Wilbur Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Timo Werner seems to be finding his feet there as a Chelsea player in Fabinho's pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Antony Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Fab has been more than solid dealing with Werner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvinus85 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Werner has been having to run at the defenders by himself. Only Kante showed any other kind of offensive hunger, Mount's been nowhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soylent Brown Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 That was better from Wijnaldum, A well-timed run and he got off a decent shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilbur Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 It is good to see that Klopp can play Fabinho as a defender against teams like Chelsea with limited offensive firepower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljkeane Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Fabinho was excellent. I will say though basically what he did was win challenges one on one and step in to nick the ball; which is what he does in midfield anyway. You'd be concerned about him maybe having issues with people making runs off him and getting the offside trap right as a makeshift centre back but Chelsea never really got into a position to test him like that. Still, I don't think we're going to able to buy a centre back to be fourth choice who's going to be more solid than that so there doesn't seem much point in spending the money. Especially if Wijnaldum stays and we have the extra option in midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AncalagonTheBlack Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 crazy stats for Thiago - he had more passes in his 45 minutes than Chelsea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iskaral Pust Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Great by Fabinho. I’m sorry I had any doubts. We were comfortably in control of that game and dominated MF to starve Werner of good service, even though Jorginho, Kante, Kovacic and Havertz together would expect to be able to hold a lot of possession. Chelsea always have enough quality (esp. Werner) that they could snatch a goal against the run of play, and almost did with a penalty, but it would have been very lucky for them to get even a point today. We out-played them pretty comprehensively. For Liverpool, that’s two wins against tough opponents. Both Salah and Mane are scoring already. Unfortunately both Hendo and TAA show the effects of missing pre-season with injuries. Fortunately Thiago stepped right into the team and game with zero preparation — I guess world class players can just do that. Great to get a clean sheet but we need Joe and Joel healthy, fit and robust. Firmino still not quite on it. Minamino could have come on earlier there to show what he can do. The kids and subs will play in the LC midweek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, not entirely, but more passes than any Chelsea player is still pretty crazy. He also had the most passes in the opposition half of any player in the game. He's gonna push Liverpool's creative baseline so much closer to the opposition goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
