Joe Cole is adamant it is far too early to be casting any judgement on Liverpool's start to the 2010-11 Barclays Premier League season.
Following Sunday's 3-2 reversal at Manchester United, the Reds are currently in 16th position in the table with five points from their opening quintet of matches.
However, himself a new arrival at Anfield, Cole believes Liverpool will require time to fully acclimatize to the summer changes made at the club - and the 28-year-old is in no doubt he saw enough in the Reds' spirited second-half performance at Old Trafford to suggest they'll soon be on firing on all cylinders.
"Judge us in May," Cole said. "We have had a tough start to the season with the fixture list and with Fernando not being match fit, and also the change of personnel with the change of manager.
"We will pick up, I am convinced. If we keep passing the ball the way we did (against Manchester United) we will be fine."
He added: "We have got to try and take the positives. We passed the ball well, scored two goals and we were beaten by a great team and a player on top of his game.
"But we will be alright, we just need to keep going."
