Hi eds,

There has been some chat about players getting older and losing form (Salah, Virgil) - what do you think about Robbo? Looks a bit shot, and obviously has had some injuries recently.

Would you look to move him on and keep Kostas with Beck stepping up? Or is Kostas more likely to be sold with Beck becoming deputy? Or alternatively, both could get sold with Beck getting promoted and a new LB coming in, although I am not sure who Slot could bring in.

Cheers for the insight!

{Ed002's Note - I am not aware of any proposed changes at LB. Previously the agent of Tsimkas said he was being forced out of the club to raise €20M or more. Since then it has been quiet and I am not aware of any approaches for him. I am not ware of approaches for or plans to sell Robertson.}

Robertson is not shot.

Might just be a case of him taking time to get back up to speed after his injury. The club will know the difference.

Robbo looked way off it (understandably) when he first came back from injury but has been getting back up to speed in the last couple of games.

He will be his old self again and ready to go after a full preseason.

I’d let tsimikas go but I’d keep Robbo.

I see Robbo as being a very strong candidate to be the next captain should VVD leave. At times he was the only one still battling this year when everyone was so down and playing so poorly. Isn't close to being finished, mentally or physically.

Agreed captain for me robbo or Trent (to spur him on) let vvd, Gomez, kostas, jones go and matip and Thiago free obviously. Bring in 2 centre backs a good holding midfielder in the mould of Fabinho, replace salah and if Diaz wants to go let him, but I’d personally keep Diaz. Even Jota could go but only because he’s picking up lots of injuries.

Absolutely have to keep Robbo. We could be losing Diaz, Salah and poss Nunez so we need to keep a core of players who know what it means to play for Liverpool. Plus Robbo still has plenty in the tank. Magico happy to keep Diaz but looking at how Slot plays I'm not sure he suits the mould.
