Why do people keep thinking we will go to the market for a new Centre Back. Fabs is clearly a very good CB. With him, we have enough quality and I could even see him switch there semi permantly.

Did great agains Bayern, Werner is still in his pocket today.

We have got a really good squad.

Roll on!

Fabinho was excellent at the weekend but we still need him in midfield more often than not.

So often Fabinho has played in midfield an allowed VVD and Co to get their sunglasses out because he's shut down the attack before they can get at the back line.

Also Fabinhos clipped balls over the top of a back 4 is a huge weapon for us, we have scored countless goals already from him doing that. Playing him CB I feel he's too deep to execute those types of passes.

Apparently its Klopp that is wanting to add a new CB. Personally i am happy going in with what we got. VVD is world class, Gomez is quality and Matip when fit is a very good player. Fab has also shown that he can also step up to the plate. The only gamble would be if Gomez, Matip and Fab were all injured the same time which could actually happen as Fab has had a couple of niggles in his time here.

Need a proper Cb cover, not one of your best midfielders being regularly used out of his best position.

If fab gets injured you lose one of your best midfielders and a CB cover.

As well as Fab did, it is a worry that we didn't have a recognised CB on the bench.

If Naby can get his act together and be consistent in work rate, standard of play and availability, I think our best midfield trio could well be Fab, Thiago and Naby, but as it stands, probably Fab, Hendo and Thiago with very good options from Gini, Milly, Naby, the up and coming Curtis.

With you there, JK23. I am happy with what we have at CB at the moment BUT if Klopp needs another CB then so be it.

We have so many midfielders. Fab is one of the best defensive midfielders there is, but to be fair, Hendo has got a struggle on his hands to play in the big games now, so he and fabs will push each other. Hendo is superb and can play the deeper role easily, but Fabs is better, IMHO.

I do think we need another CB, I still think Ben white would be a great addition but that looks far from happening now. I don’t see us getting one, especially since we still need the likes of Grujic, Wilson, karius etc all off the books and no outgoings look like happening soon other than Brewster. I think it’s risky relying on Gomez who has been shaky since the restart, matip who is an adequate partner for vvd but is a major sick note and fab as cover, who I personally rate really highly in midfield.

Oi! You put him at cb and you miss the 40 yard screamers.

No. It's great to know he can play well there (although seeing werner twice I think he's over rated) it eases my worries about a 4th cb as we also have a player who can play the deep role when fab ain't there.

All that said. Can't wait for gomez to get back and prove these doubters wrong. I can't think of a 23 year old cb who is better? There isn't one. So guess what that means guys. One day, he will probably be the best cb on the planet.

{Ed025's Note - yeah robbie he is "world class" and a "legend" no doubt...sigh..

A few weeks ago our midfield was very good lol, then Klopp went and signed Thiago. now the whole world is talking about him. Imagine the scenes if we actually sign a center back lol.
