I am talking about our very own Fabs

0_GettyImages-1245309858.jpg


He was a sensational DM who was always Mr Reliable and I was hoping he would recapture his form but he hasn't improved at all since coming back. I think Steph is better than him at the moment, though I would stop short of saying bench him, I would like to see how he does in a 4 man MF
 
I don't think Badger tits is better than him but I'm really worried about Fabs ... We cannot push on for 4th if he's not at that level we know he's capable of being at.
 
What a shock it is that a Brazilian international drops off in their late 20s.

At the beginning, I'd have said the same but, seriously, can we get any worse with Bajčetic instead Fabinho in midfield?

He's hardly winning challenges and now, seemingly, only have their legs gone but so has his ability to sense and snuff out danger. He's not with a start any more. At some point you have to accept that you have to try something else-- we'd still lose, likely, but let's give it a try.

I think once 4th becomes a real long shot, we may see more and more kids thrown in ... Badger Tits included

Say that to Casemiro ...

He’s one of the few examples you can use, but think about most Brazilian players. Even the greats like Ronaldo and Ronaldinho plummeted after 27. The great man had injury problems but the point should still stand. When they get to their late 20s they have a significant drop off.
 
Are we talking about a white elephant or an elephant in the room here. White elephants, there are about half a dozen because Klopp doesn't like selling. Elephant in the room, well it isn't how shit our midfield is, everyone in world football is talking about it.

As for Fabinho, he's on a downward curve, but he's playing next to Thiago, who is absolutely done. He should be playing next to some mid 20s water carrier who can cover every blade of grass 37 times, not some knackered old fuck who seems to have forgotten that opposition players are also on the pitch and might get in the way of what he's trying to do.

Please don't piss on the mixed metaphor
 
Can we play Badger Tits regularly, so as we can get properly stuck into him the minute he has a bad game?

Best get him up to speed.
 
Who is?

Thiago is a liability. Keita is never fit, and even though everyone seemed to think he played well yesterday his coming on coincided with us conceding and generally looking even more shit defensively. It's not like we're winning anything this season... So if we're not buying anyone in the next five minutes we should at least give some potential talent some experience
 
I have wondered why Souness never re-entred football management. Here is probably a reason why. Axe those 4 and play who exactly? 4ft Naby, 5 games in Steph, and Ox?

Souness tells Klopp to axe four Liverpool stars as club’s situation is becoming ‘more worrying’
The pundit has also called for Klopp to axe Thiago, Jordan Henderson, Harvey Elliott and Fabinho.
