Fabinhos drop off was crazy. He went from a top 5 (arguably top 3) defensive midfielder in the world during the 21/22 season to playing like a 40 year old at a charity match in the span of a few months Its not like he suffered a serious injury during his time at Liverpool, he was one of our most reliable players. His legs just completely gave up. He's still only 30 years old which is the really crazy thing about his decline. It was so sudden and he was still in his 20's At least other insane downfalls that happened very suddenly like Hazard, Torres and Dele Alli had injuries/off field personal issues that explained their rapid decline in form. Fabinho went from making the UCL team of the tournament to being a key reason why Liverpool finished 5th the following season a few months later

[@DerThinker]

Its because he was our only proper CDM. Considering how intense Klopp's teams are and how he always uses the same lads, Fabinho was bound to burnout

[@滋榎本]

Michael Owen was the second-youngest player ever to win the Ballon d'Or, younger than even Lionel Messi when he first won it. In 1998 there wasn’t a more exciting teenager in world football than Michael Owen. The raw, unmatched pace and confidence in front of goal, made him unplayable in the late 90s, and with the Golden Ball in his 21-year-old hands, it seemed as if he had only just begun. However, injuries took a toll on him and in the final 6 years of his career, Owen's skills gradually declined.

What's funny about Casemiro is that it wasn't even things you associate with age in that Liverpool game. He got robbed on one goal and give it away on the other.
