Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has admitted to being pleased with one of his backup defenders.
The Reds have needed to call on Greek star Kostas Tsimikas more often than usual this term.
With Andy Robertson out, Tsimikas has stepped in and looked assured in defense.
Klopp told reporters this week: "He needed rhythm himself. It's very important for a player who was waiting that long for a run of games. But he improved - last two games were really good.
"Brentford, you could see how big the change was after he set up the goal. Was much more stable. We all know, if stable he can produce some beautiful things - especially crosses and set-pieces. We need that. So really, really happy."
