Jurgen Klopp hails ‘brilliant’ Fabinho but claims there was ‘no doubt’ Liverpool midfielder would thrive in defence against Brighton
Jurgen Klopp was full of praise for Fabinho after Liverpool’s 1-0 win over Brighton but insisted “there was no doubt” the Brazilian would do the business despite playing out of position.Mohamed Salah’s 50th-minute penalty was all that separated the two sides as Liverpool ground out a result and put an end to their run of two straight defeats.4

Midfielder Fabinho partnered Virgil van Dijk in defence as centre-backs Dejan Lovren, Joe Gomez and Joel Matip were all unavailable due to injury.And although Fabinho struggled at points in defence during their FA Cup defeat to Wolves but there were no problems this time as Liverpool managed to restrict their opponents to half-chances.Fabinho earned huge praise from Liverpool fans on Twitter for his display and Klopp was very happy with the No.3’s performance.Klopp said:Yeah he [Fabinho] was brilliant but there was no doubt.4

Fabinho overcame every test put his way

They tried to bring Glenn Murray in his area a little bit with some long balls but Fabinho is good in the air, so there are no problems and with all the other things hes brilliant.It was not a centre-half game where the other team is rolling over you more or less so it was a different game.“Maybe in a game like this you should put a midfielder in the second centre-half position if we have the ball that much!”Victory puts the Reds seven points clear at the top with Manchester City to play Wolves on Monday – a game you can listen to live on talkSPORT – and Tottenham to face Manchester United on Sunday. But Klopp insisted he and his players are only concentrating on their own progress and are not fixated on their lead in the Premier League table.Speaking to talkSPORT’s Alex Crook, the German added:Its massive winning at Brighton. You cannot take it for granted due to the situation they are in as they hadn’t lost the last four games.They [Manchester City] are too strong. They play Wolves who weve played twice already this season and theyre very difficult to play.We dont count the difference between us [and City]. We have 57 points thats important.4

Klopp swerved talk of having an edge over title rivals Manchester City

We are really only concentrating on our way.We need to get results pretty much every day and we know if we have a bit more space and the style of the game is a bit better then and can score early then well be a bit better.In the past when the game wasnt flowing or clicking then weve struggled but now we stay in charge of the game.I dont think anyone from Brightons side thinks we should have a point because there was only one team who deserved the three points and that was us.4

Liverpool march on to their 18th league win of the season

We have to be prepared for every situation in the game and the boys were brilliant.We earned the points hard and I like this.”

You know, I think Barca will be fine. 29 April 2013. By Nicol Hay. Football fans have a curious love for certainties - knowing that this player was definitely better than that one, that one club is clearly bigger than the other - that seems to be a product of the untidy nature of the game itself.
