Fabinho

[Jairzinho]

Brazil will continue to be a circus act for as long as they build the team around that shit mong Neymar.

[Boss]

They've left out Marcelo, Willian, Fabinho, Alex Telles, Douglas Costa, Felipe Anderson and Lucas Moura. And have brought Allan, Paqueta, Everton, Fagner, Miranda and Cassio.

[El Rojo]

Absolutely disgusted to hear that Fabinho gets a good holiday period, no Copa America and an even greater appreciation of our support.

I remember this thread well. When I went to bed, it didn't exist. I woke up to 8 pages, even though the actual thread was only a couple of hours old! It's all turned out pretty well too. 

 

I'm looking forward to this summer's (well winter's ffs) version.

Love the man. Watched a video compilation on him today and his passing range is amazing. Such a wonderful player. He's got it all and will only get better.

He’s no Andre Gomes

I remember people saying he was going to oust Henderson from the line up while I said him and Henderson actually complimented each other. Glad Jurgen felt the same way.

[Jenson]

Probably has been said by someone earlier on in the thread but I only found out the other day that he played for Real Madrid while Mourinho was manager (made one substitute appearance for the first team according to Wiki).

Shitcoat has quite the knack for ignoring the talents of great players.

Really? Man Utd boss Mourinho refused to go for Liverpool signing Fabinho over 'versatility'

by Paul Vegas a year ago 

 

https://www.tribalfootball.com/articles/really-man-utd-boss-mourinho-refused-to-go-for-liverpool-signing-fabinho-over-versatility-4233757

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho chose to give Liverpool signing Fabinho a swerve because of his versatility, it has been claimed.

 

The Manchester Evening News says the suggestion the Brazilian rejected an approach from United at any stage is false.

 

United manager Mourinho had ruled out a move for Fabinho, having identified Tottenham's Eric Dier and Nemanja Matic as his first and second-choice defensive midfield targets.

 

Mourinho's preference was to recruit an established Premier League player and Fabinho was also partly dismissed because he was a converted midfielder, having begun his Monaco career at right-back.

 

Fabinho joined Liverpool from Monaco on Monday night in a deal worth £39million.

Yeah I was one of those people, I forgot how good Henderson was further forward. Glad I was wrong. 

 

And fair play to Henderson too, I went from thinking he was grandaded into the team to thinking he is one of our most important players in the space of a couple of months. 

 

What a time to be a red. 

[Elite]

I was going to buy Jose a Swiss army knife for his birthday but I don't think I'll bother now.

Which, I guess, is why Henderson didn't play much until he was moved. Good call Vlad.

32 PL appearances in 2018/19 would seem to suggest Jurgen was happy to play Henderson pretty much all of the season. Why have to put down Henderson to try and big up Fabinho when both were excellent?

Over a third of those were from the bench. I’m not putting Henderson down, I’m trying to stop you throwing your shoulder out.

FABINHO SLAMS EIGHT TEAM-MATES FOR LACKING BARCE BELIEF 

[Pureblood]

I reckon Wijnaldum is going to be a great manager one day.

[aws]

Should have kept  that to himself. What happens in the ice bath stays in the ice bath. 

[Boss]

He did a podcast for Globoesporte and these are the snippets of what he said.

 

• Says Jürgen's training is on another level. The intensity is always cranked up to the max and it was hard to keep up in the beginning

• Says the boys were always reassuring that he'd get his chance after a while, and that the same happened to Robbo and some of the other guys

• Fabinho talks about the day after the Huddersfield match, when he trained with the boys that didn't play. Towards the end of training, Fabinho, exhausted, laid down in the pitch and Pep came to him and said -"Come, Fabinho, just a little more". A pretty important moment for him as it signaled his breakthrough as a starter

• Talks about the Huddersfield and United matches and how that was the turning point for him as a starter and when our football "clicked" to him

• Virgil's always cracking jokes and is a fun guy all around

• Virgil Van Djik shouts his own name ("VIRG!!!") whenever he's about to go for a ball in the box and everyone knows it's time to make way

• Pep Lijnders speaks Portuguese and talked more to Fabinho than Klopp in the beginning

• Fabinho's in awe of everything Van Djik related. Goes as far as to not have words and gasp trying to describe his dominance

• Van Djik and Wij are Fabinho's best mates and helped him settle right from the get-go

• Salah's reserved but talkative. Happiest guy in the world when around Lovren

• Salah's playful with Fabinho and challenges him to speak english around the other players (corrected by my man /u/mattcrvg)

• He was surprised that Hendo and Milner were always talking him through things in the locker room, given that he was the main threat to their places in the XI. Thought it was very nice from them (credit to /u/mattcrvg)

• Fabinho calls our dutch boy Gini

• Salah's the main star of the team in his opinion, but he'd give VVD the Ballon D'or for his performance this season

• Fabinho's always wished to play with/against Messi. Talks about how even his long legs and patience were never enough to make a good tackle

• Fabinho's top 3 players in the world this season: VVD, Messi and Mané

• Says a team effort is the absolute most important thing for success currently in football. "Individual talent doesn't work miracles anymore"

• In the dressing room at Camp Nou after the match, Jürgen laughed and congratulated the boys for they had played one of their best matches all year

• In the ice pool with Mané after the game, Klopp approaches Fab and asks: -"Gini said we'll get through next week. What do you think?"

  Fab responds - "I'm sure of it"

  Klopp goes - "Good. There's three of us already!"

• In the preparation for the second leg against Barça, even with Salah and Bobby out, the sentiment with the players was that they'd find a way to get through

• Things went by naturally during the match, exactly as it was planned, he says. After the second goal, he says he knew Barça was already out of the game

• Says the atmosphere had a huge influence that game. -"The stadium that day. Wow."

• Fabinho was already prepared for extra time and was caught by surprise like some of the other boys with the 4th goal.

• Origi said that he didn't see Arnold's corner, and that his shot was pure reflex

• Fabinho says there are only two pitches he's played where the atmosphere's really different from the rest in Europe: Olympique's Vélodrome and Anfield

• Says he never felt anything similar to the atmosphere in the 4-0

• Talks about the YNWA after the game. -"Everyone gathered around the Kop, looking back at the difficulty of the game without two world-class players... I almost teared up at one point, but Firmino told me something that made it go away"

• Sings a bit of YNWA around 40:20. Legend

• Says it would be really frustrating not to win a title after everything they did during the season for the fans, that are special around Liverpool
