Fabio Borini: Liverpool will get back to winning ways after international break

Fabio Borini has insisted that Liverpool are ready to end a poor run of form because they are "tired of losing."

The Reds went into the international break on the back of three straight defeats to Newcastle, Real Madrid and Chelsea.

Brendan Rodgers' side are currently 11th in the Premier League and third in their Champions League group, having won just one of their last six matches in all competitions.

They return to action with a league match at Crystal Palace on Nov. 23 -- the first of three key matches in seven days for Rodgers, and travel to Bulgarian title holders Ludogorets Razgrad the following Wednesday needing a win to reduce their chances of Champions League elimination. Stoke City then visit Anfield in the Premier League on Nov. 29.

Borini, among the Liverpool players to remain on Merseyside for training after not being selected for international duty, believes a turnaround in form is imminent.

He told the club's official website: "We can work hard on what we need to do to improve and take that into the game against Crystal Palace and then Ludogorets.

"We played better [against Chelsea] than we had in the previous league games. But to lose 2-1 is obviously a disappointment. We can't be happy about a loss in the league, especially against one of the contenders for the league and one of our rivals.

"There are positives -- the way we played and the way we started the game, which was a lot better than what we did in the games before that.

"But we lost three games in one week, and when you lose three times you become tired of losing. Now it's actually [going to be] easier to get up and fight because you want to win and you want to show that the winning mentality is our mentality."

Borini has yet to score for Liverpool this season, having made three starts and four substitute appearances since turning down moves to Sunderland and Queens Park Rangers in the summer.

But the striker, who played the full 90 minutes in the much-changed side put out by Rodgers for the 1-0 Champions League defeat at the Bernabeu on Nov. 4, feels he is in good form.

He said: "I think that when I was called upon to play, I did well against Real Madrid or against Chelsea, when we were down and we needed to chase the game.

"Against Newcastle, we were at 0-0 and we needed to change the game. So it's not an easy way to get in, but it's good to be involved and I hope I get more [chances]."
