That isn't his job mate.
Do you really think Klopp would have him in the team if he went on to the pitch and just did his own thing?
But in the short cameos we've seen of Fabinho in the same position you can see a clear difference between him and Hendo.
He plays a lot more forward balls and is involved in the play a lot further up too.
So why would he instruct two players playing the same role to do pretty much the complete opposite?
Do you think he says to Hendo you stay back as much as possible and when you get the ball recycle it back to the defence.
Then says to Fabinho you get forward and play the ball forward when you get the chance.
Even Gini was much more positive earlier in the season when he played the DM role brilliantly.
I just don't get why two would have more freedom, even though they could just as easily play the backward pass and recycle possession and one would be instructed to play it safe 90% of the time.
And no you smartarses I can't ask Klopp.
Just wondering if any of you had any insight.
Edit: please don't try to say it's because of different opposition because Hendo does the same every game and Fabinho and Gini did in each of their games.
Double edit: If like someone else above said you are going to say different players playing a different role in the same position...
Why would Henderson be restricted to mainly playing it safe every game while the other two are allowed to be adventurous?
