Best mates arent they?
And it came as a surprise to me. I presumed looking at his body language he would be more conserved kind of fellow. Suits to have such characters in the dressing room.
Bwahaha.
Looked good today as well. Robbo has a back up now thatās going to challenge him.
I love him. I like that like Milner he is the sort that if heās going to pick up a yellow hes going to make it worth it.
His delivery into the box is consistently good, he rarely hits a bad one when he has time. I liked the fact he was aiming back post with those loopy crosses rather than hitting them at that giant viking in the middle.
I keep thinking he could do with some cucumber for his eyes.
Edited: as cucumber stick thing sounded like something else.
Robertson has missed half of the games this season. The real shocker is, he was barely missed. Tsimikas isnāt Robertson, but he is still so, so, good.
What did we pay for him? Wasnāt it something like 7 million Euros? Heās a little belter either way
Not AGAIN!
ā¬13.00m
For a credible understudy for Andy Robertson that is a ridiculously low price , even if it is Ā£5m more than we paid for the main man
I think he still isnāt the best of defenders but he has a mean streak about him, he seems to commit plenty of āinnocentā and evenly spread tactical fouls, so the referee takes time to book him, a bit like our own version of Fernandinho. I donāt think that Klopp has ever rotated as much as heās rotating now and itās a testament to Tsimikasā quality that he can play in a virtually unfamiliar defence and still perform admirably. That said, he still hasnāt played against the best wingers and fullbacks that the league has to offer, weāll see how he does if heās called upon against them.
Klopp must already know how heās likely to fare given who heās coming up against in training.
Bloody hell, Edwards
It wasnāt long ago we were being told that when you have an outstanding individual you canāt bring in other players in the same position because no one would want to just sit on the bench all the time.
This lad hasnāt just proved heās a good back up. Heās now genuine competition for Robertson. His delivery is at least as good. At the moment itās probably slightly better. Another full back assist machine in the making.
The lad looks like he can get to the by-line also for delivering cut backs
Whenās the last time we had two decent options at left-back?
Realistically, I donāt think heās anywhere near Robbo, but heās closer than most other left-backs in the world.
Love his personality, and his corners are art.
Not in my lifetime.
The only other LB depth I can remember that comes close in the history of the PL is maybe Cole and Sylvinho/van Bronkhorst at Arsenal.
Weāre lucky to have them.
Does anyone thing there is an option to play Tsimikas ahead of Robbo on the left wing?
Yes, although I donāt think it would be done except for injuries in midfield.
For Scotland, is Tierney normally the further forward if theyāre both played on the left?
