Fabinho at ease with slow Liverpool start

Jurgen Klopp's side made waves when they signed the midfielder from Monaco before the World Cup, but fans have seen little of him since then. 

He made appearances in pre-season, but has failed to make the matchday squad for the last two outings. However, the midfielder is okay with being eased into the team. 

"I'm aware it's a different playing style than Monaco," he told the 'Liverpool Echo'. 

"There were two in midfield there whereas here at Liverpool there's usually three.

"My midfield partners have provided me with guidance and assistance. So have the defence.

"I knew it would change and I feel I've adapted well. You seek guidance from the other players around you and that's worked really well and I feel my performances in pre-season were good.

"Monaco had a transition similar to Liverpool. I think the two teams can be compared in this way, both of them have very fast transition, with every fast players up front.

"I hope to be as important here as I was at Monaco."
