"Kostas [Tsimikas] was really, really good today, I have to say. That's true," Jurgen Klopp told the official Liverpool website after the Bologna friendlies.
"It was just 45 minutes, that's fine, Owen Beck 15 minutes and that's good as well.
"Taki [Minamino] has played a good pre-season, that's true – that's really, really true. Seeing the quality of [Xherdan] Shaqiri and all those things, that's good.
"Having the centre-halves back, playing football, you can see Joey [Gomez] with new long balls from left to right to left, a nice little asset. It's good, we can switch the game quicker maybe.
"Even after a long time, not with all of the guys who came late, we have to get used to each other quickly and then we have to make sure we are ready for the season."
Liverpool won both 60-minute games against the Serie A side but the most important thing was to help as many players as possible to play their way into fitness.
The Reds are due to return to England soon where they will play the final two friendlies of the pre-season against Athletic Bilbao and Osasuna on Sunday and Monday.
