'Against Man City...' - Liverpool fans react to Kostas Tsimikas display in 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest

Liverpool fans have had their say after Kostas Tsimikas’ performance in the 3-0 home win over Nottingham Forest on Sunday (29 October).

The Greece international was standing in for first-choice left-back Andy Robertson, who has recently undergone surgery on a shoulder injury.

Tsimikas has started each of the last two Premier League games – both of which have ended in Liverpool victory.

He was rested for the 5-1 demolition of Toulouse in the Europa League last week (26 October), with young left-back Luke Chambers staking his claim for the position in Robertson’s absence.

Tsimikas was restored to the lineup against Forest and completed 94% of his 64 attempted passes as well as winning two aerial battles and four tackles (as per WhoScored).

Nevertheless, one fan shared his concern about the 27-year-old – claiming he is a “second-grade” option for Jurgen Klopp.

Another fan accused the Greek of “complacency” as he ripped into the defender’s “awful” display.

One supporter claimed the left-back provided “zero attacking threat” for Klopp’s side.

Meanwhile, another fan fears Tsimikas will be “slaughtered” when Liverpool face Man City on 25 November.

And one supporter claimed the 27-year-old would not get into the first-team any other “top six” club.

But despite admitting Tsimikas will “never be Robertson”, one fan argued that the left-back had a good game against Forest.

Similarly, another fan insisted the ex-Olympiakos man will improve as he racks up back-to-back starts for Klopp’s side.

One supporter warned his fellow fans against expecting performances similar to Robertson from the Greece international.

In other news, Liverpool handed “huge” boost in race to sign “potential world beater”.
