Jack Wilshere has praised Liverpool midfielder Fabinho on Sky Sports Premier League (4:10pm, November 7, 2021).

The former Arsenal midfielder has said that Fabinho makes things calmer in the middle of the park.

The Englishman has noted that Fabinho is sensible and hardly gives the ball away.

Wilshere said about Fabinho on Sky Sports Premier League (4:10pm, November 7, 2021): “He does (make everything calmer).

“In possession when he gets on the ball from the centre-backs, he is sensible, he hardly gives the ball away.”

Fabinho is so underrated

When people talk about the best midfielders at Liverpool, they often speak about Thiago and Jordan Henderson.

Henderson is the Liverpool captain and has improved a lot over the years.

Thiago is a brilliant and silky footballer who played for Barcelona and Bayern Munich.

Yes, Fabinho gets praise, but in our view, not everyone outside of the Liverpool fanbase speak highly enough of him.

We think that Fabinho, who earns £180,000 per week as salary (Spotrac), is underrated.

The 28-year-old is one of the best defensive midfielders in the Premier League.

Fabinho is one of the first names on manager Jurgen Klopp’s team sheet when he is fit and available.

And let’s not forget that last season the Brazil international played in defence for a while.

And he did exceptionally well for a defensive midfielder.

The Liverpool no. 3 has scored four goals in 93 Premier League appearances so far in his career.
