Andy Robertson gained’t be the one Liverpool participant in want of a protracted, arduous look within the mirror after Fulham humbled their opponents on Saturday.
Nonetheless, the Scotland worldwide performed a starring function in what was maybe the guests’ most hapless first-half Premier League show within the 2024/25 season.
The Merseysiders conceded three objectives in simply shy of 1 / 4 of an hour, with the Reds left-back instantly contributing to Alex Iwobi’s lead-establishing purpose.
Robertson (on a reported £160k-a-week, in line with Capology) inexplicably performed a lofted ball throughout the pitch in Liverpool’s third, regardless of heavy Fulham site visitors.

Jamie Carragher couldn’t imagine Andy Robertson error
Jamie Carragher was, fairly understandably, nearly puzzled to clarify the Scot’s error.
“What a multitude! It’s such a poor cross from a participant of Robertson’s high quality,” the previous Purple informed Sky Sports activities.
“He then doesn’t make the header and it hits him on the way in which in.”
Even taking into consideration the previous Hull Metropolis defender’s blended type this time period, we’re struggling to know what was going by way of his thoughts inviting hazard with such a cross.
We do agree with Arne Slot that this was one in every of a number of ‘one-off’ errors that we’re unlikely (we hope) to see once more anytime quickly.
To place it merely, we will’t afford a repeat of this come West Ham’s journey to Anfield subsequent Sunday – and we don’t count on it.
Liverpool have to look to the long run
While there’s greater than a case to be made for maintaining Andy Robertson within the squad for the foreseeable future, we simply can’t see a world by which Arne Slot opts to maintain the 31-year-old as his first-choice.
Amid ongoing, and what appear to be fairly dependable, hyperlinks to Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez, it appears Liverpool are already trying towards the long run.
To be completely clear, we don’t need our No.26 going anyplace this summer season, and we suspect it is going to be Kostas Tsimikas of our senior left-back choices set to be culled this summer season.
Finally, nevertheless, the proof of the 2024/25 season makes clear we have to severely think about some ruthless selections in the summertime to construct on a possible Premier League title-winning marketing campaign.
Sadly, which will very effectively imply just a few fan-favourites pays the value within the title of progress.
