      This is a major. Don't get fooled. He'll be out 2 months which means he needs another 2 months to get back to 100%. Thank God we have Kostas who honestly did look as good as Robbo to me. Kostas could do to Robbo what Robbo did once to Moreno. We'll see what happens when Robbo is fit again.

      This is the most sh*t hot-take I've ever seen.

      He isn't going to be 4 months to get back up to speed. If there's no surgery, then the timeline is likely what is being touted...he should be back after International break. In the meantime, Kostas will do just fine I think. Not quite the rock that Robertson is, but so far he's showing that he's got an eye for a cross.

      if Kostas does to Robbo what Robbo did to Moreno, I'll be astonished, for the simple reason that Robbo is great and Moreno was sh*te. Kostas would have to be Roberto Carlos and Paulo Maldini rolled into one to be to Andy what Andy was to Moreno.

      If Kostas does a decent job filling in so we don't miss Andy too much, he'll have done very well. But, soon as he's fit, Andy'll be back in the side. (Hopefully Kostas is good enough that Jürgen feels able to rest Andy in the odd game though. We have been over-reliant on him and Trent staying fit the last couple of years. FB positions are the 2 where we had least strength in depth last season - certainly Jürgen was very reluctant to rest those 2 at all. Good to hear Kostas is looking good this pre-season - and him getting a few competitive games at the start of this season is a chance for him to show we actually do have proper cover at LB.)

      We need him for Chelsea for his experience. Then I would rotate him with Tsimikas in UCL as I already said in the other thread.

      With games like today, on both ends of the field, it’s hard to imagine Kostas staying on the bench for much longer.

      How on earth do you watch that game and that's what you come up with that fella?

      Almost all the issues caused in channel between rb and cb......

      Far from his best game but frankly a lot more convincing than Kostas vs Norwich.......one terrific cross aside.

      Seen a sh*t tonne of criticism funneled towards Robbo recently. Like yourself, I just don't get it. Perhaps we're both getting old and not seeing things right? Or maybe we trust and value the qualities of a core player who has helped deliver us European Cup no.6 and title 19 in the last three years?

      So Andy Robbo is the latest scapegoat?

      Why can't it just be that a player is having a bad game, or run of games, instead of them being done and a replacement needed?

      Yup. 2 of the goals were overloads at back post, for 1 goal trent had 3 brentford players to deal with, that's just rubbish from the whole defending unit.

      Cant remember too much robbo did wrong, ok some corners were not great but apart from that. I do remember his brilliant run that got us a fk on the edge of their box that trent then ballooned over the bar. ;D

      Loved his run almost all the way into the penalty area... quality LB & anyone says different is talking sh*te..

      There is a reason why Kostas is on the bench & that’s Robbo...

      He's had a few poor games recently and his crossing and corners aren't as good as Kostas. That's what everyone is remarking at, it is noticeable.

      Say what you like all the balls that led to goals all came from the left hand side and Robbo's efforts to cut them out were poor.

      Think last night was one of the worst games I've seen him play for us. I noticed a fair few mistakes (passes going astray etc) during the last 15 or so minutes, which I think was brought on by him losing his head a little bit - trying to be too over the top and wanting to right his earlier wrongs.

      Probably worth starting Tsimikas against Porto and seeing how he does. If he impresses again, there'll probably be a very credible argument to start him against City.

      All that being said I still love Robbo and it's very plausible that he's not 100% fit at the moment following the Euros and his injury in pre-season in which he was possibly rushed back from. No doubt he'll be back to his best soon enough

      Robbo is a better crosser than he’s been recently but he’s also struggled defensively. No one is bashing him and ready to run him out of town, but there’s now legit competition for the position for the first time in years.

      You're not wrong. But at the same time, the entire defence was as shambles. 1st goal Fab was caught sleeping at the back post, 2nd goal Raya was well out of his box with nobody making any effort to pressure him and then Virgil made a piss poor attempt to put any effort into heading the ball. Alisson and the defence could've done more, the midfield and attack could've pressed a lot better.
      It's all well and good saying all the goals came from play on Robbo's side but nobody was good enough defensively, simple as that. There were parts of play that led to the attacks going out to that wing that shouldn't have happened which was a failing on the attack and midfield not doing their job properly. If the rest of the defence had a good game and it was individually Robbo who had a mare then fair enough all the criticism going his way but it's not like that, the entire defence was sh*te. In fact, IMO the CB's and Fab were worse than Robbo. The CB's gave next to no support to Trent and Robbo, countless times there were balls into the box and Trent was going into an aerial challenge with 3 Brentford players surrounding him, like on the 3rd goal for example.

      The entire team was poor defensively and I think it's one of our worst performances defensively for a long time. We were a mess from start to finish and weren't learning from the same mistakes that were happening time and time again.

      At least Robbo got an assist for our 3rd goal so there is at least something positive to take from his performance.

      Goals coming from a ball delivered from a defenders side doesn't mean the defender is at fault......depends where the cross is made etc.......

      Goals coming from gaping chasms and overloads generally does mean someone has ballsed up. On Saturday that was TAA and Joel.

      Problem was 2nd balls - Jürgen said that. He didn't say......"oh those crosses should never have got in....".

      Some people seem to want a change - I hope to christ JK isn't one of 'em.
