Liverpool defender Ragnar Klavan insists he's prepared to be patient this season.

Klavan started their Premier League opening weekend win over Arsenal.

He's made just three more top flight appearances since then, one of which was from the bench.

"If you don't play, it's the coach's decision," Klavan told Soccernet.ee. "It appeared to be a good choice, the club won 6-1 [against Watford] and are now league leaders.

"For me, it [being on the bench] doesn't mean anything, and I'm not going to analyse it.

"I have the advantage that I'm old enough to understand the situation. Certainly it's different and takes getting used to.

"Every once in a while, on game day, you expect to play, and if you don't, there's a reason for this."
