Genuinely one of the funniest things I've seen this week. It's when he bangs his head on it first!

What is this stuff about pushing with both hands in the back off opponents both at the back and up front, absolute ridiculous.

He was another who had a poor game today. And most of his poor performances this season have been 2nd in a week performances. I'm guessing he doesn't want Kostas in because we don't have a RB, but robbo isn't playing at the same level twice per week now.

Yeah it's usually just clumsy moments but he's being badly punished, it's also annoying that we seem unable to recover once a mistake is made and this was one of our issues in the past. One player gives it away, someone gets a foot in seconds later but then hoofs it right to an opponent or something. I think it can spread when one or two players are making mistakes which put others under pressure, everyone's level can drop off through nerves etc.

Yeah, I think there's an element of that. I do also think there's a general lack of urgency around the team and winning 2nd balls, no matter where in the pitch, seems to be any sort of priority for any of them. So even when they go for them, they seem to be almost on their heels and don't make it.

Yeah we seem slow to react and it feels like we never get a foot in when we actually do get there. I thought the press looked good in the first 15 or so mins (I missed the first few minutes tbf) with one man going and the others backing him up to stop them playing through us. We also seemed to be moving the ball quickly and with purpose, then it felt like the game became quite scruffy just like the Everton first half and it seemed to play to their strengths with us losing duels and being second to all the loose balls. It's a bit worrying that I'm seeing players sulking and moaning just because they're not tough enough to handle the duels, Dom usually starts crying to the ref whilst the ball is still in play which pisses me off, at least wait till there's a break in play!

[Binomial]

A legend of the club, one of the best value signing we've ever made, I'll be forever grateful for that but we need to realise when doctor time has caught up with players and now is that time for Robbo.

 

It's hard for me to fathom how someone who was widely considered as the best LB in the world, can be so awful to watch in possession, especially in his own half.

I can't believe I've never seen this before

Andy Robbo is one of the older heads in the squad. He was also born in 1994. Where does the time go?

Exactly why I've been trying to encourage people to stop fretting and start enjoying these days.

[AngryofTuebrook]

Robbo is one of football's good guys and definitely deserves to win a title in front of fans.

Best PL left back of all time for me. In his prime he was a fierce defender and churning out like for like stats with Trent

Proper drinking weekend for Roberson, this.

Could do with having Bobby being around, the pissed up cunt.

He’s flying in at the end of May.

 

No motorists in Liverpool will be safe.

Robbo mentioned the necessity of Scottish players to Liverpool’s success, so it’s worth remembering that he’s also doing his part for the future:

You would forgive Andy Robertson for recoiling at the mere mention of the name Milos Kerkez.

 

The Scotland captain's position as Liverpool's first-choice left-back - a post he has had a stranglehold on for the past eight seasons - could be under duress if the Anfield club get a deal for Bournemouth's Hungary international over the line.

 

Club legend Robertson is about to enter the final year of his contract at the age of 31, with many suggesting Kerkez could be a long-term replacement for the two-time Premier League champion and Champions League winner.

 

"We're not daft, it looks as if a deal could potentially be done," Robertson told BBC Scotland, when asked about the Kerkez rumours.

 

"But, until that is done, I've not even given that a second thought. I back myself, I've got confidence in my own ability and that drives me forward."

He added: "I've had eight fantastic years at Liverpool in terms of winning trophies, being a mainstay in the team, which I'm incredibly proud of.

 

"I'm not getting any younger, I can't change my age, but I still believe I've got a lot to give and that's what I focus on. I focus on myself - you can't focus on other people or who you're competing with.

 

"I still believe I have a hell of a lot to give for however many years I can keep going. My body feels good at the minute. I can't tell you how I'll feel at 33 or 34, but I can tell you, at 31, I feel excellent.

 

"I've been fit for every game, I've not missed a training session and that's not a sign of someone who is slowing down.

 

"I've got a year left at Liverpool, I'm looking forward to a switch off, I'm looking forward to a holiday and then I'll look forward to pre-season. What the future holds after that? I've not given it too much thought."

'I've got years left with Scotland'

In the meantime, Robertson is back with his international team-mates as they look to bounce back from their Nations League play-off defeat by Greece in March.

 

With friendlies against Iceland and Liechtenstein coming up prior to the World Cup qualifying campaign kicking off in the autumn, some might question whether the veteran might have been tempted to absent himself from these June games.

 

But, despite being the wrong side of 30, Robertson's committment remains as fierce and he has no intention of following Celtic captain Callum McGregor's example of focusing solely on club football, with the two at the same age.

 

"I think every individual is different," he said. "I know, at the Euros, Callum was struggling and had a tougher season in terms of injuries and he made that decision.

 

"I think in Scotland he'll be on the training pitch earlier and will have Champions League qualifiers, so they perhaps don't get as much time off. 

 

"You have to make individual choices and Callum made his choice. That was best for his career and he's obviously prioritised trying to play for Celtic as long as he can.

 

 

"All I can say is it's not crossed my mind as of yet and I hope it doesn't because I love playing for my country. 

 

"It's the biggest honour in football and I've done it 82 times now and I've still got that hunger to try and succeed and to try and help the young lads.

 

"There will be a point when the time comes, but I still believe I've got a good number of years left."

 

Robertson's Scotland head coach, Steve Clarke, who lifted the Cup Winners' Cup as a 34-year-old at Chelsea in 1998, believes his captain will meet the challenge at club level and continue to lead his national team.

 

"If Andy decides to stay and fight for his place, I'm sure he'll play enough," he said. "He had to fight so hard to have a career and to build on that.

 

"I don't see a decline in him. I see him coming here and playing well and I've watched him a number of times for Liverpool and I didn't see any drop.

 

"Alex McLeish made a big decision when Andy was quite young and not long in the squad to make him the captain. When I came in, I saw no reason to change that captaincy and he's been a fantastic captain for Scotland."

 

With Sir Kenny Dalglish's long-standing cap record just 20 appearances away, do not expect that to be a challenge that Robertson will shirk.

Wouldn’t be the first player in his 30’s to start struggling with two games a week at the highest level. If Kerkez does come in and Robbo starts less often this season it may yet preserve his LFC career. 

[VladimirIlyich]

The longer he has left with Scotland the shorter time he has left at Liverpool.

I cant believe these players cannot see the benefit Milner had from retiring from international football,if they want to maximise their career at the top level.

Robertson will leave on a free next summer would be my guess.
