      The two defensive mids were employed and much higher to compensate for including Shaq into the team, so we were effectively playing with two midfielders with Bobby dropping deep to help out.

      They were higher up to try and condense the pitch which partially worked but we were still opened up a bit too easy at times.

      Didnā€™t look like he was overly thinking about what he should be doing.
      In which case the same could be said for Gini who had less of an effect on the game than Fab.

      Yeh looks to me like a player whoā€™s having to think all the time - heā€™s not ā€˜feelingā€™ the game in the Premier League......quite yet.

      Itā€™s really hard sometimes to read exactly what the intent  is from the positional set up.

      For example that looks ok.....if weā€™re pushing up on the counter or the Fb are tucked in.

      Sometimes theyā€™re just reacting to the oppo overloading etc. Fascinating though.....


      Well for someone not "feeling" the game Fabinho sure did well to be statistically the best midfielder on the pitch!

      It's no coincidence those who defend Henderson so much keep finding fake faults with Fabinho.

      Itā€™s not a criticism mate I think heā€™s gonna be a monster when he settles in fully and Iā€™m a huge fan.

      Top signing.

      Just my observation to date.

      I have always liked this lad which is why its been so frustrating to see Henderson start game after game in front of him.

      What are you on about. Fab was clearly off the pace for months and didn't deserve to start. Nothing to do with Hendo.
      He's starting to improve now and will hopefully start contending for a regular place soon.

      Absolutely.

      A couple of things to iron out, but nothing major.

      No I didnā€™t think it was criticism from yourself or Swab just my interpretation of their positions and possibly why Klopp went with it.

      Continues to improve. Mo will get all the attention, but Fab went about his work well and is starting to show why we've brought him in.  Has a niggly edge that I like to see in a team.

      looks so much better now he is settling in to the club . He has definitely got the pace of the game now and doesn't look like he is going to lose the ball at all now can only see him getting stronger with every game now.

      Yep he seems to be adjusting to the pace of things now. Klopp is once again proving to be a master of integrating players into the time at the right speed. He did it with Robbo and Ox last season and weā€™re seeing it again with Shaqiri and Fabinho this season.

      But but but everyone was suggesting something else , they were demanding he be put into the team because he cost Ā£50plus etc etc etc

      I donā€™t think some people still havenā€™t figured out that Klopp knows what he is doing

      You can't put it better! Klopp knows best. And do not forget the language barrier.

      I am also guilty of being too impatient with Fab. Yesterday he took a new high. For the first time he looked comfortable and able to play with the flow of the game. He's adjusting more and more to the PL. Bad news for Henderson though.

      don't be surprised to see Henderson in the middle of Kieta and Fab if Henderson is picked on Tuesday it say JĆ¼rgen still has him in his best XI when available.
      Unlike the haters if Jordan doesn't play again and we win the league I won't be sad for Jordan I will be delighted for everyone who loves liverpool

      You can see him growing game by game.

      Heā€™s still a way off ā€œbossingā€ it - at least the way I think he will eventually - but heā€™s developing well now and is a realistic option in the big games.

      As much as I want to see Fabinho play midfield, I think the best option for us would be to have him come off the bench and play CB a few times (when we are leading) and slowly embed him into that role to act as cover or used in rotation, at least until we have 3 fit center backs.

      Wonder if he might go to a 5 and play Gini there in a 3 like he did against Brighton away last year.

      He will be our back-up defender and I would also training Henderson there as well.
