Time to make a change to our fortunes Fabio - just keep banging them in & you'll be an Anfield hero. The loyal fans of LFC have suffered much, but we will succeed. YNWA
"Lucas is such a great example of a supportive team mate when times are tough. A future captain in the making. Also good luck to Borini and an injury free rest of the season ."
"Borini will get more time and patience from the fans this time around as now Suarez is in great form and also Sturridge is there to share the goalscoring burden and not too much expectations on Borini which were laid on him during summer when Liverpool didn't have enough options upfront."
"And theres me thinking it started back in August. Well you give us an option in that final third so I will see how you do for the remainder of the season. I'm not a fan of yours but will start liking you a little if you can score at least 5 league goals this year."
"To be fait to FB, his movement and touch is very good. Im hopeful he'll be decent. Just vastly overpaid for him- thats not his fault though. Could apply that to most of the team!"
"Come on give the man a chance, BR had faith in him so the least we can do is give him some support. I hate the way some LFC fans have turned into Mancs just waiting for something to not work out so they can have a go. Be real and YNWA"
"Cut the lad a bit of slack, his ati-tude is perfect, he means what he says, he's using Lucas as a role model to overcone adversity, can't do better than that! YNWA Fabio, fill the onion bag lad!"
"Welcome back mate,,stay cool,you do have fans here,no need for everyone to try keep proving themselfes,that can make them less of a team player,,sit back be a team player,and hopefully the magic will come out of that for whomever shines on the day "
"I didn't know much about you, but I'm right behind you, hope it works for you mate, find the net and find your place on the team, prove the doubters wrong, YNWA Fabio."
"I think signing Sturridge will help Fabio.
There is less pressure on him now and he can settle, get fit and find some form.
I think his work rate is good and with experience and time, he will be decent for us. Not sure he will be a world beater, but a good player to have."
"I hope and wish to Fabio to have worked well and hard with the physios. I'll keep supporting him as I repute him a brilliant prospect and I have faith in him, but I hope all the good work done in rehab will be converted in good performance an foremost plenty of goals! Best of luck to him for his upcoming duties! YNWA Fabio Borini"
"Sturridge and Suarez need to pass him the ball if he is to make a difference. I feel he is the best finisher of the three...he makes really clever runs but the others just take him as a decoy...even at Old Trf he was at the right spot but sturridge hit the side netting instead of passing it to him..
don't blame this lad so much for our problems"
""rushjob" give him a chance. Glad we gave Lucas a chance. However I doubt very much Joe Allen can do anything good in midfield until he gets beefed up - too short, too small, too feeble, not strong enough..."
"Go borini you have all the great attributes to be a fantastic player fast clinical finisher desent header and a team player go borini I know you can do it! YNWA"
"Always a red- I never commented on JA Attributes,or lack of them,as some might say,just that height is neither here nor there.As you did state he is "too short,too small"."
""GT-LFC - you wanna take this outside?" I joke mate! Understood - I simply do not rate him and so what I mean is "JA is simply tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo RUBBISH"!"
"Ronny87 - I think you've hit the nail on the head there. He needs time and as little pressure from us whinging swine as possible. It's about time we remembered how Lucas got on, and how both Stewie and Jordan appear to be getting there and give him some faith! YNWA!"
"In one of Stewie's games, I noticed a new steel in his eye when he put a goal in, like it was a 'f u' to the doubters. Some players reach a breaking point where there is so much pressure and we shouldn't judge them. Imagine the pressure and expectation!"
"Just for those who want to talk about him earning his wage, that just adds to the pressure! For god's sake go back to supporting or at least constructive criticism. Older supporters also letting the side down right now. Great club supporters eh?"
"I 100% believe in Brendan, and age has taught me patience if anything, on a large scale. Borini and every one of the lads will come good, he's a fighter like Dirk, regardless of his style of play and I believe in him."
"And apologies for the rant, I have good intentions at heart. Let's truly go back to the days of Shankly and start giving our players some self-belief. He more than anyone tore his players to bits in training but he told everyone they were the best."
"We all want you to do well, but it is in everybody's best interest if you get fit before you start pressing yourself though... Get well and stay fit Fabio.. YNWA."
"SCOUSEMORALS, NOTHING WRONG WITH YOUR "RANT", YOU ARE 100% SPOT ON. IN MY OPINION, OUR FANS SHOULD BE GRATEFUL FOR SEEING FAR MORE SUCCESS THAN THE MAJORITY OF FANS. BUT SADLY, THEIR PATIENCE IS NON EXISTENT. "
"Well, I am grateful for the appreciation, but back to Borini. He prides himself on never giving up - I mean, come on! Who makes a celebration like that who isn't going to earn his way? Treat these players like your family not like the next stage to get our premiership fix! Grow up, results don't happen overnight!"
