Liverpool assistant manager Pep Lijnders admits they're delighted with the impact of Dominik Szoboszlai.

Lijnders praised the summer arrival ahead of their Carabao Cup tie with Bournemouth.

He said, "What's not to like about Dom? He just says it as well. It's also a Scouse mentality, to just say things. They have dreams, and who am I to stop them believing that we can achieve the impossible?

"What I like and the most important thing is, with Dom, you can say things but you have to show them, and show them not just in the game but on the training pitch, but in Kirkby on a rainy day, when it's freezing. So far it's not November, December, January, February so he doesn't know yet, but what I see now is Dom has all of this."

Lijnders continued: "You cannot get a new Fabinho, a new Roberto Firmino, they are unique, you don't get a new Henderson. You have to see what the qualities are (of new signings). Take Ryan Gravenberch, we create spaces and dynamics for his qualities to shine.

"They can play free, that they can enjoy football because a happy guy plays better than a guy who just has to do what the coach tells them. I feel this mixture we have found this season is nice and we have to prove each day to continue that, but with the values, the principles and the ideas of the past. That will never change."
