But Swab, I could say the same about your snide remark over Fabinho towards me (hard-on ), something I didn't expect as I felt we were engaged in a friendly debate/chat. But whatever.
But you know, I wasn't twisting anything as I do recall (correct me if I am wrong) you not being overly impressed by him (which is fair enough as you haven't seen much of him), hence the reason why I don't think you see how valuable he can and will be. Even if going by pre-season games alone, surely you could see the huge difference in what he brings in comparison to what Hendo has bought over the last few years?
Tbh, I am a little surprised that you don't see what I see in Fabinho (even if it's only pre-season matches), as I do recall you understanding the importance and knowing how good Lucas was for us when played in the 6 role, something I still can't see in Hendo in the 6 role.
It wasn't snide on my part, just a figure of speech, so apologies if it sounded bad, as it wasn't meant that way.
I only saw 1 pre-season game, and didn't see anywhere near enough to make a call on Fabinho.
I mentioned that he looked slow, but also said it was only pre-season.
I also remember him misplacing a few passes, but again, said it was only pre-season.
I can't be impressed when I have barely seen him play, and nor would I write him off.
It's just far too early for me to make that call.
He's here to replace Can, and if good enough, push for the 6 (ish) role.
Klopp's already spoken of Henderson playing further up, as well as at 6 (ish), so it's pretty clear he is foremost in Klopp's mind, which is fair enough as it's up to the newbie to impress enough to oust the current player.
We'll see, but if you're waiting for Henderson to be benched and not a regular, I think you'll be disappointed.
