Fabinho

[danperkins]

Top pro, quality player.

[Liverpool]

only one lapse where he was far too deep playing them onside that led to chance.

That game today wasn't massively different to how he'd have played it as a holding mid tbf

[Sus]

And the one early where he lost Murray, who put the header over the bar. But pretty impressive for a CM playing at CB the last two games

[EwarWoo]

Was about to say the same. Think it took him a bit to get into the mindset positionally and after that a pretty excellent performance. A great back up.

[gratziani]

Looking like the player we all knew was in there.

Love his tackling and getting stuck in.

soon to be one of the first names on the team sheet

What a valuable player to the team he is, can play midfield, right back and center back. It's so important, allows Klopp to keep the squad a bit smaller.

From what Klopp has said previously, when it comes to the midfield, there is no "first name on the teamsheet" as the midfield is his engine room and expected to do the most running, so the players will be constantly rotated to keep them fresh and injury free. Hence we very rarely play the same midfield...whether that philosophy changes when we are only playing the one game a week will be interesting to see.

[Lecter]

He looked very good on Saturday alongside Van Dijk

As an emergency centrehalf he's about as good as it gets

I expect Klopp to mainly play Fabinho, Henderson and Wijnaldum in our remaining PL games (quite a conservative midfield). I can only see it changing due to injuries or if we start losing games. Tough on Naby and Milner but understandable.

[greenturnip]

I think Shaq will get a look in, especially at Anfield against the bus-parkers...

[Liverpool]

absolutely established now and more to come

the long ball he plays from deep, like throwing a grenade behind enemy lines.

[Norbs]

Was he really good again?

[Liverpool]

midfield 3 were all impressive, keeping them playing well will be the difference

[Norbs]

With everyone fit, how do you see them interchanging?

Gini for Hendo seems an obvious one. Ox for Naby and Shaq for Fabinho
