'As a former left-back myself': Ex-Red Fabio Aurelio analyzes Tsimikas and Robertson situation at Liverpool

Fabio Aurelio joins the LFC Legends as they take on Man United legends in a charity game on 24th September and the ex-Red gave his opinion on the current players occupying his former position in the Liverpool lineup.

"I was impressed with Kostas Tsimikas again during Liverpool's win against AFC Ajax in the Champions League earlier this week. 

"Obviously it was a shame Andy Robertson was unavailable through injury but we're really seeing the benefits of having such good competition at left-back. 

"Getting more game time and having the opportunity to show what kind of player he is, you can see the increase in Tsimikas' confidence massively, and that'll be helping his performance levels.

"It wasn't an easy start to Tsimikas' career at Anfield in 2020-21, only making seven appearances. For all the importance of training, the rhythm of games at this level are completely different to sessions. You can be well prepared but without the games you can suffer, in my opinion.

"It seems Jürgen Klopp is prepared to use both of his left-backs more than he did in previous campaigns. 

"That can help push the levels of Robertson and Tsimikas even higher as both will want to be starting – helping the team at the same time. I see it as a win-win situation. 

"Just watching Liverpool as a former left-back myself and interested fan, I really enjoy how this coaching staff uses their full-backs. It's certainly not what I was used to. If the right full-back went forward, you needed to hold more."
