da bwin： Jurgen Klopp has made a habit of rotating his midfield this season in order to contend with both the Premier League and the Champions League, along with a brief period spent in the FA Cup and the Carabao Cup.
Whilst the German often rotates the likes of Adam Lallana, Gini Wijnaldum, James Milner, Fabinho, Jordan Henderson and Xherdan Shaqiri – his preferred system allows for just three midfielders in a 4-3-3 formation – a number of players throughout the team are given weekly starts no matter what the competition.
Apart from Alisson, who is likely to play every game, names such Andrew Robertson, Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino are the first names on the teamsheet, playing every game if they are able to.
Has Alisson been Liverpool’s most important signing of the season? Check out the video below to find out why Jurgen Klopp thinks so…
Whilst the midfield is the only area that seems to be regularly changed, there is one player amongst the aforementioned six midfielders who has to fall into the group of regular starters – Fabinho.
As seen by his statistics from the 2-1 win over Tottenham before his withdrawal in the 77th-minute, Henderson was largely ineffective and failed to provide any sort of impact both defensively and offensively.
Upon Fabinho’s introduction to the field of play, the Reds instantly looked more assured, likely to press on and get a winner, something that they eventually did end up doing thanks to the Brazilian’s dominant cameo.
The former Real Madrid star is yet to let Klopp down and always delivers classy performances when called upon, whilst it can also be argued that he is the most creative figure from a number of mostly workmanlike midfield options.
Henderson’s sideways passing and reluctance to punch the ball into the final third is starting to become a bit of an issue as goalscoring chances become few and far between for Liverpool – at the business end to the season, Klopp has to be playing his best players week in, week out, and Fabinho has no right being on the bench during such a crucial period.
