His passing was off last night esp. when he first came on, and looked tired as klopp had said.
But he made some brilliat tackles and dug in.
Pretty much the same as most on the night. Nobody had a good game in terms of possession, for both sides that is too. Just look at Virgil, for all the praise he’s getting (and rightly so) people forget that his passing was just as bad for large parts. One point in the first half he tried to play a long diagonal out to Salah but it was about 15yards ahead of Salah and went out for a throw, was a terrible attempt of a pass.
Think even Fabinho would admit it wasn’t his best game but for all he got wrong, I think he redeemed himself with that tackle in our box.
Both teams were incredibly sloppy, giving away cheap fouls etc but the fact we still cane out 3-1 winners, away to one of Europe’s best teams whilst playing so sloppy I think is a testament to just how far we have come.
The way Fabinho has come in for a fair amount of stick is harsh, it’s not like Robbo who cost us a goal, it’s not like he mistimed his tackles and gave away a penalty. It wasn’t a vintage performance from him and it wasn’t a sh*t performance from him, it was a performance that fitted the mould of the game - sloppy and average.
Expect to see much better from him and he’s proven he can deliver so I’m not worried.
