Kudos for the Maiden reference

Well hey, we do play heavy metal football after all.

Any more of that and you will get a piece of mind that will make you run to the hills.

So far this season we have sacrificed a bit upfront to be steadier at the back. As a consequence and although the results have been good, my sense is that the performances haven't been quite heavy metal enough for the boss. I think Fab's introduction will be designed to free the offensive players a bit more - meaning steady when we lose the ball and all guns blazing when we have it.

so the movement of the full backs adds a further two forwards when we are attacking...

You've got to love Fabinho's 'danger' passes. He doesn't settle for the easy square balls. Never did for Monaco either. He can execute them perfectly too. No wonder Milner and Wijnaldum have looked so much better. They knew the competition waiting to take their places first hand. Henderson looks prehistorically redundant by comparison.

Yeah Fab gave us a nice balance. You can see him becoming the fulcrum of the team & the stage is set for him with Hendo, Milly & Naby all injured.

Any more of that and you will get a piece of mind that will make you run to the hills.

Oh Yeah, well you can fire your musket but I'll run you through...

Great to see Fab starting today. I really hopes he rips it up.

Another great display. Has the ability to turn out of pressure and make the forward pass, that's the key gap in Hendo's game.

Hendo can play a good game, but too often is only 50% and we need better, i have been pointing out his slackness for ages and now fabhino steps in it really highlights what we have been missing.

Fabinho has looked decent last 2 matches but that's no reason to dismiss what Heno brings to the team. Decent midfield options now.

Good game again today, seems to be getting up to speed.

Some selection headaches for Klopp in a few weeks when players are back to fitness.

Yup, personally I think Keita and Hendo are second choices. Gini is undroppable, Milner usually a starter & Shaq is bang in form and vital for our attack. Fab been good in last 2, we really have great options although Keita is the one that seems to be struggling the most.
