Liverpool have recorded another clean sheet on Wednesday evening with Fabinho playing as a centre-half
The Brazil international helped the Reds hold on to a one goal lead at Ajax, repeating his highlighted 2-0 display at Stamford Bridge against Chelsea in the Premier League.
Fabinho towards the end of the first half , denied Ajax skipper Dusan Tadic a goal with a sublime goalline clearance.
It was the standout moment of a Man of the Match performance from the Brazilian, who was deputising at centre-half due to the absence of Virgil van Dijk and Joel Matip.
On Fabinho's showing at the back, Adrian commented: "Fab played a few times there last season and the more games playing together, everyone is going to get more confident, for sure.
"We've known each other for a long time and it's not just the centre-backs and the goalkeeper, it's the whole team defending and it was a very good job from everyone.
"Obviously we know we are going to miss Virgil and it's a big loss for us, but it's how to react. We have many good players who can play in this position – Fabinho did great tonight with Joe.
"We have a great squad and we have shown at different times last season, when anyone is not playing, another one comes from the bench to do the same and even better.
"We are going to miss Virg, for sure, but I thought we did good tonight from the defending side."
