Aly Cissokho is eager to make his debut for Liverpool after watching his new side defeat Stoke 1-0 on the opening day of the season. "Valencia weren't playing until 11pm, so I had plenty of time during the afternoon to watch the game while still at home," said the 25 year old.

"I saw the whole game, I already knew I was going to sign for Liverpool so it was great that they won and played well.

"It was a very good start and the beginning of the season is always important. It was a very good performance against a Stoke side that defended well as a team.

"They played very well with a lot of passing the ball on the deck and the forward players showed a lot of skill and weren't scared to try things. It was an entertaining game to watch."
