am »

We should start calling him the wall.

Teams just cannot get past him.

These were his two best games for us, he was immense.

Casta · « **Reply #3735 on:** May 8, 2019, 10:12:59 am »

World class DM, dont forget he picked up a yellow on 11 mins, then to go through the whole game bossing the midfield, not giving any Barca players a sniff was unreal!

ThePoolMan · « **Reply #3736 on:** May 8, 2019, 10:36:59 am »

Maybe after this match, the Brazil manager will stop putting Fabinho in the RB position and play him as DM where he really belongs instead.

Jookie · « **Reply #3737 on:** May 8, 2019, 10:42:03 am »

That was his best performance for the club so far. Unbelievable considering he was on a yellow after 10 minutes.

Barcelona couldn't live with Fabinho and the rest of our midfield.

gamble · « **Reply #3738 on:** May 8, 2019, 10:47:29 am »

He's better than Mascherano right? He's got it all.

Yes. Mascherano was great, but Fabinho offers better passing, more controlled play and less of a hot head.

hahaha.
We need more of this to be honest. Have been so missing this for a long time!

A touch of hard AND a touch of sly AND a touch of crybaby (to the ref).

Bobinhood · « **Reply #3742 on:** May 8, 2019, 11:29:40 am »

Becky's Husband was awesome yesterday! everything he was advertised and more! Messi didnt impress him whatsoever just kept taking the ball off him---and that win of the ball late in extra time to basically wrap it up what a guy!

Shepnois · « **Reply #3743 on:** May 8, 2019, 11:46:08 am »

He's world class, what a player has it all for his position. The roar I let out when he won us the free late on, incredible stuff.

theMilkman · « **Reply #3744 on:** May 8, 2019, 12:18:12 pm »

Amazes me when people say he's an average player playing above his level. His defensive positioning, work rate and tackling are excellent but his passing and ball control for a defensive mid is nuts. Aside from Fernandinho and Kante (when played in position), i'm struggling to think of a holding mid right now anywhere near as good. What a signing.

deano2727 · « **Reply #3745 on:** May 8, 2019, 12:18:42 pm »

The kind of player we have been crying out for since Mascherano left. Love that he can be a bit snide as well. You need that.

Elzar · « **Reply #3746 on:** May 8, 2019, 12:20:06 pm »

Didn't know if he was going to get the ball or drop kick someone at times when he was pressing. The guy is brilliant.

FLRed67 · « **Reply #3747 on:** May 8, 2019, 12:40:51 pm »

Exactly what we needed. Not only the best defensive midfielder, but knows how to work the refs and deal with the sh*t-housery from teams like Barcelona.

Giono · « **Reply #3748 on:** May 8, 2019, 12:42:48 pm »

Brilliantly surfed on a yellow like Lucas used to be able to do.

The G in Gerrard · « **Reply #3749 on:** May 8, 2019, 01:06:52 pm »

Thought he was targeted by Barca as someone who may lose their cool and get sent off. He was magnificent.

deFacto please, you bastards · « **Reply #3750 on:** May 8, 2019, 01:07:25 pm »

Considering he got a yellow so early in, makes his performance even more masterful

BCCC · « **Reply #3751 on:** May 8, 2019, 01:10:42 pm »

One of the best midfield performances I've ever seen.

paulrazor · « **Reply #3752 on:** May 8, 2019, 02:00:22 pm »

i was a bit worried to begin with as it seemed like he was throwing the head. going to get the ball out of suarez hands after just 8 minutes and getting booked just after but from then on he settled down and got better as the game went on

took a few bumps and won some frees. he is boss

jckliew · « **Reply #3753 on:** May 8, 2019, 02:07:55 pm »

Yellow card at 11 minutes. Yet managed his game so well! FABulous 6

stockdam · « **Reply #3754 on:** May 8, 2019, 02:08:29 pm »

For me that was his best game for us. He is great at protecting our defence and also at calming things down when needed. Loved his run at the end to win the freekick.

gerrardsarmy · « **Reply #3755 on:** May 8, 2019, 02:09:07 pm »

He was so good while on a yellow; I forgot he even got one.

kaesarsosei · « **Reply #3756 on:** May 8, 2019, 02:59:51 pm »

One of the very best performances any Liverpool midfielder has had. This time next year he will be regarded as the best CM in the PL.

It's hard to believe how much he has come on since that first appearance at Arsenal.

Xanderzone · « **Reply #3757 on:** May 8, 2019, 03:11:09 pm »

Didi Hamann with athleticism.

toe punt · « **Reply #3758 on:** May 8, 2019, 03:19:29 pm »

Has to have that number 6 role nailed down after that and recent performances! It also means Henderson plays slightly higher up the pitch and he suddenly looks a better player. He was never a natural fit for that position.

Those two with either the Ox or Keita next season and the question of midfield balance/lack of penetration is more or less solved.

Next year we can be even better. It's scary.

cheshiremike · « **Reply #3759 on:** May 8, 2019, 03:20:14 pm »

Still dont understand why he didnt start against City away.

Changed game when he came on that night.

Regardless, he is the player we have been missing! A nasty fucker protecting the back line.

The spine of team is frightening
