I get klopp logic behind that midfield but it's too samey, Henderson doesn't offer us anything going forward, goes backwards and sideways far too often for me.

I know fabinho made a couple mistakes but Henderson has done it aswell when played.

The one thing this midfield will do is run all night which vs City is good as we will need to chase them down

I agree Henderson offers less going forward than Fabinho but they're holding midfielders, the priority is what they offer defensively and that's even more important in a game like today. We're going into what's likely to be a high tempo game where both sides will be pressing the other - Henderson is far less likely to get caught out in this sort of situation than Fabinho. If you can guarantee that Fabinho won't get caught in possession or play a sideways pass that leads to a clear attack on our goal then I'd without doubt pick him for what he offers else where but you can't guarantee that. That's not to say Fabinho 100% would do those things but this is the decision Klopp's got to make and I'm not surprised at all that he's chose the safer option in Henderson.
