Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp issued a short and sweet review of Darwin Nunez's decent display against Arsenal on Sunday evening.
The Uruguayan international has found adjusting to life in the Premier League particularly difficult after his mega-money move from Benfica this summer. The 23-year-old notched a debut goal against Fulham on the opening day of the season but was then sent off the very next match against Crystal Palace at Anfield.
Given he had to serve a suspension and the fact Klopp has been cautious about the number of minutes he hands to the striker, Nunez has had a slow start to his Liverpool career. However, he ended his drought in front of goal at the Emirates during the Reds' 3-2 defeat by the Gunners.
He prodded home from close range to make it 1-1 mid-way through the first half after Gabriel Martinelli's opener inside 58 seconds. Though Nunez couldn't prevent his side from succumbing to a second defeat this season, the striker enjoyed one of his better days in a Liverpool shirt so far.
His rapid pace and intelligent runs gave the in-form central defensive pairing of William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes plenty of headaches and though he stayed on for the full 90 minutes, Nunez failed to add any more to his tally.
Pressed for comment on what he thought of the £85million-man's performance, Klopp replied: "Good. It was good, it was good. Sharp, good, involved in nearly everything, scored a great goal.
He was less pleased with his side as a collective, explaining: "Do I have deeper concerns? Yes, of course, I am not happy. How can I be?

"We made decisive mistakes for all three goals, when you knock down with your backside what you built with your hands, that is really not helpful and that is what we did today."
Klopp's sentiments were echoed by Reds stalwart Virgil van Dijk, who conceded a lack of confidence is quickly becoming a major issue within the Liverpool dressing room.
"Confidence is definitely a thing that plays a part but you know, we are all human beings and sometimes you need a bit of confidence in certain moments and it could also if your confidence is not as high not help you in situations," the Dutchman added.
"Like what I said before, every human being in any job needs a little bit of confidence in order to perform at the highest level.
"If you are not winning at the highest level like we are used to, then confidence is creeping away but we know it can turn around just like that, we have to work hard."
Klopp went on to rule his side out of the title race already, with Liverpool's latest defeat leaving them a remarkable 14 points behind league-leaders Arsenal.
