Kante's a short ass though, Fabinho can play centre back, and has inspector gadget legs for those what seem impossible interceptions.

Fab wins for me.

Kante doesn't need long lanky legs though, he reads the game so well and covers a pitch like nobody else, fabs good but Kantes better

Ah here, insult people all ya want, but can we hold back on normalizing right wing catchphrases?

In general, is it just me or has there been a little bit of a tonal shift that direction in here over the last wee while? A little more general anger, a little less general empathy and thought.

This thread is mental.

Anything could be the topic when you log in, sometimes even football.

gimli2112 · 04-09-2019 08:17PM

It's usually Liverpool related. Champions Leagues, ex-players, current players, how much we hate each other, how much we hate everyone else, how much we love pandas......

Agent Coulson · 04-09-2019 08:27PM

This lad is trying to get Kante to join Fab in midfield.

Yup. I’d agree. But then I’d punch you :mad:

Fabinho & Kante are not the same type of midfielder, so shouldn't really be compared IMO.

Fabinho is a sitting midfielder who likes to tackle, sometimes after the opposition player is gone passed him. Likes to go to ground too. He often sits deeper than other midfielders as a starting position also.

Kante plays more higher up the field and likes to press and win the ball through interceptions mainly. Uses his energy to get around the field and knick the ball that way. He is more comparable to Hendo or Gini in the current Liverpool set up than Fabinho. Kante is not a sitting midfielder.

Kante has always played ahead of another midfielder such as Drinkwater, Matic and now Jorginho. Fabinho has always been that sitting player with someone ahead of him.

RollieFingers · 04-09-2019 09:07PM

Fabinho is better than Kante all day long.

daheff · 04-09-2019 09:38PM

Fabulous all day long for me. Don't get me wrong, Kante is an excellent player. but for the way we play, Fab is the man....and as a direct comparison still Fab... more complete player

Empathy is the one thing that's never made an appearance in this thread unfortunately

Correct me if I'm wrong but bar the one game fab played there against Munich neither are central defenders, why ask that question were they not being judged as midfielders, BTW who's a better keeper, salah or mane

If we still had Can instead of Keita I couldn't say I'd be disappointed. Can played his part for us, bossed games at times and we knew what we had in him. People giving him stick when he left the club as amicably as anyone can in this day and age is bizarre.

Not gonna lie I totally forgot about Keita.

To say he's been underwhelming thus far would definitely be under selling it.

Unlucky with injuries etc etc but just practically zero contribution, great thing is he has not been missed.

Agent Coulson · 04-09-2019 10:27PM

Have feeling when Bobby scores his next goal is celebration will be linked to Mane losing it.

Then watch Mane copy him.

Has looked very good at times in fairness, very good at breaking through a line, drawing players, and freeing up the attackers. Just not been on the pitch enough yet. Hopefully he can find some consistent fitness before long.

I can only assume you are all on a wind up. Kante is the best around. He was pretty much unplayable in Istanbul last month.

Not many players elsewhere in the league walk into Liverpool's team right now but he's one of the first I'd pick. Superb player.

This is it · 04-09-2019 11:25PM

Kante wasn't great last season, for his standards at least, but that's blamed on Conte moving him forward to allow Jorginho play that DM role. 16/17, 17/18 he was fantastic.

To be honest, I'm not sure which I'd have in a squad over all, but purely to play the DM role I think it'd be Kante.

Those two genuinely need to do a podcast together. Just talking about mundane, everyday things. I thought the biscuit dipping video was good, but that Q&A was spectacularly normal.

I wouldn't agree, but I understand that you feel that way.

The WC club championships have really expanded. In my day you only had to fly 1/2 way around the world, lose 0-1 to some team from Brazil and then fly back.
Surely at some point someone will realise this thing is just nonsense. Who's interested in it? Does this count as one of our trophies?

The European Cup was viewed similarly in it's early days. Just as well the Liverpool teams of the 70s took it seriously or we wouldn't have six baby.

Eh this has been going for at least 20 years.
