Very good debut. Pretty solid defensively, good passing with both feet, constantly available on the overlap and he likes to whip a mean cross in, what's not to like?

Tattoos look a bit ropey.

Very impressive game for Tsimikas. Looks like a solid backup option for Robertson.

There was a point in the game where he did an inch perfect cross field ball to Neco Williams (I think) and it reminded me very much of how Robbo and Trent ping the ball across to each other. Would fit right in at LB whenever needed imo.

Looks stoned. Good player though.

Ha ha I thought he looked like he hadn’t slept for a week. Played well though, looked comfortable on his right foot apart from his shot in the second half. Put a lovely dead ball in with his good foot and linked up well. Lots to like

How did he play last night?

Pretty well, Lincoln didn’t get much change from him defensively - though he was caught a bit high up the field for one counter attack where the impressive Edun got in behind him - as does happen with our system but he looked quick, put some good crosses in and linked up very nicely with some neat triangles of passing with Shaqiri and Grujic.

Good stuff.

I know the pass you mean, I thought exactly the same, you could have thought it was Robbo out there doing it. He seemed very comfortable on the ball.

On his right foot aswell if I remember correctly. Really impressed by him.

I think once he is bedded in he will rotate with Robbo more than we think. This season the games will. Come thick and fast and players will need protecting.

Can't see Kostas in the new training pics and video and his latest Instagram pic was in Liverpool so I assume he didn't go on international duty, hopefully he's not injured.

He was injured for the Arsenal game so I assume he is still.

Ah OK, that seems so long ago I'd completely forgotten!

Did Klopp mention Tsimikas yesterday in the presser? Is he available for selection?

No and no he's not.

newterp · « **Reply #344 on:** October 31, 2020, 11:39:48 am »

wow. he's missed the first 2 months of the season now (minus 1 game) - going to be a steep curve for him to get up to speed with the team.

Ghost Town · « **Reply #345 on:** November 1, 2020, 12:41:27 am »

He's missed the Alpha but he'll be there at the Omega

Luckily Robbo is apparently invincible and a unending font of energy, but sure would be nice to have this lad in contention.

kaesarsosei · « **Reply #347 on:** November 1, 2020, 09:57:57 am »

Does anyone know what is wrong with him and when he is due to be back?

This for me is why Robbo is with no question the best LB in the world. There are a few other players who on their day can be just as good but no one plays as many games or is as consistent. IMO he is our player of the season thus far.

Looks, like hes back in training.

Could probably do with him getting minutes for Greece

would be ideal - although I can see Matip as a more important defensive option and looking after our midfielders and attacking front 3. If he can somehow get some of our squad players through the 90 then I think it would be great to give Robbo, Gomez or Trent a rest if we have match sorted, However I can see this one as a very closely fought match with one of the most attacking minded team in Europe after ourselves

If we can navigate these Atalanta games with wins then we're through then and could rest everyone for the last rounds.

Don't want to be in a position where we have to win the last game yet again.

Didn’t know Robbie was part of the coaching setup? I wonder what his plan is?

Will he feature tonight? Robbo certainly need some rest.

Gods_Left_Boot · « **Reply #355 on:** November 3, 2020, 10:06:59 am »

Would be nice to see him start tonight or at least split time a half each with Robbo, taking advantage of the 5 subs rule.

disgraced cake · « **Reply #356 on:** November 3, 2020, 10:53:45 am »

I would expect him to feature in maybe two of the last 4 Champions League group games. Think he'd have probably started against Midtjylland if fit, which would have been an alright first challenge for him, given they didn't attack all night.

Why does he remind me of Robin Gibb? Is it the glasses?

Thought Roberston was actually quite tested in that game against the guy who was at Brighton once. Had to be on his game all match

an fear dearg · « **Reply #359 on:** November 3, 2020, 01:21:38 pm »

Would it be absolutely mental to play him at LB and Robbo at LCB? I know it’s a bit left field but it might just work in the short term...
