So what if you would have Ferna or Rodri over him? If Fabinho played for City and Rodri for Liverpool you would reverse your opinion. Anyway, does that exclude Fabinho from being one of the better midfielders? Fernandinho is a great player playing for one of the best teams in the world. Rodri is a great player playing for one of the best teams in the world. Fabinho is a great player playing for one of the best teams in the world. If it's a arguement for us that we struggle when some of our more talented players are out, and it is, then you have to give credit to other teams when they cope when their better players are out.
Also I personally rate Ederson over Allison if that makes you sleep better at night, but jesus christ. He is a great goalkeeper who is one of the reasons they went from a complete joke to as functional as they have become. He has done some mistakes, as has Eddie, but he has been on the losing side once in the league since he came to England in 2 seasons. They are obviously a better side with him and for you to say they were better off with West Hams backup for 2 months is just laughable tbh. That is like saying we are better off without Laporte because he gave the ball away against Tottenham in the CL.
Of course 2 acl injuries on key players has impacted us. But what is the point using the no injuries excuse for Liverpool when you don't rate any of their players?
