Liverpool fans have taken to Twitter to react after Takumi Minamino spoke about his start to life at Anfield.

The 22-cap Japan international - who has 11 goals for his country - joined the European champions from RB Salzburg in January for £7.25m, after the Reds activated his release clause.

The 25-year-old scored against Jurgen Klopp's side at Anfield in the Champions League, which helped add to his tally of nine goals and 11 assists this term.

However, since arriving at Liverpool, Minamino has only made six appearances for the club with three of them being starts - all coming in the FA Cup, while he has made three outings off the bench in the Premier League.

Liverpool's new No.18 is yet to either score or assist for his new side, and his most recent display against Chelsea was met with criticism by the Reds supporters on Twitter - they also hammered him for his display in the 2-2 draw away at Shrewsbury.

Speaking to the club's official website, Minamino mentioned that he hasn't had much game time to show what he's about, but doesn't view that as a good excuse and admits that he has to "show results" to his teammates.

Let's see how the Liverpool fans on Twitter reacted to his comments...

To kick off the reaction, one fan said that Minamino doesn't need to explain himself at all.

In fairness, this supporter has a point - he is only six games into life at a new club, who are also European champions, so it will take some time for him to settle in and also break into the XI properly.

The Japanese star has no need to explain himself.

Another fan made the very valid point that he will come good after a pre-season - having to adapt to the Premier League mid-season is an extremely difficult task.

Elsewhere, another Liverpool supporter harshly said that they've already seen enough and that it's time to get rid.

That's obviously a foolish statement, as Minamino has only played a handful of matches and certainly hasn't shown his best form yet - he needs time to thrive.

No clues: Can you name the season these iconic Liverpool images belong to?
