Under Jurgen Klopp, Fabinho has been one of Liverpool's most important players, but it's difficult to feel bad for a midfielder who occasionally gets run over, after Liverpool lost the Champions League final to Real Madrid the day before and Klopp's revolution was about to begin, his signing in May 2018 provided a much-needed lift.

With Virgil van Dijk signed four months prior, Alisson Becker on the verge of joining the Reds, and the £39 million acquisition of Fabinho, Liverpool were on the verge of developing into the illustrious winning machine to which everyone has grown used, It doesn't take a genius to figure out where Liverpool's difficulties this year are: in the midfield. 

More Liverpool news:

The Reds lost their chance to compete for the Premier League title and perhaps even a slot in the top four due to a lack of summer reinforcement. Liverpool lacks options in the midfield with Thiago Alcanatara prone to injuries and Jordan Henderson, who is now 32 years old. When their contracts expire in the summer,

Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will probably be moved on, but Curtis Jones has yet to establish himself as a leader on the side, Gini Wijnaldum and an enthusiastic Henderson were next to the Brazilian when he was at his monstrous best, but now that the Dutchman and captain have left the team, only Fabinho is left from that league-winning midfield.

Lone consistency in the midfield

For Liverpool, Fabinho has been the lone consistency in the midfield, but occasionally that has also been his downfall. The Brazilian is in desperate need of a break after playing 48 games the previous season and 51 the year before. But it hasn't been able to do that because Klopp doesn't have many options, the former Monaco star has been forced to play every week for the Reds, but that could soon change.
