Casemiro has claimed that Jurgen Klopp sold a Liverpool player who had a similar profile to him back in the day. Over the years, Liverpool’s first-team squad has been riddled with talented players.

Now, however, Manchester United ace Casemiro has admitted that one of the Reds’ former players has a very similar profile to him.Casemiro says that the way he plays is very similar to the way Fabinho played for LiverpoolIn recent memory, Fabinho is one of the Reds’ best defensive midfielders. “They asked who has a similar profile (to mine), and I think it’s Fabinho.

But a guy you put in front of the defence, who prioritises the team’s balance, getting between the full-backs, providing balance, covering the gaps, stopping the counter-attack, I think that ideal guy today is Fabinho.”Liverpool could do with Fabinho’s defensive contributions this seasonAlthough Gravenberch is now seen as one of the Premier League’s best number sixes, there was something different about Fabinho when he was in his prime. The way that the Brazilian adjusted to life in England’s top flight was second to none, and the fact that he could be used as a right-back if needed meant that Liverpool had a few more options to choose from.One of Slot’s main problems this term has been the defensive work of his starting XI.
