Liverpool's club-record signing Virgil van Dijk expects his every move to be scrutinised, but insists it does not concern him.
The Netherlands international became the world's most expensive defender a month ago after his £75m move from Southampton, but has been viewed as the answer to the Reds' problems at the back for much longer than that.
While he has already made a difference in the four matches he has played, Van Dijk is still far from his best having missed a large part of 2017 through injury - but accepts his price tag and reputation make him a target.
"I can't do anything about that," said the centre-back. "Obviously, there are so many eyes on me but I am just keeping my head down and playing.
"Everybody can say what they want but I am working hard every day and I am getting back to where I need to be with the help of everyone here. I am just doing my thing.
"I know because I made such a big step right now, for a lot of money, everything is going to analysed.
"No one is going to look at the good things that you do. Everybody is going to watch the bad things and that is how it is. But I will discuss it with the people who want to make me better, who can make me better, that is the manager and the players around me.
"If they think it is right that is good then that is the way forward."
Van Dijk's arrival has strengthened Liverpool's bid to secure a top-four spot and his availability for the Champions League, which starts again next week with a trip to Porto, is an added boost.
The 26-year-old has made 19 previous appearances in Europe's elite club competition, scoring two goals for Celtic, and he is confident they will be able to secure a place for next season.
"It is tight and every game is a final, they are games that we need to win and want to win and we should have won [in the 2-2 draw against Tottenham]. We were unlucky.
"I am full of confidence that we will definitely get there. It starts next week for us again."
