Andy Robertson Player Thread (D)

Good lord. What on earth are you watching if you think Diaz saves Robbo's bacon. Desperate.

Diaz is indescribably poor from deep. Never behind the ball and always ahead of it. But never ahead of it enough to make it count on the break. On the occasion he collects from deep he finds a way of losing the ball. Rinse and repeat. His inability probably makes Robbo work twice as hard on defensive front. And 90% of his attempts to tackle and reclaim the ball just end up with him mindlessly running into the opposition player and bouncing off them onto the floor like some hyperactive toddler in a soft play area. Diaz is a monumental clown of which Robbo deserves a Duke of Edinburgh award for persevering with such sub Everton/Spurs quality ahead of him for so long.

If you think our problems on the left are Robbo's fault as opposed to Diaz then you probably think Jack the Ripper was a pioneer in women's rights.

Well of course someone who's never shied away from hiding his agenda against a player would take this opportunity to slander him. How could one not see this coming.

Diaz has played the last few months as the CF with Gakpo operating down the left....and he's still looked average to poor, so what excuse do you have for that?

Maybe if Robbo got up in support every once in a while like he used to and made himself an option in the final third, we'd get more out of him and be able to make the ball stick up top....that is when he's not lumping it hopelessly for someone to run 20 yards to chase. But yeah, he was real "boss" against City and PSG. Good one.

Behave. Diaz spent a proportion of the December period as number 9 with only the odd game since. If i were you i'd worry about things that are real, not made up in your head.

It’s always amazing how we are doing so well when it seems a good number of our players are it seems sh*t 🙄

Has anyone explicitly said he is Shcit?

Has anyone explicitly said he is Shcit?

You don't think describing him as the weak link, technically poor or the main reason we were hemmed in on Wednesday equates to that?

I see the Scottish boys are taking it as a personal assault to mention Robbo is on the decline 🤣

Has anyone explicitly said he is Shcit?

Take no notice, it's the voice of doom chipping in to take the shine off a wondrous victory,
If Andy Robertson were put up for sale you'd be trampled in the rush!

You really wouldn't.

Some of you guys need to take the red tints off a little.

Said it before he's not finished but anyone trying to argue he's the same player form a few seasons ago is in denial.

There is a world of difference in saying a player had a tough game and struggled  (all the outfield players did)....as opposed to saying the player is irredeemably schit...I don't remember anyone saying he's schit.

Awful again today.

If only his technique was up to scratch, he hadn't lost his pace, didn't lump the ball away and was still able to get forward we might have got something out of that game.

He also absolutely didn't make a massive difference to the tempo and invigorate the the left hand side either.

Can only hope Arne sees sense and reinstates the technically superior Kostas for Tuesday........

Jesus christ the things some of our fans come out with is hilarious. Imagine going to this length to get a hard on over his 2nd half performance today  . He did well, nothing more. There wasn't even any defending was required from him today (thank lord). The left hand side was "reinvigorated" because Diaz remembered his left foot from his right.....that and the fact we play better in 2nd halves 9 times out of 10.

Funny thing aswell was Kostas being our best player first half and if you compare the 2 on the 45mins they had then this is what you'll find;


Kostas - Robbo

Passing acc. 91% (32/35) - 96% (26/27)
Chances created 1-0
Duels won (6/10) - (0/2)
Tackles won (4/5) - (0/0)
Attempted Crosses 4-3
Recoveries 3-2
Interceptions 2-1
Dispossessed 0-1

So yes, individually he was better across the board and yes there was a reason he got the nod to start in the first place.

Talk more sh*te mate it's great.

You're right there was a reason - to rest /protect Robbo. It didn't work so he came on.

You're f***in hilarious with your stats and quasi-babble.

Kostas was really  poor and got hooked. He isnt good enough and never has been.

The sub made a huge difference - use your eyes to see what's happening and be man enough to admit when your personal bias is exposed as pish

Says the guy that comes into a thread to gloat over a mid/decent performance because he can't handle a bit of criticism to his favourite player of late. On an individual basis Kostas did fine and Robbo no better - Jones and Kostas were the best 2 players first half so clearly it wasn't performance related - you'd have known had you watched the game and the stats back that up across the board anyhow but carry on being in denial.....you're using the situation the team found itself in at HT (a mix up between keeper and captain) and saw the team improve (like they always do in 2nd halves anyway) to boast over an individual performance that really wasn't all that. Hilarious.

Jog on pal.

What negatives have I looked for?

I simply compared the performances of both the LB's and put their head to head stats for everyone to see.....I even said I thought Robbo did well when he came on. Nothing really came down our left side from a defensive perspective all night.

This isn't the time for "I told you so's" but let's not let that stop Scotia coming on to gloat and make a show of himself in the meantime.

Was in the Anfield Road End and we were talking about Kostas doing well to win a few tackles but positionally he was floating away like his sat nav was off.

It was a bit of a clown show on the left today until Robbo arrived. His positional discipline alone prevented / stopped Southampton from ever going down his side (I can't recall them ever broaching flown left or right in that second half). Positional discipline also allowed Diaz to focus on the space ahead of him. Add in the natural intensity of his game and along with Mac and Elliott, he helps turn Liverpool around, pointing us in the right direction again.

He's very much a cut above Kostas. The lad from Bournemouth may come in the summer and displace him but he remains essential to Liverpool whether it be as first choice left back or from the bench. His attitude will always, always be spot on.

Kostas was trash yesterday. That’s the sad part. There’s games where he looks able bodied and a decent backup and then there’s games where you wonder how he even gets on the bench. Night and day difference when Robbo came on.

Truly was a massive difference.


Got up this morning, looked at last night's highlights and the first thing I see is Kerkez's cross for the Bournemouth goal.  First thought, why can't Robbo and Tsimi put crosses in like that?


2nd thought was, get rid of Tsimi, put this bloke as new Number 1 LB and Robbo as back up.

Hato is my pick to eventually replace Robbo. More accomplished and versatile than Kerkez for me but defo need another to share load short term and replace long term.

Is that the lad from Ajax?


Can't remember if that was his name, but if so, I wrote about hopefully getting him about a month ago when the headlines came out. saying Kerkez said no way would he come to Liverpool.

Aye bud

I think Robbo has been an unsung hero in the last 2 months in particular.

No doubt in my mind he's finding it harder to play 3 times a week but he's been doing it.

He got a break last weekend but other than that he's been backing up solidly game after game.

Would have been nice if he could have sat out the weekend but Kostas performance in the first half and his silly yellow he picked up meant Robbo had to come on.

I think Kostas time here may be up and Robbo needs not competition but at his age a player who can rotate with him.

Kostas can stay if he wants but it would be as 3rd choice for me and I'm not sure we will go down the route of 3 left backs in a squad.

The other solution is a LCB/LB hybrid in the mould that Gomez does on the other side but I'm on record as saying my preference is for specialists rather than utility.
