Milan Jovanovic believes Liverpool fans are yet to see the best of him - but the Serbia forward has vowed to do all he can to hit top form.
The 29-year-old produced perhaps his best performance in a Red jersey during Sunday's goalless draw at Birmingham City with an enterprising left-wing display.
Jovanovic feels he is making steady progress as he continues to find his feet in the Barclays Premier League following his arrival from Standard Liege in the summer, though he is adamant he still has much more to offer Roy Hodgson's contingent.
"I am much more positive," he said. "I am always honest. If I am bad, I will admit it and I will not be happy but I am at Liverpool and that means I will always, always give my best for this team.
"I was happy with how I played against Birmingham but I know I can do better. I haven't made an assist or scored a goal but I am trying to turn it around.
"I am disciplined and trying to build an understanding with the other players. I am not in the best form but I feel I am getting better and this is very important.
"I can play better than I have shown so far. I know I can score goals and make assists for this team. I'm sure I can. When it does, I will be the happiest, luckiest man in the world."
Sunday's stalemate in the Midlands left Liverpool in 13th position after collecting five points from their opening four league matches in 2010-11.
However, Jovanovic believes there were positives to be taken from the Birmingham draw and he is convinced he has seen enough to suggest the Reds will soon start to ascend the table.
"It was a difficult game but I think we did well," he reflected. "We controlled things well in some parts but need to improve in other areas. But we need to play with this kind of intensity.
"If we keep the ball and control the match, it will be much easier for us to make chances and we will become more dangerous in attack. Even still, I think it was better than the last two games.
"We played hard, we had discipline and we really tried to be dangerous in attack. It is going to take time because there are a lot of new players.
"But if we can keep getting the ball to Stevie, Liverpool will be much better. I have no doubts that we will climb the table. The Premier League is tough but we are Liverpool. That is what matters.
"We have got to try and win every game and hopefully we can start on Thursday night. It will be difficult but we will be doing our best as always."
