NewsKostas Tsimikas explains how Liverpool can turn promising start into success

Liverpool have impressed in the early stages of the Arne Slot era, suffering just one defeat across three competitions in their start to 2024-25.

But Tsimikas and his teammates are fully aware the team's development under the Dutchman is only in its infancy.

The left-back said: "It's very early in the season, you can't say in one department we are very good or in another department we are very bad.

"I think we have to improve in every department every day if we want to be successful.

"My opinion is that we are in the right way. I think we have to improve in every department. If we want to win football matches, always we have to improve to play better if we want to achieve our goals.

"I think we perform well – it's very important to continue like that. I think the future will be hard, as the start has been. I think everybody is ready for these challenges ahead. We have to go for it."

The Reds drew 2-2 away at Arsenal on the weekend, twice coming from behind to earn a point in a tussle between Premier League heavyweights.

Although Slot's men have now slipped from first to second in the standings, Tsimikas accepted the reward such a resilient performance brought.

"We take the one point and we have to deal with it," he reflected. "It's a very tough place to go, it's a very good team.

"Twice we were down and at the end we took the point. We have to deal with that, we have to take the point, we have to continue. We have to play better football to win football matches.

"I think the result at the end was fair for both of the teams. We take the point, we deal with that and we go for everything we have ahead. We want to win more games.

"[Arsenal] are a very tough opponent and it's a very tough place to go and play. We take the point."
