James Milner slaps Kostas Tsimikas

Milner wakes up Tsimikas

Kostas Tsimikas enjoyed a pretty impressive full Premier League debut for Liverpool, but it wasn't without its faults.

Not least when the tiring Greek was caught dozing during the second half and lost possession in a dangerous area.

The threat ultimately dissipated, but that didn't prevent Tsimikas being given a quick, sharp slap around the chops from skipper James Milner urging him to stay more alert.

Welcome to the Liverpool first team, Kostas.

As a Chelsea fan, I wish thiago Silva can slap jorginho every time he jeopardise our defense

James milner is a role model for youngsters. We are lucky to have him. I wish he stays with liverpool until he retires.

[wayneshone]

[aaronlfcynwa]

And that slap just woke him the whole season.. he's a beast LB now

[chaidarfiqri]

If Milner played for United, Maguire would have brain damage right now.

Tsimikas shows humility here which is very different than submisivness. He realized what he did, acknowledged what his role is at that moment and accepted his punishment. This shows a great emotional inteligence and responsibility for the collective rather than the individual. Also, a great awereness from what could his actions possibly result in. Milner just reminds him and increases his bloodflow to the head :D

[zulfazlisofiuddin]

He has going to his best after that slap. Thanks, James. We owe you that.

[JL-ddgd]

[jaseerabdulla]

[RichardtheFourth]

Tsimikas has been fab. He took the slap humbly and will be a better player for it. LOVED his dancing after the Caribo cup win 🤣

[georgedanilov]

A real pro attitude

[kosstam]
