Jose Enrique has praised Liverpool central defender Ibrahima Konate on Twitter for his performance against Brighton and Hove Albion in the Premier League on Saturday.

The former Liverpool star has said that Konate is the only player in Jurgen Klopp’s side that played well.

Liverpool have suffered a bad defeat to Brighton away from home in the Premier League today.

The £70,000-a-week (Spotrac) Konate played well at the back, but the central defender could have done better for the third goal.

It was a very poor performance from Liverpool, and although Konate was far from his best, he was one of the better players for the Reds.

In our view, Liverpool were really poor against Brighton and Hove Albion in the Premier League today.

Yes, we know that Brighton are a good team who can compete against the best of sides, but Liverpool just did not look themselves.

The former Premier League and UEFA Champions League winners were defensively shaky, and even in attack, they did not look particularly great.

Liverpool are still very much in the race for the Premier League top four, but there is no doubt that they need to improve.
