he has improved a lot this season. past seasons i felt he was too ordinary but he added urgency in his passing game and is able to position his body correctly to receive balls from the defence and turn quickly now. In past seasons he would have to take 2-3 touches just to freaking turn.
I think he has been especially impressive in some of the recent games but he is still down the pecking order in terms of importance to the team IMO.
All our midfielders are including Fabinho as we saw since his injury. Our midfielders need to be hard workers which can be learned from training.
