Fabinho's influence on the Liverpool midfield
Despite being European champions, Liverpool have a squad full of divisive players. Some are undervalued and some are simply misunderstood. There are a number who tick both boxes and one such player is Fabinho.
The Brazilian doesn’t score goals. He doesn’t assist them either. He doesn’t play 70-yard crossfield passes that are shown on the Match of the Day highlight reel and he’s not the sort to dance past four opposition players before picking out a team-mate. The former Monaco …

Adrian Adequate As Alisson Absent
After what felt like an interminable wait, Liverpool today gave an update on the Alisson Becker's injury status.
The Brazilian keeper was substituted in the 38th minute of the Reds' 4-1 victory over Norwich City at Anfield on Friday night with what was speculated to be a calf injury.

The confusing rhetoric around Liverpool's stature

But that aside, it was pretty plain sailing …

Player Ratings as Liverpool Lift the Super Cup
Liverpool win yet another European trophy; becoming a bit boring this, isn’t it? It was a long way away from a great performance, but the lads got the job done in the end. Adrian was the hero as he saved Tammy Abraham’s penalty in the shootout which will undoubtedly do his confidence the world of good as he continues to deputise for the injured Alisson. The only downside was the fact we had to travel thousands of miles to play …
