There aren’t many Liverpool players who have entirely escaped criticism this season, if any. Most people would agree Luis Diaz was the Reds’ most consistent attacker prior to his injury while Alisson Becker has bailed the team out at the back as often as he can. But the rest? Their report cards would not make for happy reading.
Few have drawn as much scorn as Fabinho though. It’s in part thanks to the tremendous performances he has delivered over his time with Liverpool, which mean people expect him to be phenomenal every week, but much of the analysis has been entirely fair.
It has reached the point where former Red Jamie Carragher tweeted “Liverpool were awful, what is going on with Fabinho,” after the recent loss to Nottingham Forest. It’s a fair question to ask, but the player himself might have a simple answer.
