Liverpool No2 Pep Lijnders says new signing Ibrahima Konate has made a positive early impact.
Lijnders wrote for liverpoolfc.com: "Ibou is doing really well. He comes from a different style, but there are some similarities and he has adapted well to what we want.
"You see him, he is really calm on the ball, he knows how to attack and when to step in when with the ball, when to play the outside pass, when to play the inside pass, when to switch the game. He has a good understanding of the game, attacking-wise.
"Defensively, he is strong and it is something we wanted because we play high – our centre-halves and full-backs need to be able to catch players when they break because when you play so offensively, when players slip through we do, of course, have Ali but we firstly want to catch them with our legs – solve the problem with legs. One thing Ibou has his legs!"