"It's simple brainwork, people. We were supposed to be the intelligent fans but we're always seeing the smaller picture. These players are young. They will grow, together. A bond over years is as important as the talent on the pitch, any successful manager will tell you that."
"Personally, I think FSG and Brendan have gone the right way about things, and considering new styles of play and different players, we're flying. I would have expected less, being realistic. It will take years but a unit grows experience, it does not buy it."
"And with some magic, I dearly hope our future squad can get Jamie and Stevie just one championship for them before quitting - it would make my life, they will always be true heroes of Liverpool Football Club and they deserve it."
"FB looks like player with plenty of class. He was injured playing against United in the first game, continued on playing and got a 2nd injury in training for Italy u21 a few weeks later. "
"He had one half chance against united last Sunday and made a decent effort out of it, of course had it flown in to the top right instead of wide, we would all be singing his praises. Suarez also took a ball off his foot when stretching for a header, FB was better placed, so they need to work on communication. I for one am expecting this lad to do well for us."
"Give him all of the oldham game to show what he can do (along with Europa league games) He can make the grade if he battles hard and scores goals, so shame on those saying he shouldn't be given a chance."
"and what is all this nonsense about lucas, zero assists, a goal once in a blue moon and at best a midtable team holding midfielder see the stats they dont lie"
"Welcome back Fabio. When you were signed the Mamanger said you are a player that will excite fans. My advice is keep quite, work on your form and bring goals that are commensurate with your price tag and expctation fo fans. "
"BIG LOL "I think this kid should just keep his mouth close for now until the goals begin to come. have a season free injury."
Thankfully most LFC fans are brighter???
"injury free season"! Perhaps you should go and support Man Ure"
"welcome back fabio, we all know fabio has not delivered as a striker yet but he is working hard. there are a lot of good pro's in our squad. its important now to get a win or two against top opposition and then we will see confidence rise."
"We tend to forget he is just 21 and settling in a new country. He needs the same encouragement as our younger players not challenge to prove every time he plays. All the best Fabio. YNWA. "
"WE ARE ALL BEHIND YOU, and for the ones that aren't, he's had 8 games he's from italy so he needs to adjusT. He's only only like 19 so... If your going to be un loyal and not be behind him with all these facts then please go and suppose man city or chelsea, your giving the best fans in the world bad name. YNWA!"
"FABIO WHO? THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DON'T KEEP PHYSICALLY FIT, AVOID INJURIES, AND STAY FOCUSED ON WINNING! FABIO, IF U WANNA MAKE A DIFFERENCE, SCORE GOALS, WIN MATCHES, DON'T CONCEDE ANY GOALS AND GO FORTH AND WIN!THIS IS THE ONLY WAY KOP SUPPORTERS CAN REMEMBER YOU!"
"Borini, show your Italian great in football to us, and you will take over Downing's spot easily.
Downing has nothing to prove anymore. He's on his way out. "
"Waste on money hes a bad (signing) . Let him go now and go and get Sneijder as we need more goals from the midfield . And also go and get another striker either Walcott or Dzeko . Maybe if we have the funds buy all 3 of these players then we will be right up there in the top 4 ,like we should be ! YNWA."
"All that was missing from last season was a proven goalscorer.The proof of that was clear to all having seen us hit the woodwork 40 times!
Borini was unproven and BR took a risk buying potential.So far that's half a season wasted.
We'll wait and see if Fabio is anything more than "potential"."
"I really have no idea how people are being negotive and saying im not convinced, he needs to adjust, its hard... he's also only 19 years off age. It's actually pathetic that some people claim they support liverpool yet groan at a 19 year old not turning world class in 8 games who hasn't adjusted yet."
"i'm gona be truthful n say this he should have felt this way when he 1st joined us not now. but it was always gona be tough for a foreign youngster to come in n make an immediate impact. so i hope you start banging in as many goals as you can n always b proud to wear the liverpool shirt fabio."
"His carrer started when his contract did, which is why he gets paid during then. All this, oh the season only starts now, my carrer only starts halfway through the season, if that's the case return the money you have been paid from the start of the season until now, if it only starts now"
"to be fair, he hasnt had a chance to play in a settled team and i dont think anyone apart from sterling and suarez impressed at the beginning of the season. im sure he will be a success in an interchanging front 3 with suarez and sturridge."
"RopMange give Fabio a chance for goodness sakes. He's had bad luck with a bad injury but when he does play he works his socks off for the team. He's still only 21 give the kid a fair chance. He's desperate to do well for us. I like his atude. He works hard on the pitch and is a team player. "
