Takumi Minamino is still waiting for his grand debut for Liverpool.
The Reds officially confirmed his transfer from RB Salzburg last month and their new player will soon don the kit of the champions of Europe and current Premier League leaders. He could even feature on Sunday when Liverpool face Everton in the FA Cup.

But football journalist Dave O’Connell was wondering what might’ve been going through his head as he watched his new teammates play from the stands during the Anfield clash against Sheffield United on Thursday night, as Liverpool won 2-0 with an incredibly dominant performance.
Many responding Reds fans were quite creative in that department and have promptly come up with a variety of replies.
Some of them simply think Minamino is well aware of the fact that he has joined the greatest team in the world…
But that’s also a part of the problem – the greatest team in the world has some phenomenal players and Minamino could very well be thinking about how could he possibly get a spot in a starting XI already performing so well.
After all, Liverpool not only dispensed of a team that had previously lost just once on the road in the Premier League, but also did it with 74.8% possession, 19 shots to the visitors’ three and a Premier League record 874 passes completed.
Accordingly, some think Minamino will be hoping he can be good enough to play at Liverpool’s standard, maybe even wondering what exactly Jurgen Klopp wants from him in the first place when he already has such a dominant side at his disposal.
Of course, that’s the trickier part of the equation but there’s also the shiny side, quite literally.
Much harder than you’d think… Can you name Liverpool’s top scorers for each of these 25 seasons?
Since Liverpool are currently firing on all cylinders in the Premier League with just two points dropped so far this season – and are also through to the knockout rounds of the Champions League – it seems that many fans are hugely optimistic about the future and believe Minamino might be thinking about all the medals he could win now that he’s one of the Reds.
Elsewhere, one of Liverpool’s players has been labelled as the most underrated player in the history of the Premier League…
