Which is what my comment referred to. He's only had a preseason with us not played at proper competitive rate/speed/style. If he'd had a league game and looked lost you might have a point. Unless of course you watched all of Monaco's games.

I took a look at him and genuinely you will see what i mean.

remember david n'gog.

seriously though, i'm not talking about being lost i am talking about mobility. As i said he looks fine when the game is in front of him and he can pass, or move aorund but ask him to get in and chase and he's going to be walked by.

He was unremarkable in preseason but it was only preseason. On the other hand Keita looked impressive in preseason and continues to do so.

Klopp has said Fabinho's not up to speed yet for the PL. It could be a fitness issue or not ready in general, who knows. I think we have to trust Klopp on this ......... not mito :p

:) just bookmark and come back to me when you see him. Now lets be clear don't come back when he's had an easy ride against a team sat deep offering nothing but a few punts up pitch.
 
It's only words [from what someone else's eyes saw] but here we go ...

"Fabinho is unusually tall for a full-back at 6ft 2in, but his physical attributes work to his advantage in the position. The long-legged Brazilian is strong and deceptively fast, which are valuable assets at both ends of the pitch.

Defensively, Fabinho is excellent. He was a key member of one of the stingiest back fours in Europe last season. Monaco had the best defensive record in Ligue 1, reached the last eight of the Champions League and conceded just 28 goals in Fabinho’s 49 appearances in all competitions.

He averaged 2.7 tackles per game in Ligue 1 games in 2014/15 – more than any of Monaco’s other defenders – and his marauding runs forward have also become a familiar sight. Fabinho likes to surge towards the byline and put crosses into dangerous areas, and despite his size he has the quick feet and turn of pace to beat opposition defenders.

Fabinho is versatile too, as he showed in the Champions League against Arsenal. The Brazilian was deployed as a defensive midfielder alongside Geoffrey Kondogbia at the Emirates Stadium and he shone as they claimed a shock 3-1 win.

If Fabinho does end up in the Premier League, there are plenty of reasons to believe he would be a success. His strength and pace would help him adapt to the dynamic style of the Premier League, and his Champions League performances indicate he would be unfazed by the big stages of the Etihad Stadium or Old Trafford."

What's important is what he does for us - time will tell.

Robbo didn’t make the squad ahead of Moreno for about 4 months last year... wouldn’t read into it. Klopp just getting him adjusted to style without throwing him in at deep end and watching him drown

look robertson was tossing every ball into box and was about learning positioning. thats fine. he showed klopp he learned.

This is about my opinion about a physical attribute.... not just positioning, not just learning the system <ok>
