I thought Robertson had a decent game today I like him. He needs to work on his crossing but he made a great interception in the second half. I think with more work he could be decent. Ed001 I know your not keen on him but do you think he has potential?

{Ed001's Note - potential, yes, but his crossing was garbage today and he wasted every chance he got to put a ball in. I really do not see why people are saying he is playing well. He was not good at all. Hopefully he will learn and grow as a player, but right now he is wasting possession constantly by hitting the first man with cross after cross after cross.}

I still say Moreno ahead of him.

I'll be completely honest, I've always thought that robertson has had solid games previously, never got into the arguments on here, it's very split by the looks of it, today was the first time since his injury that I really missed moreno, we were killing them down the left hand side every time, I don't remember one decent delivery into the box by robertson, his first touch was heavy, he over ran possession and his final ball was completely off. This isn't me slating him like I say but today was his worst performance for us.

{Ed001's Note - I agree, it was his worst, so hopefully it is the bottom line and he will now improve.}

Thanks ed001 happy New year.

{Ed001's Note - and you mate. Good thing is we won, may not have been the best of performances from the lad but he has plenty of time to learn.}

I liked his cover run in the second half. Crucial interception.

Anyone know what the timeline is of Moreno's injury.

Agree Robertson wasted possession a few times today but he had a great covering tackle and a couple of good clearances when Leicester were looking dangerous late on . All in though that was a great 3pts against difficult opposition.

I agree ed, we got the three points and personally, having played for a long time at a fairly decent level, you know in yourself when you haven't played well, I hope he knows, from the amount of balls he played in to nothing, it wasn't a good performance, he can then work off that and improve,

So we're missing Moreno for his attacking points I think everyone can agree. What about his defensive duties though. Would Moreno have made the same interceptions, covering tackles and decisions that Roberston made today? A question we can't really answer truthfully apart from opinions. For me though Moreno's weak link is his defensive duties and decision making. Just my opinion though.

Yes he covered well to snub out the danger.

Robbo had his worst game for LFC today. He was awful offensively and his crosses were useless and severely frustrating. Robbo was also caught up field and out of position a whole lot today and thankfully, Mahrez was a passenger all game so no harm done there. He did make some recovery tackles and credit to him there BUT overall, he was very poor. He is simply NOT a patch on Moreno yet and REALLY needs to do more cos right now, he is nothing more than a work in progress.

Robertson hasn't been playing well, but I still have faith he will improve. Remember Moreno a couple of seasons ago, or even last season? Now he's one of the better leftbacks in the league and we miss him whenever he doesn't play.

Looks like the way we see the game and interpret things varies.

Robertson is defensively better than Moreno and offensively he needs his team mates trust because he does not get the ball when he takes good positions.

Yeah everyone can improve and he also needs to improve.

Cheers.

I don't see how robertson is better defensively at all, at least moreno stops some crosses coming into the box, robertson consistently gets turned inside out.

He was always a stopgap to cover moreno and i fully expect moreno to come straight back into the team whan fit.

I agree he has potential though and is young enough to improve as moreno has done.

Ya know wat though he doing a job for us as the back up left back can't argue this is wat we got a squad for.

We won from a losing position which I though we wouldn’t come back from. But the result was made even better by United drawing abysmally and Everton getting beaten.

Robbo is solid enough. but he is no significant upgrade on moreno. We haad a counter after 2nd goal and suddenly robbo appeared like a flash in the box, we lost the ball amd leicester attacked down his vacant spot. was thinking what the hell is he doing just after we got the lead.

Still think people are judging moreno unfairly.

Sami IMO, there is no way Robbo is better defensively than Moreno. Moreno has improved defensively this seson as he doe not even allow crosses and no player can outrun him to the byline and get a cross in. We cannot say the same for Robbo at this time as he is constantly caught out of position/ up field leaving us exposed on the counter as Faithworks described. Him coming back to bail Matip out is normal as Okazaki was his man so it would be normal for him to track his run and cut it out. That is the basics of FB defending and nothing more as I used to play RB for a while.

Offensively, you are making excuses for him, blaming his team mates for not trusting him more. That is abject fiction IMO, as we all saw him get the ball out wide enough and he made a hash of near every cross he made. Robbo is learning the Klopp way BUT the bigging up needs to end. Robbo is not a patch on Moreno and I expect him to take back his position cos as of now, Robbo has done NOTHING to dislodge him. A player is not better cos you think he is or you want him to be. He will have to show and prove it to us and Robbo is not doing it as of yet. He needs to improve.

Br I enjoy reading your posts and you can see you're an avid fan. But it feels like you're trying to enforce your opinion on people regarding Robertson and Karius the last few posts tonight. Just because people share a different view point than you doesn't make them wrong and it doesn't make them right either. Football is all about opinions. Klopp is picking the team so I'm sure we won't have long to wait to find out who is first choice keeper and left back in his eyes. YNWA.

Robbo made me wonder who thought he was a Liverpool player. I'm a positive fan, he tries hard, is ok defensively, but you have to try really hard to be so atrocious on crosses as he was. He managed to hit the 1st defender even when he was hidden! I just don't see a player in him which is a shame as we need a Scot in the team! Milner is a better option for me. in midfield he just clogs everything up with his slow play.

He’s hardly a glaring weak point though is he? He’s certainly playing better than Moreno was in seasons gone by. Not this year obviously and no he’s not pulling up trees when he has played so far, but what do you expect from a 2nd choice lb in his first year at a huge club? Far more concerning issues at GK, CB and CDM in my opinion.

Jayden, all I did was give an opinion based on what I saw and have seen on both Karius and Robbo. I am not trying to convince anyone of anything at least, that is not my intention. Many on here including yourself, post opinions with a lot of passion and I have no problem with it as I love healthy debate.

We are all free to post opinions about any topic of our choosing and likewise, we are allowed to critique such opinions respectfully. I don't do anything different than anyone else, at least I don't think so. I love your posts as well so keep them coming, mate.
