We didn't have a best 3, we had a best 2, Hendo and Gini with Hendo at No6, that run of games in Fabs absence was Klopp's system played to a miles higher level than we had ever played it before or have ever played it since and it didn't matter who we played at RCM in that 15 game run, Keita, Lallana, Ox, Millie, every single one them played the system to that same higher level, the most fundamental parts of that were the vastly superior level of our pressing and counter pressing and vastly superior distribution, awareness, leadership and vison from No6 from Hendo
It meant that with our high line, because they made the press and counter press virtually impenetrable, we could pin sides in like never before offering them virtually no outball whatsoever apart from attempted hopeful long hoofs over the top
P15 W15 Clean sheets 10 (TEN) and that would have been 11 clean sheets if that twat Atkinson hadn't let Donkey Dunk put his free kick into and unguarded net when Adrian was still lining up his wall after Alisson had been sent off v Brighton
Prior to that, with Fab at No6 our record was
P20 W17 D2 L1 Clean sheets 2 (TWO
only 2 clean sheets in 20 games and we went back to letting goals in and losing and drawing games when we reverted back to that
Edit: AFTER Fab's return
P15 W8 D2 L5 clean sheets 4 FOUR
So, with Justme's alleged best midfield
P35 W25 D4 L6 Clean sheets SIX Not even title winning form
With mine
P15 W15 Clean sheets 10 TEN
Includes Premier League, Champions League and the 2 CWC games
