    You do realize Fabinho didn't start consistently until December. We played a double pivot 4231 to accommodate him until the last 10 games when he could hold on his own in a 433. Don't make it out like we were struggling big time before his arrival. Gini and Hendo have both shown they are just as capable to cover for a six to eight week period. He is a big loss but not as much as losing any of the front 3.

    I'm not so worried about home games but am a little concerned with away where we need to dig in and win the ball. No need to panic here but he is a big loss.

    I'd play Joe at DM. He's quick, good tackler, good control. Or Joe at RB with Trent at DM. There are options. As you say, Lallana isn't one of them. And Milner and Hendo can only play together in a four man midfield (or 5), not 3. It just doesn't work.

    Away from home we have been playing a possession based game to tire the opponents in the first half then go for the kill in the second. One thing I like Klopp over Pep is his aility to adapt the team to situations. We have different ways of winning which is less predictale like City.

    We have Brighton H ,Everton H, Bournemouth A, Watford H, Leicester A and Wolves H and Sheffield H. I am focusing on the league as I believe that is what we all want. I see two difficult games and the others are "winnable". If we cannot get through these games because of Fabinho, we can forget the title then.

    As long as we use Gini as the 6, and we never resort to milderson ahead of him, then we should be ok.

    We have to win it with the squad we have so dealing with injuries is part of the season, no panic from me here.

    I think it'll be shared between Wijnaldum and Henderson.

    Interesting idea to play Gomez in there, he's good on the ball and it could work.

    I wouldn't mind if Klopp moved back to that lethal counter attack style for the 2017/18 season.

    Klopp on Fabinho: "We have to find solutions. We are not the only team with injured players and that's what we have to deal with, and we will."

    #noexcuses

    Pep on Laporte: "Maybe in December we are going to start to think about it – maybe. But we could not invest in this situation in the summer."

    Wouldn’t be surprised if we moved away from 433 to 4231, so that we can better utilise Ox and Shaq

    Sorry to be negative, but there's at least four there. Everton is a derby game, Leicester are the form team in the league, Wolves were one of the best teams to play at Anfield last season, and have already beaten City away: and Sheff united are a bloody good side. We normally do well in December, though we're often out of the LC by now and aren't playing in some pointless exhibition in another continent. December will be hard: and we're usually cack in January. Maybe we need to buy/loan people then? And NOT let people out on loan - absolutely no point letting Brewster out on loan, for instance, with the lack of depth in that squad.

    Yeah all good teams and I agree on your assessment of them but I don't think losing Fabinho kills us in these games but he has been at times something special in the middle of the park, whoever comes in for him really has to step up.

    Tell you what I have noticed about Fab’s injury which is irking me
    On Thursday BBC tried to blame Lovren (?) for falling onto Fab
    Then today they are saying he fell awkwardly

    from what I recall Lorenzo (?) was doing what Napoli we’re doing all night and exaggerating everything and he stumbled a ridiculous amount of times then ‘fell’ into Fab

    was it just me that saw that ?

    Fab is a loss but would just like to point out that he only broke into the team proper around Jan 2019. Prior to this, we were unbeaten <ok>

    As a creative option from midfield.

    Fab will be a massive miss I'm afraid. I see our lead being eroded.

    I remain unconvinced by him.
