COMMENTARY
Liverpool midfielder Fabinho was asked to play a central defender against Wolves on Monday and actually excelled in the position. The Reds may have lost 2-1 to Wolves in order for their FA Cup dream to end quite early on this season but the 25-year-old impressed a number of fans on social media none the less. Fabinho was cool and calm just like one fan described which was vital during the game as he have had some inexperienced players around him. Dejan Lovren noticeably went off injured in the opening minutes of the match and you feel Jurgen Klopp may now utilised Fabinho as a centre-back if the Croatian is set to miss a noticeable amount of game time. Based on the reaction of Reds fans below, they wouldn’t mind that scenario as one supporter even boldly claimed the Brazilian was already better than Lovren. However what is definitely clear after the loss to Wolves is that Fabinho has now clearly settled into life at Anfield after joining in the summer, as his form continues to impress regardless of where he plays.
