In the Carabao Cup, Liverpool secured an impressive 5-1 victory over West Ham, with Cody Gakpo scoring twice, Diogo Jota regaining his form, and Mohamed Salah adding a quick goal. However, despite the dominant performance, there were some issues, notably Kostas Tsimikas losing possession 19 times.
Tsimikas has been a reliable player for Liverpool since joining from Olympiakos for £12m in 2020. He’s made 91 appearances, provided 17 assists, and won several major trophies with the club.
The Greek currently is on £75,000 per week at Anfield. Despite his impressive left foot and creative abilities, Tsimikas still struggles with positioning and awareness, making him less reliable overall.
The Greek Has Mixed Reactions From The Fans
As shown above, the 28-year-old’s performance was not entirely poor, but he did have some shortcomings. He opted for a blocked shot instead of passing to a better-positioned Salah, didn’t attempt a single dribble, and missed the mark with all six of his crosses, according to Sofascore.
Since joining Liverpool in 2020, Kostas Tsimikas has established himself as a valuable squad player under Jürgen Klopp. Although he hasn’t consistently secured a starting position, The Greek has remained a reliable option, showcasing a positive attitude that has earned him praise from Klopp. His contributions to the team, particularly during crucial moments, highlight his importance within the squad, even if he often finds himself on the bench.
Despite his eagerness to make an impact, Kostas Tsimikas lost possession 19 times and struggled to keep up against an energetic Jarrod Bowen. Fans feel his recent performances haven’t met Liverpool’s standards, and many believe he shouldn’t start in the upcoming Premier League match against Wolverhampton Wanderers.

If Liverpool receives a compelling offer for the £11.75 million player, it could lead to a potential transfer this summer.
