Heard one of the Eds say Fabinho is struggling to settle I would be very surprised by this as he has quite a few fellow countrymen to seek counsel with at Anfield
also it is not like france is a million miles from England so the actual move is not such a daunting one not like coming from Brazil to Shaktar like Fred did for example
I think Fabinho might even get a start at Brighton
He might be taking time to adapt to a new team and tactics which would be fully understandable and acceptable imo.

everyone has their own struggles, what may be easy to one, could be difficult to another.

We've gotten spoilt because Mane, Salah, VVD and Keita (for example) joined and hit the ground running. But once in a while you'll get a player who needs time. Anyone remember how Firmino was nowhere when he first joined, and didn't get into the team for the first few months? I have no idea if it was Firmino who adjusted to the team or the team adjusted to him (Klopp had just joined), but things got worked out. And since then he hasn't looked back. I trust the same will happen with Fabinho.

Not sure whether it's personally or tactically that he hasn't settled, but it's still very early in his Liverpool career, and the team are playing well currently, so it's not an issue for me.

I think it's more of the playing style and Klopp's demands tactically as opposed to him settling down in Liverpool.

But I guess it's a bit of both. Not too bothered by this, I think easing him in (like we did with Ox and Robbo) is a good idea. Hopefully we'll see what he offered at Monaco soon.

His struggles are on the pitch not off it. He’s having the same problems OX had and klopp has said as much in his press conferences. He’s used to playing his role a certain way, we want him to do it our way it’s taking him time to understand where we need him to be and when.

Might not be settling in the country necessarily but settling in the team. He's being asked to play a little differently to how he has previously and it sounds like he might be struggling with it, remember it's harder to settle when you aren't playing well or playing at all for that matter.

Let's all give it some time, we know Fabinho has qualities so we'll just have to wait for the big reveal.

Just read that Fabinho has been selected by Brazil's Tite for the next two Brazil World Tour games. Not good at all. Because Tite has talked to him about playing as a right back; a position he has not played for 2 years. How can you expect a new player to settle down under these conditions? First not adapting to the new team's style of play as had been hoped for. And then the national team comes in and tells you to do something else.

I think Klopp knows that he can’t play him because if he has a bad game he will get slaughtered by the media and sadly his own supporters. If he isn’t up to speed fully I think that Klopp has decided with all players to hold them back until a) they are more ready and b) they are less in the spotlight.
I think Klopp looks at the mentality of a player and some players shrink under that kind of pressure.
He’s a player that’s been bought for 5 years so missing a few months is neither here nor there.

I think there was hint of him not being happy with game time expectations that was the problem. For what ever reason Klopp isn't playing him yet the lad seems sour about it.

Have they got dead/ dying pit ponies on the streets of Monaco? 😄.
