Liverpool striker Robbie Keane says he is too experienced to start worrying about his Anfield goal drought.
The Republic of Ireland forward insists his slow start is nothing to be concerned about, and he said he is looking forward to developing a lethal partnership with Spanish ace Fernando Torres.
Keane is yet to find the back of the net since his £20m summer move from Spurs, but he is confident he can rediscover his scoring touch soon.
Keane scored 80 goals in 197 appearances for Spurs, including 23 in all competitions last year, and he said he wants to get his goal tally up and running when he plays in the next few matches.
He said: "If I was younger and a bit more naive, maybe I would start to worry about it. But when you're 28 and you've got experience with many clubs, you're not worried one bit as long as the team is winning.
"That is the main thing. It took me five games to score my first goal for Tottenham. The more people talk about it, the more it becomes a big issue.
"But I'm not worried about it and if I'm not worried, you shouldn't worry."
Keane added: "When you've been there and done that, you settle in a lot quicker than you would if you were younger.
"The new players and new environment take a little bit of getting used to.
"The spark with Fernando is only going to come with games. We have to understand each other and what the team do."
