Liverpool goalkeeper Simon Mignolet praised Kolo Toure's influence on their 1-0 win over Stoke City.
It was a first league start since February 12 for Toure, who had impressed at centre-back in the last two European matches.
"He has got the experience. He has played throughout the years and he knows what he is capable of doing," Mignolet said of the 33-year-old Ivorian.
"He can help the team and organise them so we know what to expect from him and he works his socks off every day in training and is always ready when the gaffer needs him."
