      His defensive work doesn't get enough credit. Not afraid to kick it out for a corner or a thrown in instead of trying something utterly stupid and nonsensical. It's no surprise that our most shambolic defensive display in recent months was the 3-2 loss to West Brom a couple of weeks back when Moreno was playing left back (and Mignolet in goal).

      This.

      When you need to clear it just F***ing do it and he does and I like that.

      Reminds me of a non league game I saw when the winning teams manager said to his sub "all I want you to do is kick it and head it as far as you can, no trying to play if it comes your way just F***ing clear it!"

      Was not sure about him when he first arrived. Could not real get a game due to Moreno, who was starting to look really decent. Then Robertson got what he needed, a chance due to an injury to Moreno... And he has progressed head over heels...

      We may lose a "Tiny" bit in him going forward vs Moreno (Moreno's speed and tanasticy) but boy can he defend, and in this department beats Moreno hands down... Moreno may have the speed to get back but to often does not have the judgement not to dive in and try and win the unwinnable... Robertson is more measured in his approach and thinks about what he wants to achieve, where as Moreno reacts... On they day two solid LB, but the edge has to be with Robertson

      Apart from his footballing ability, what impresses me the most about him is his speaking in his interviews, always spot on in his assessments and you can just tell his proud as F***ing punch, playing for this Club.

      I genuinely cannot think of a single thing that Moreno has over Robertson. Yeah he might be faster than Robertson but that means f**k all when he time and again fails to track back to defence after an ill judged run forward. I don't think there's an edge between them. A gulf is probably more precise. As far as I'm concerned we can use in the event of Robertson being injured I'd reintroduce Nathaniel Clyne to that area than relying on Moreno. (for me Clyne can't displace Joe and TAA. Both are nailed down in right back now and both will only get better and better).

      Puts in one hell of a shift. Great to have a Scottish lad o the team again. A couple of Irish and Welsh we'll be sorted! 😁

      Agreed, itā€™s no coincidence we look so much more balanced since Moreno has gone.

      Robertson is the real deal.

      To be honest I think the more muscular presence of Moreno accelerates the impression of pace.

      Iā€™ve not actually seen Robbo lose a foot race and even if heā€™s beaten by trickery he recovers so quickly (probably Bertieā€™s greatest weakness) and is back all over the opposition making life difficult.

      There was a moment the other night where their fella beat him about 3 times and still couldnā€™t get shot of him.

      That he seems to play entirely without personal ego is one of the most refreshing things about him.

      Wee tramp of a ball boy tried to steal Sadioā€™s match ball, Robbo made sure it got to its rightful owner. People on twitter calling him a bad guy for taking it from the kid. Pretty sure we should be teaching children not to steal what ainā€™t theirs. Well in Robbo

      People on Twitter complaining on Robbo taking the ball need to wake the F**k up. Instead of bitching they need to be pointing our boy out and telling their youngsters ā€œthat right there is what a good teammate doesā€. The fact that some people could turn it the other way is case and point whatā€™s wrong with society today.  :mad:

      A remarkable piece of business to get him for as little as we did and even more remarkable has been his ascendancy under Klopp. JĆ¼rgen clearly worked him hard in those first couple of months when he wasn't playing regularly for us. He really knows how to integrate and develop players but he can only do so with the will and determination displayed by the likes of Robertson. Still young and still learning - keep it up Andy!

      Think he has been brilliant recently and looks like he really plays a huge role in our defense. Things have looked brilliant since him, Karius and VVD started playing together, exciting times ahead.

      Was superb today, my motm. Have been so impressed with him. For a defensive point of view he is quick, tenacious, strong in the tackle and his positioning his very good. Going forward he has an incredible engine, superb delivery and you can see him developing some great chemistry with Mane and Firmino over the past few weeks. And with TAA developing very nicely on the opposite side we suddenly look very well set in the full back positions for years to come.

      Thought he was brilliant yesterday again.

      Got caught for their goal but only because he was where he should be and Emre did one of his glacier impressions and lost the ball.

      Glad he got the assist afterwards to show it hadnā€™t affected his ambition/ confidence.

      Said at the start of the season if he got a run heā€™d cement the lb spot.......kidā€™s making me look like Nostradamus ;)

      Only Ā£8.5 million I think, we sold Hull Kevin Stewart for the same value so basically a swap, remarkable business indeed mate.

      I can't speak for everyone else but it's great to have another Scottish lad in the side,when you think of how long our list is of Scottish legends that have pulled on the shirt for the reds.
      it's been quite some time since we had a Scottish international in our side ( think the last was stevie nicol)and the way this lad is going I can see him being added to that glorious list.

      Totally agree but what used to get me with Moreno, for all of his flaws, was if that was him yesterday, being caught like that, he'd have been linched when he shouldn't have. He made some howlers but it used to grind on me when he'd be incorrectly blamed for being out of position while doing what the system asked of him.

      Robbo is now the number one LB and rightly so. Grown and grown into the role by the week and long may his form continue. I'm also more than happy with Moreno being a number 2 for the LB spot.

      Fair comment mate.

      Personally - it was never the ones like yesterday that got me with Bertie. Itā€™s when he was 3-5 yards wrong side when weā€™re deeper that used to grind my gears......

      Ones like yesterday will always be down to an individual error in wrong place exposing a system.
