Said it in the in game thread that he was fouled also 1st half there looked a clear handball from one of their lads on a cross into their box and no replays shown… hmmmm
Yes, that, the foul on Fabinho no replays but on the other hand Mané had a few good chances in the first half and IMO some where playing with the handbrake on.
Friend and Atkinson were lousy as usual but we brought it upon ourselves.
How much are we missing this man in front of our CBs? Discuss.
Not a lot.
His form at CB is way better than the form he’s shown in midfield, Henderson is a bigger loss from midfield if he has to play more at CB.
Not only that but Fabinho took to CB like a duck to water. From minute one he was classy, calm, collected and top class. Henderson at CB? Err yeah that shits for extreme emergencies only from now on please. By taking Fabinho out of midfield you aren’t necessarily losing anything as you can still form a world class CM. By taking Henderson out of midfield not only are you not gaining at CB you are losing drive from midfield. Thiago is ridiculously talented and Gini is a great player that recreates many of the roles Henderson provides in CM in a different way but neither offer drive and leadership. Milner offers that but just his age is really showing these days. And none of Keita, Ox or Jones (for now) do. When all are fit and available (minus the long term CB injuries obviously) our best option is Matip and Fabinho with Thiago in front as the 6, Henderson as an 8 and then the other 8 picked depending on the tactical challenge faced by opposition.
With Fabinho in DM many of those counters won’t happen against us.
We need 3 clones of him.
One to partner Fabinho at CB
One to play in DM
And one to play RB (you never know).
Neco and Milner can do a decent job.
Yeah, Klopp said a few months ago that Fabinho doesn’t even count the RB position as one he wants to cover. DM or CB if he needs to.
From Fab’s significant other half:
Great message from Mrs Tavares and talking sense, lets get behind our boys
The problem is that a full stadium would be right behind these boys. All we have now is social media, and social media is fucking mental.
We should invite them to share with us rather than that twitter crowd.
I’ve had many a whingeing twat sat within earshot at Anfield.
Tell Jose to fucking move then.
The lads would be better off spending time on here or other forums (or just not at all). Twitter and Facebook is littered with fairweather, knee-jerk, hyper-critical, clueless cunts who seem to know fuck all about the club or football generally, and even less about support.
You’d hate to think the players or their loved ones see these shitholes as a fair representation of our supporters.
Like Fab’s missus, though.
If they join can we block them from the pre-match threads and also give them a list of moaning bastards to block
Injured… again
Another one of those whenever ones which we all enjoy so much.
I got the strangest notification before…
It was from TIA saying Fab is injured and asking if I knew what a CB does…
What’s a CB??
