"What pleased me most about Tuesday's game wasn't just the victory or the goals, it was to see Momo Sissoko playing again," said the Liverpool boss. "He was training all week with the special glasses, but during the game they began steaming up so he had more problems.
"He decided to take them off but wanted to continue playing. This shows how much courage the boy has. There was an element of risk in him playing without the glasses, but he has a strong character and he is a winner.
"For sure he can become one of the best midfielders around because he is so good mentally and in terms of ability. Look at his performance on Tuesday. There were times when he was determined to make key tackles and he's always working for the whole game."
