Liverpool boss, Jurgen Klopp, has said his new signing Wataru Endo made his debut in horrible circumstances.
He said the midfielder had absolutely no idea what to do in the situation.
Endo, 30, was only unveiled as a Reds player on Friday after joining from German side, Stuttgart.
The Japanese then started from the bench at Anfield on Saturday and came on in the 63rd minute, replacing Cody Gakpo.
Liverpool was not entirely comfortable despite a 3-1 lead as Alexis Mac Allister had been shown a straight red card.
This made it a fairly chaotic final 30 minutes that Endo was thrown into.
After the match, Klopp was asked about Endo's debut and the German said, "Horrible [circumstances]. First game, coming in, I think we saw that Harvey [Elliott], who's in a really good moment, came on in this game as well and was running left and right and the heart rate was 240.
"Pretty much the same for Endo. The two days he had - no surprise! He did absolutely alright, but he came there and had absolutely no clue what to do."
