Fabinho is in a stunning run of form for Liverpool, with arguably no defensive midfielder in the world better currently.
The Brazilian was colossal in Sunday’s 2-1 win over Tottenham, winning endless duels in the middle of the park and proving more influential than any other player.
When the post-match player ratings were revealed, numerous publications heaped praise on Fabinho, with some even giving nine and 10-out-of-10 assessments.
The Mirror wasn’t one of them, though, with John Cross bizarrely handing the 26-year-old just a six.
These Liverpool supporters couldn’t believe Fabinho’s rating, letting their feelings be known on Twitter.

It's John Cross. Enough said.

Player ratings should never be taken too seriously, but it is still unthinkable for Fabinho to have been given anything less than an eight.
It was one of the most impressive performances by a Liverpool midfielder in a long time.
Fabinho is fast becoming a monster of a player for the Reds – it seems a long time ago now that he was struggling early on in his Anfield career.
