Georginio Wijnaldum does not lack confidence and the former Newcastle man has backed himself to score at least 10 goals for new club Liverpool this season.
The 25-year-old Dutchman moved to Anfield last week in a £25m deal and he expects to be a success on Merseyside.
In his only season at St James Park, Wijnaldum netted 11 times for the Magpies in the Premier League - all at home, including four against Norwich.
The attacking midfielder said: "The manager wants more goals but I also put pressure on myself to score, I do that everywhere.
"I did it at Feyenoord, I did it at PSV and I did it at Newcastle. I'm greedy to score and will do the same this season.
"It's because I have the quality to get goals. I've the quality to create too and because I create a lot, I score goals.
"I think a player with my quality has to at least get a minimum of 10 a season. That's what I have always said.
"Sometimes you reach more, sometimes less, like last season I got 11. But because I create so many chances I have to score at least ten."
And he says Reds' boss Jurgen Klopp also has great belief in his new signing.
Wijnaldum added: "He (Klopp) told me I am a player he needs in his team and that I have the quality he likes, that I can help him and the team.

"That gave me a good feeling and confidence. There are a lot of big players in the world, this is a big club and he said that to me.
"I think that I can be successful here. If you play for a club as big as Liverpool, you always have to be trying to win trophies.
"You're never going to be happy with eighth or ninth here. You have to go for titles because of the history being so big.
"That's the dream for me, to help Liverpool create more history and I will do everything I can for that."
