He's been a bit shit lately.

Just back from a long injury. Would walk into our team unfortunately. Feck Liverpool, however.
He’s as slow as tar.
No recovery pace in him whatsoever. Chelsea are running past him with ease all game here on the break.

The 18 yr old for Chelsea - Billy Gilmour - did a lovely nutmeg on him if anyone has the gif?

Freds bitch. Waste man!
Thanks mate.
Honestly after how he affected their UCL title positevely, I'm sure the liverpool fans could care less about a dip in form by him. Also he seems like a large lad, he needs lots of games to get back in rythm
One of the best CBs in the league this season. Doesn't matter who they put beside him, an actual CB like Matip, shite like Williams or Philips, a centre mid like Henderson, he always looks comfortable.
Fecking infuriating looking back and thinking they would crumble without Van Dijk.

Certainly stepped up for them annoyingly. Also has one of the most punchable faces.

Was my muppet signing when he was at Monaco, thanks Man Utd

His defending v Rashford was better than that overhyped VVD defending v Spurs from a few years back
He’s a top player, we didn’t test him enough today though in that game. My gut tells me if that Liverpool team had played a top class team today (I.e a Bayern Munich or an in form City) he would have been exposed more.
Funny how we weren't interested in him..WC player

I'd have preferred Matip or Gomes to have played in his place. Was immense for them. Managed the dark arts to perfection and outran and outmuscled our attackers with ease. Very impressive.
Very good player and not surprised in the least at how good he is playing in the heart of defense. He just looks like a centre half. What did surprise me today was his speed. I think he surprised Rashford too. Had him 1 v 1 and chose to try and take him on rather than pass to Cavani and Fabanho matched him stride for stride...
Looks a better defender than midfielder.
CB's generally have their pace really underrated all the time, its weird. At most clubs the CB's are always among the quickest in straight line sprint speed just lack a little acceleration because of their size. Once they get going they're pretty rapid. Fabinho was always reasonable quick as a fullback if not Sane quick.
Hes there 2nd best centre half when all their players are fit
He’s fantastic. I do think Van Dijk’s absence is hurting them, by though, by taking Fabinho out of central midfield. If he could have played further forward we’d have been struggling to make it out of our half.
Erm, they have crumbled. 3 wins in 9. A lot of their issues in the build up play come from VVD missing, not to mention his set piece threat and being forced to play Fabinho deeper.
Damn. This guy came good for them at last didn't he. Incredible defensive player, and I rate him particularly high as a DM too. Players like this guy and Fernandinho has been a bit underrated in terms of how involved they have been in their teams winning streaks. So aggressive and horrible to play against.
It's the sort of midfielder we should be looking at. Someone as good defensively as our CB's to play in front of them, aggressive and proactive but also a better passer than most midfielders in the league.

Well at least your team didn't overreact to a goal scored in the RO16 vs. Man City to choose Bakayoko over Fabinho...WC player

He is superb today. I blame VLG and Jose not to sign him even though he is available for two years if I remember correctly.
Top class today. We missed out on him big time.
Great player. His ability to put in world-class performances in different positions is very impressive, reminds me of prime Azpilicueta
He plays the positions Wan Bissaka should be playing for United
Called it.
His fall from grace has been precipitous. Apparently better than Casemiro according to the scouse 
I don't recall anyone saying Fabinho has ever been better than Casemiro.His fall from grace has been precipitous. Apparently better than Casemiro according to the scouse
Thought he was 33/34 for some reason. Only 29.
He can still be a good player if they put legs around him.

Absolutely Essien levels of finished
Good to see that he's got another 2/3 years on his deal

We could use him in league 2 (about his level), if he's willing to half triple his wages.
He is being tasked with doing too much this season. Liverpool's midfield lacks any sort of cohesive organisation which has exposed his flaws in possession.
That bit vs Napoli is horrendous
Despite being 29 there's a lot of mileage on those legs from moving that lanky heavy frame around
Shame really as he was class to watch once upon a time. That performance against Red Star Belgrade
