Liverpool veteran James Milner has praised the club's January signing Cody Gakpo.
The Dutch winger has come into the club at a difficult time, with the Reds struggling domestically.
While he has not looked as though he can make a huge impact in his first few games, Gakpo has earned Milner's praise for his effort.
He stated of Gakpo and teammate Stefen Bajčetić to the club website: "You see people like Stefan coming into the team and doing very well, and it's important we protect those guys and make sure people like him keep doing what they're doing.
"It's important we keep that positivity. It's easy to be very down and look at all the negatives when you aren't getting results you want, but it's important to highlight things that are good as well.
"At Brighton, I thought Cody was outstanding. He's obviously desperate to get on the scoresheet, but I thought his performance in the game was outstanding.
"It's important that doesn't get lost because, if you're not acknowledging the good things you're doing, it's going to be hard to get the momentum and the confidence to get on a roll."
