Brendan Rodgers applauded the commitment of Christian Benteke after Liverpool's mid year marking from Aston Villa scored the main objective in the Monday night triumph over AFC Bournemouth.
Benteke tapped in a Jordan Henderson cross in the 26th moment to give Liverpool a 1-0 win to open his record for the club. Rodgers was satisfied by the Belgian's general commitment, trusting that more will come when Benteke's fellow team members see better what he can do.
"He was a genuine modest bunch today evening time," Rodgers said. "You've seen all aspects of his amusement. His hold-up play is exceptional and he's got a brilliant touch for a major gentleman.
"He can help the ball on into ranges, he can take the ball in, control the amusement, switch the diversion, his touch was great and you could see him connecting and consolidating.
"There was one minute when the ball came into the crate, which was one of the reasons we hoped to get him, and as the cross came into the case in light of his quality and force he attempted to reach it yet it dropped and made a chance for Coutinho to shoot.
"In my time here that is never truly happened. The ball's come in and afterward perhaps been gotten out. But since of his physicality and his contact, he keeps the ball alive in the unsafe territory of the field and that will truly offer assistance. Once the players get used to seeing that and working with that, that will offer us more chances to score objectives."
After a baffling season in 2014/15, Rodgers was upbeat to begin the new crusade with two wins, taking after the 1-0 win at Stoke City on the opening weekend, with another clean sheet the good to beat all.
"I''m satisfied we've got two wins, six focuses and two clean sheets," Rodgers said. "Guarded association has been great and that is essential for us.
"There are a considerable measure of new players that have come into the club and it will take them a tad bit of time to bed in. What we're seeing is a character and soul in the group and that will be critical for us.
