      Wow. The Anfield crowd in absolute raptures there. It's something like that that can define a relationship between player and fans.

      Growing into the full back position.
      After a patchy start to his time here, is starting to show what he can do.
      Had Sterling in his pocket all match.
      Pressed well too, showed great energy.
      A good shout for MOTM no doubt.

      Just 5 years ago playing for Queen's Park in the Scottish third division after being given the heave by Celtic youth for not being good enough and 'too small'.

      Now 5 years later - MOTM in a 4-3 victory against Pep Guardiola's Man City for Jürgen Klopp's Liverpool.

      What a story.

      Did what a proper fullback does to an in-form winger......let him know he was there early, stayed on him relentlessly and ultimately dominated to the point of bullying Sterling before the end.

      Two performances in a row as good as you’ll see from a full-back all season.

      The fact they’ve been our two biggest games of the season to date is even more laudable ;)

      Oh boy I've been proven wrong

      I'll admit, I never rated him, technically weak, defensively wasn't ok and going forward he was decent. BUT, in the last two or three games (especially today) he showed a side that I've never seen from him before. Great at pressing, stamina, defensively solid, good passing, good touch, ran like a workhorse and tactically solid. He is still not good at crossing but so what, Jose Enrique was a good left back but was shyte technically. What strikes me that it isn't just a one ''off'' game, he's been really improving every game and so far has shown that for 8m we got ourselves a bloody good left back. The last time we had a good one was Riise/Aurelio (I thought Jose Enrique was good, too bad about his attitude) but then we had to contend with the likes of Konchesky, Aly Cissokho and a young Moreno.

      I gave him a MOTM because he was phenomenal against Sterling. Moreno will have a very very difficult time taking his spot back when he's back from injury.

      This is a terrible signing. I don't know what we were thinking. Bottom of the barrel LB doesn't solve our problems. I wonder why Robertson was so easy to sign :roll:

      ;D

      Scotia....he's the REAL deal. This kid is only going to get better which might be the scary part. He's tough as nails and it doesn't appear that he gives a flying pig's ass about who he's going against...he'll just stick him in jail with the rest and get on with his work.

      We've got   a very rich history of Scots in our side and it's an elite list & the majority of them legends, so not only is it fantastic to have another scot in the side but this lad could well turn out to be another cracker well in robbo.

      I hope Moreno will show the same drive and professionalism he showed early this year as a backup / squad player. Because after this run from 26 that is all he is

      That's it, I've tried to be cautious, I've tried not to overreact to a few good matches at the start of his Liverpool career, but F**k it, I'm convinced now, I love this fella.

      For some weird reason I've always loved fullbacks, J.A. Riise was for a decent period of time my favourite LFC player, and if Robertson can keep this kind of form and enthusiasm going, he'll soon be up there!

      Reminds me of Alan Kennedy.  Looks like a "proper" left back to me and despite Moreno's strides forward this season, I feel more confident of us as a unit with Robertson's name on the team sheet.  Think he's going to become a stalwart in defence along with Gomez in years to come.
      Said it before and say it again, a proper full back and showed it against top level opposition yesterday.  With him alongside VVD, our back line suddenly looks a lot more solid than we've been used to.
