Did you watch his performances against Red Star and Cardiff?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
He's not. But you'll play better teams than those almost every week.
Did you watch how he failed to close the channel when Napoli scored the winner? or his performance against Chelsea? He's poor and there's a reason Klopp is afraid to play him/doesn't trust him.
His next two games are Red Star and Fulham...
Well we can only judge players based on the games they’ve played. Fabinho’s only made a handful of appearances and has been a mixed bag. Not enough to write a player off completely.
Where’s the white text?
We can thank the German cheerleader for some of that. By the way he reacted to two mishit crosses, it seemed as if Fabinho'd turned up late for training yesterday claiming sex with Klopp's daughter as a legitimate excuse.
So wouldn’t it be fairer to say he’s been a mixed bag then based on a few appearances, rather than writing him off entirely?
It would be even fairer to state the truth - that being he is a less talented footballer than Bruno Cheyrou.
Makes you wonder what Jardim saw in him, or how he did so well for Monaco.
Leave poor Bruno out of this,
Not sure what game people were watching. He was no worse than Wijnaldum or Milner.
Makes you wonder the same about Bakayoko
All I'm saying is that he's literally been average at best in those two games and poor to awful in the rest.
Yeah, you definitely need to watch the game again. He was much worse than Milner....at times, he looked totally out of his depth playing.
Cardiff and Red Star 
How else can we judge his performances if 50% of his starts are against those sides?Cardiff and Red Star
Maybe there’s a reason he gets put into the team for those games.
I wouldn't write him off just yet. He's been very hit and miss thus far. I remember people saying the same about Bernardo after he was out of the team and patchy in his start at City, this season he's been one of the best players in the league.
He might be another Bernardo, he might be another Bakayoko, its too early to judge imho.
He was total shite today though and looked lost dealing with the intensity Arsenal played at.

Oh which of you feckers did that?

+1 here
Bernardo showed he could play and was good on the ball and would suit pep style
To me Fabinho doesn’t look like he fits with Klopps style at all even when playing half decent he looks out of place to other players on the side compared to keita who I think looks right at place. Klopps style of player
A strange transfer but defo wouldn’t be writing him Off after one game

Loving the tagline!
Fabinho is a good player, but he is slow to play as a no.6 in Klopp's 4-3-3. Fabinho was poor in first half, but improved a bit in the second when Klopp changed it to 4-2-3-1 and moved Wijnaldum by his side. Fabinho still dawdled on the ball too much. Liverpool supporters dis Henderson and his sideways passing too much, but in my opinion, he would have been a better fit for today's game.
But this season, Klopp is again transitioning to his favored 4-2-3-1 formation which he used in BVB, at least against bottom half sides. Fabinho may eventually come good in that double pivot setup. Although the ideal man to play that position just left last summer on a free, and will prove to be a bigger miss than Coutinho.
Meh, new league, new system, Klopp's pressing game is demanding, there'll be loads of wanking about him in a half a year or so.
Hasn’t been the player we expected or needed him to be so far but I won’t write him off after a handful of games. Let’s ease him in a bit more in easier games against lesser sides before we put him in the team at the Emirates, he clearly was a level below most players on the pitch, the speed of the game was simply too much of him.
Hopefully Keita is back soon.
Hopefully Keita is back soon.
Hope he continues to be absolutely shite.
But even he's flattered to deceive
He’s a turd. Another nothing player in Klopp’s midfield. Liverpool’s placing in the league table is very false at the minute as their overall performances have been quite average. Teams are starting to suss them out and I can see them accumulating less points against the top 6 this season than they even got last year, which itself was down on the season before.
You’re such a WUM and awful poster when Liverpool is concerned.
Tell me who should be above us? United and Tottenham who are grinding out wins and winning in stoppage time against midtable teams and have already lost in the league, United even multiple times? Arsenal who easily lost against two of the top 6 sides they faced and couldn’t beat us at home? Didn’t think so.
Only City and Chelsea deserve to be above us at the moment and that’s likely the case after today. We haven’t lost in the league, easily held our own against any top 6 side we’ve faced (3 away from home without a loss) and seen out games professionally. You can’t win every game 4-0 ffs.
And I’m not sure what you mean with “another nothing midfielder” since Milner and Wijnaldum have both been excellent this season.
I thought he was shit too yesterday. Definitely not the same Fabinho we saw at Monaco in their title winning season.
He’s shite. Any player can look good in Ligue 1. We’ve seen many a player come over here and look average (Obertan etc).
Yeah, a Man Utd fan on the biggest Man Utd forum around being negative about Liverpool. He’s such a WUM.
I don’t know why Liverpool fans come here in their droves looking for Utd fans to say positive stuff about their team? If you want that, there are loads of Liverpool forums out there, no?
Didn't Vidic and Evra struggle intially? New country, new team, new style of play...Too early to write him off.
Should really always give new players a season before you write them off, but he plays for Liverpool so he might well be the worst signing in the Premier League era.
I there’s a reason there was very little competition for his signature. We were constantly linked but it was all from his end. Think he’s an alright player, but Liverpool in their current situation should be targeting better.
I'm just happy United didn't go after him.
Yesterday he looked like a red card waiting to happen. He seems like a player who will completely dominate bad opponents, but struggles to play well in high tempo games. Still early though, so hard to say.
Badge of honour mate. There's nothing like a redcafe LOL player thread to make them superstars within weeks or months. You'll be smiling at that tagline most weeks.Oh which of you feckers did that?
Almost three years without a tag line.
Since when do we judge a player on one bad game? I'm a big fan of Fabinho and wanted him to come here but he was terrible against Arsenal, not sure why Klop didn't sub him off.
That said, he's new to the PL and will probably get better over time.

You were lucky multiple times this season mate. Chelsea last minute wonder goal, Mahrez missing the pen, Arsenal totally outplayed you. Chelsea have been much better then you guys. It is not hating but teams seem to have found you out, heck you scored just 2 more then us !!
Yeah, Obertan came to us after an astonishing season for Bordeaux having played mouth watering 870 minutes in the league having amassed staggering 1 goal 0 assists in the easy league. The year before he was running riot, 700 minutes and 2 goals 1 assist was probably what convinced us in the end, not every player can do that (apart from every player in Ligue 1 obviously).
Looking back, I'm starting to wonder whether we weren't simply
