I was watching back a few bits from older games for a post to compare the current state of the midfield with the older one, but instead I am just posting this. Watch Fabinho and Gini in this clip. Look at Fabinho and Gini: - They stay close to... show more

Grav and Dom just lack IQ. None of them stay back, so simple to do but they don’t do it

also the fact our midfielders wait for the ball, rather than moving around

Not to put pressure on the boy but there was moments against Leeds in pre season I think, when Trey was doing the very things you’re asking from your pivot.

Fabinho was like a centre half in midfield. He literally took us to another level.

To add the defensive aggression is also second to none. Klopp always wanted to win “2nd balls” or to get to a challenge first. If you lose out so be it, someone else must cover. These days we “back off” and shepard until it’s too late. VVD king of that

This is because gini, hendo, milli and fab knew their roles, accepted they weren't the stars of the show and it was the three absolute ballers up front who took the glory. Knew when to fill in for trent and robbo and worked like savages for the team.

This is what happens when you go to 4-2-3-1 to accommodate for Wirtz

Damn we were so fucking good then 😩

"when one goes the other one stays", I heard this for the first time when I was 8yo and for some reason Grav and Szobo can't comprehend this concept

All our build up is from our cbs, look at any other team near half way and their cms/dms are the ones passing the ball to look for space, with us, vvd and other cb have the ball and all our players are in the final 3rd just waiting, we have no tempo controller,

People used to say “why can’t Gini play for us like he does for Holland” after every international break. Gini was incredible for us. Knew his, was disciplined, could attack when needed. Covered for Robbo when required. He was tactically, excellent. We’ve missed him.

You aren't getting that with Ryan and Dom. Maybe the big contracts have gone to there heads. And they think they can please themselves. I don't think Andoni had Bournemouth playing with no discipline. Thats how we looked yesterday.

Macca, Dom & Grav have the same amount of PL winners medals as those 2. You don't need to go back to 2019 to see a championship winning midfield.

The squad construction is so strange. We had a super team with Fabinho, Gini, and Hendo who were all workers. Szobo, Grav, and Wirtz are all picked for their skill on the ball first.

Both in their peak, 2 of the best midfielders in the league.

“ close to each other to maintain options” on Sunday whenever Virgil or Jeremy had the ball out midfield were hiding behind the Newcastle players

@DavAg17 Fabinho is good

When i think of box to box, I think of headless chickens

Fabinho never been replaced, super player

That’s why we need a 6 to sit there and screen the CBs and drop in defense when CBs out of position who can corral out wide allowing the full backs to push forward - we have no 6 and as soon as they bomb forward, it’s wide space to be run at- same shit last season- sacrifice

Sure but back then we had Robbo, Trent, Salah, mane and Bobby. We didn't need our midfielders to take risks.

Fabinho absolutely unreal 😫

Dawg look at my current midfielders. Szobo and Gravenberch lacks football iq , loves to pass sideways and backwards to keep it safe and always losing the ball and afraid to win the ball back. Bunch of pussios in midfield.

We could also rely on our fullbacks to create and progress the ball and on our wingers to win their 1v1s and arrive at the far post. We can’t do that anymore and it’s a bigger problem.

Fabinho était extraordinaire, même aujourd'hui je ne vois pas un 6 comme lui l'était si nous devions aller sur le marché. Renforcé notre défense car virgil est catastrophique nos latéraux aussi. Et ensuite se concentrer sur l'attaque par la suite

So accurate

Gini and Fabinho are two different profiles of midfielders compared to Szoboslai, Gravenberch and Macca. It takes a lot of discipline to change an attacking midfielder to a defensive midfielder.

Was it the first PL match when they played a pivot together?

why are we still comparing teams to klopps teams? ffs it's different profiles and systems

I could show clips where we conceded on fast breaks under Klopp with those two as well.

@Linda_Pizzuti @John_W_Henry See this read this well our midfield are bad we desperately need a dmf tell that hughes to get us 1

Kloppo ❤️💨

Let's keep lying to ourselves we don't need a DM for now. Whenever they are ready to get serious, they'll prioritise

Liverpool have signed only 2 specialist defensive midfielders since Brendan Rodgers took over in 2012. Fabinho and Endo. Let that sink in.
