Two points dropped for me. Salah was very off the boil and Firmino going off for Danny really stifled us. Not getting into the Fabinho v Henderson debate but playing both of them made us rely too much on Wijnaldum for the attacking link up from midfield - and he didn't have a stand out game.
However, trying to focus on the positives - Matip is doing a good job in that central defence. Thought Milner had a good game. Fabinho is looking like a real tidy player for us in a multitude of positions.
That's two great performances from Fabinho against United this season. I was happy with the lineup but in hindsight I probably would just have gone with Keita instead of Henderson, who looked lost outside the 6 role.
Fabinho's introduction into the team has been extremely well managed by Klopp. As was Oxlade-Chamberlain's last season. I'd imagine most of us agree with you about the hindsight decision too. Too much respect given to United perhaps with the selection?
