Paul Merson has highlighted why Fabinho is the most important player for Liverpool despite the likes of Virgil van Dijk, Alisson Becker and Mohamed Salah all potentially earning this title.
The Liverpool number three is among the best in the world in the deeper-lying midfield role where he offers himself as a shield to the defence. Fabinho 's contribution to the team allows for the likes of Thiago to attack and create.
After playing 48 games in all competitions for Liverpool last season, Sky Sports pundit Merson believes the 28-year-old is the one player whose absence is felt the most when he doesn't play.
