File under nothing serious like matip.............

Fears he will be out for up to 6 weeks.

[Norbs]

That'll be longer then

Liverpool concerned that Fabinho could be missing for the whole of December with his ankle issue, which could be as many as 10 games. Scan results will determine more but fears of a 4-6 week lay-off. Klopp is set to utilise Adam Lallana in the holding role. @DominicKing_DM

That is a massive blow

[baitman]

No like for like replacement and any patch to try and fit only weakens us elsewhere.

Well we have Keita, Ox, Lallana and Jones as midfielders to help plug gaps. We'll have to sort out our feet and find a way.

Dont see any of them being abe to play a dm role to any level.
Even when henderson played here it became crab football.
Sooner see gomez slot in. Good pace to intercept, can time a tackle well, and play the ball out.

Adam Lallana Liverpool's number six

Klopp is a genius, but I just dont see that.

Hendo can do a half decent job there. Maybe Keita? Think we may drop two deeper and one pushing on.

Its a massive loss. One I have been worried about, as it would seem holding midfielders are like golddust at Anfield.

Massive blow if true; however, injuries in the past have opened the door to other players to come in and excel. Clyne's injury allowed Trent to come through. Moreno's injury meant that Robbo took his place in the squad. Gomez's injury brought in Matip. Strurridge's persistent injuries meant that Firmino continued up front even when not scoring. Perhaps this will be the opportunity for Keita, Ox, Lallana or Shaq to shine.

Midfield probably is our strongest position bodies wise even though we don't have a like-for-like replacement but again Klopp has been creative when key personnel have been missing previously. The 2nd leg against Barcelona being a good example. We could go more with 4-2-3-1 which we have utilised a number of times this season. To be champions we need to overcome set-backs and I fully believe in these mentality monsters to do so.

I would like to see this too

Annoying but we’ll be fine, Hendo was decent as a 6 despite the **** written about him and Gini covered there brilliantly a few times including City away once. Only play tiny little nothing clubs for the next month anyway.
