A number of Liverpool supporters were left frustrated with Fabinho’s performance against Burnley on Wednesday, despite a vital win for Jurgen Klopp’s men.
The Reds faced a must-win game at Turf Moor on Wednesday evening, facing a Clarets side with nothing left to play for this season.
Liverpool didn’t have it all their own way, however, with the hosts giving it their all and causing problems for a makeshift defence.

Despite that, the defending Premier League champions got the job done in professional fashion, securing a crucial 3-0 victory in the end.
Roberto Firmino, Nathaniel Phillips and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain got the goals and Liverpool now just have to beat Crystal Palace on Sunday to all but certainly secure a top-four finish.
Someone who was well below his best at Turf Moor was Fabinho, with the Brazilian curiously sloppy by his high standards – he won just two of his eight duels, per Sofascore, a mere 25 per cent win rate.
