'He needed rhythm': Klopp on Tsimikas becoming 'more stable' with games under his belt

Kostas Tsimikas has been seeing more regular game time under Jurgen Klopp since Andy Robertson's injury sidelined him.

Tsimikas' early performances didn't inspire too much confidence in Liverpool fans but has steadied of late.

"He needed rhythm himself," explained Klopp in his press conference. "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."
