Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson is pleased with the form of midfielder Raul Meireles.
Meireles has caught the eye since his arrival from Porto.
Hodgson said: "Raul is a good footballer and was very good in setting up the second goal for Fernando Torres against Chelsea and I think we will get a lot of use out of him.
"I am quite happy players like him don't necessarily get put totally under the microscope from the day they arrive because even coming from a top team like Porto it takes time to settle.
"Every player who comes here has to go through that adaptation process."
