Fabinho

[Assassin]

If he's coming into form now, it's all down to Klopp's management. He is showing his quality now, having had the time and space to get himself accustomed to the league after a very slow start.

There is so much more to come from him.

Keita will also show his quality in due time.

Agree, Klopp has done a great job of easing him in. Fab was an absolute steal for the price we payed for him

Keita just needs a goal and he will start to play with more freedom

We got a bit wobbly around pages 10 and 11 of this thread but I think everyone is now on the Fabio train. FYI, this is exactly what he was doing for Monaco as we've been saying.

Yep agree with all that

Our goal pretty much started with him being totally at ease when being pressed, little skip by Bernardo I think it was and a lovely pass to Trent. Simple as that but a quality totally lacking when Hendo and Milner are on the pitch, I like them both and both have plenty of qualities but it's a nightmare going to these tough places with 2 midfielders who aren't comfortable in tight spaces or being pressed as we just end up back to Alisson or a defender all the time. What was once upon a time our last resort midfield seems to have become our first choice midfield for the toughest games. Needs sorting for the CL and Man Utd away.

Yeah, fair comment. He looked good when he came on. I reckon his dodgy (erratic) first half v Arsenal stopped him from getting a start.

Hendo played well I thought but Millie, not so. I agree with the comment about Fabinho. He's quality and needs to play in these kind of games. He is much better compared to the start of the season. He needs a run of games now.

Yeah, Milner looked well off the pace. A tough game to overthrow into after injury.

I don't think you can iron lace.. Also susceptible to Ribena bleaching.

Fast becoming another undroppable player. Keeper, Virgil and Fab. Great spine.

[rudedog]

I don't think Fabinho could be trusted to start against City - the games he started previously he's taken about 30 minutes to settle and get up to speed and has given the ball away in really dangerous positions.

I'm pretty sure Klopps game plan was to weather the early storm with Milner/Henderson and then bring on Fabinho when City were starting to tire (and less likely to get caught out with a press).

What the **** else are we to do after a defeat? Oh yeah, Lovren's a cunt.

Knows which way forward is, and thats a refreshing change.

I see Klopp’s reasoning but it didn’t really work today. Fab is the future.

[Havors]

Looked great when he came on and changed the game for us along with the change to 4-4-2.....

He is defo the future of our midfield. Just need Keita to settle in and start turning it on now (and stay fit).
