"It was a great challenge to play against Liverpool in my first game - especially as I hadn't played for three or four months in Argentina," Yacob told the Birmingham Mail.
"But I prepared well both in terms of my mental and physical preparation in the days and weeks leading up to the game and I was very pleased the result was a positive one.
"I was fully aware of the history, prestige and reputation of Liverpool. But we also need to take into account that West Brom have a very good history.
"We shouldn't be afraid of playing teams like Liverpool. As the season goes on, we should confront the challenge of playing against teams that have a good history and remember that we also have a place in the Premier League."
The Argentine midfielder also stated how happy he is to have joined the club, and says he is finding his feet in England.
He added: "It's fantastic and I feel I have settled in really well."
