Liverpool midfielder Fabinho: I should've played sooner

Liverpool midfielder Fabinho feels he should have played more at the start of the season.

Following a summer move from Monaco, the Brazilian started just five Premier League games in the first half of the season.

He has now become a regular for Jurgen Klopp's side and says that he is enjoying life on Merseyside.

"I am happy. I still have things to improve but I am happy overall with my performances, I am up to the speed of the Premier League and that was what I was looking for," said Fabinho.

"I had the patience to wait for my opportunities. I think if it was up to me I would have been playing from the beginning.

"Maybe Jurgen could see something I couldn't see, so not just conversations with him but all the staff helped me."
