Cody Gakpo says he's desperate to improve for Liverpool.
The forward has yet to contribute either a goal or an assist in six starts, the slowest impact made by a big-money Reds forward signing during the Klopp era.
"It's always different when you come into a team that was maybe first and winning every game, but it's now in a little bit of a difficult situation," said Gakpo to Walk On emagazine.
"So for me it is to come in and show what I can. If we were in first I have to do that and now we are in another place I have to do that also. I just try to show my best side.
"The coach gave me a really warm welcome and I really appreciated it. We had a good conversation and now he is helping me to adapt as fast as possible in the team and to his style of playing. To do that I need to keep working hard and improving."
Gakpo, who will be aiming to keep his place for the Merseyside derby against Everton at Anfield on Monday, has been employed both down the centre of the attack and, as at Wolverhampton Wanderers last weekend, on the left flank during the formative stages of his Reds career.
"I am somebody with a direct style of playing, a hard worker and a winner," he said. "I'm an attacking player who can dribble, score and make assists. It's a good asset to have that I can play in multiple positions, but in the end I think every player has one position that he likes the most and maybe that is where the player is at his best.
"At the moment for me, I like to play on the left wing because I played there for four years so that is what I am used to, but maybe I will develop better in another position and then play there.
"I played in the middle in the FA Cup at Wolves and against Chelsea. I like it. It's more in the centre of the goal. I'm not that used to it so I have to develop in that position. I don't know if I will end up there, but (former Holland national team manager) Louis van Gaal told me I will end up in the middle so maybe I will."
