Liverpool fans will be pleased with Lewis Koumas’s approach to getting minutes

Liverpool were forced to start young prospect Lewis Koumas, and while he could not decide the game in Alexander Isak's stead as the Reds were badly beaten 3-0 by Manchester City, he impressed with his work rate and running. Koumas told reporters that he intends on making the most of his opportunities, “I think any time you're on the pitch for Liverpool, you can't take it for granted because with the quality around you, you don't know whether it's going to be your last.

Liverpool got it handed to them by Manchester City 3-0 at Anfield on Sunday, but they have to take any positives they can with them, and there are high hopes for young forward Lewis Koumas. While Koumas was a bit out of place in a game of this magnitude, Kopites are excited to see what he can do going forward, and Andoni Iraola spoke a bit about him after the tough loss. Iraola told reporters, "His performances, how he's training, how he's given everything for the team. I trust that he can give us a good threat for City. We have some injuries but I trust 100 per cent my team. I think he's very mobile forward. He's playing all the positions – he can play wide, attacking more the spaces. I think it's quite complete. Obviously he's still young but these games also will be very good for ...
