The cultured 22-year-old showed signs of his sublime talent in the lacklustre defeat to Bolton and believes the new-look Ress need time before they can prove their worth.

Alonso said: "The truth is that I am very happy with the way things are going for me even though I have only been there for a month. The manager's methods are very professional and measured, and I am certain they will bring their rewards.
 
"Everyone has accepted me very well and I feel great at Liverpool. The shame was the Bolton result, but all we need is a bit of time so we can all start to fit in. You have to do that bit by bit and go on assimilating tactics and getting to know each other."
