Fabinho

[Fuzzy]

He's got it all, apart from the fact that he moves with the speed of a tectonic plate. He's had a good game today, but his lack of pace was an apparent issue on one or two occasions. I think he'll only get better though.

Has to start

[Liverpool]

was blowing after an hour, but thought he was decent up to that point

He's great at tackling and intercepting but I still don't think he's good enough on the ball, not quick enough, not showing for it always (could be a lack of confidence after a challenging start) and at times just way too conservative.

Other times, he does try and get the ball up front quick but these are usually long balls with mixed results.

It would be interesting to see how many times he turned the ball over yesterday.

Brilliant tackle from Fabinho winning the ball in the move where Shaq should have scored.

This is the Fabinho thread mate - think you meant to post in the Henderson one

In the time Fab has been on the pitch for Liverpoool this season, he passes the ball to one of our forwards with 31% of his passes
Hendo and Wijnaldum 12.6 and 12.9%

Granted those statistics are outdated now, but IIRC those stats were consistent with his Monaco performances.

An astute observation. Like hendo, I don't think he's a rubbish player but he has appeared so far to have the same style/limitations as Henderson.

[fidget]

Think you must be watching a different player to me.

Yeah id rather we give Fab a run of games over Hendo for sure

His stats shat over Gomes but for some reason he was rated as the best player on the pitch.

I think it's because Gomes is better looking

Marvellous performance again today. He’s making it hard for Klopp to drop him from that position. When Hendo came in today he seemed to play a more advanced roll which suits him I feel.

Fabinho is starting to look good and consistently so. Also I agree that Henderson is more suited to the more advanced role, hopefully he plays that position more when he is in the side.
