'Resilience'. That's the one-word message Darwin Nunez felt the need to post on social media to defend his performances after the first 52 minutes he spent on the pitch as a Liverpool player.
The 23-year-old completed his potential club-record move to Anfield last month for an initial fee of £64m, which could hit £85m if all add-ons are met. If they are, it would mean he has been a huge success for the Reds, and it would mean he had become the most expensive signing in the club's history.
But it also means the pressure - from outside of Anfield at least - was always likely to be on. And after those cameo appearances against Manchester United and Crystal Palace last week on the club's Far East tour, that appears to be the case.
