Andy Robertson received’t be the one Liverpool participant in want of a protracted, onerous look within the mirror after Fulham humbled their opponents on Saturday.
Nonetheless, the Scotland worldwide performed a starring position 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 straight contributing to Alex Iwobi’s lead-establishing objective.
Robertson (on a reported £160k-a-week, in response to Capology) inexplicably performed a lofted ball throughout the pitch in Liverpool’s third, regardless of heavy Fulham visitors.

Jamie Carragher couldn’t imagine Andy Robertson error
Jamie Carragher was, fairly understandably, nearly perplexed to clarify the Scot’s error.
“What a large number! It’s such a poor cross from a participant of Robertson’s high quality,” the previous Crimson instructed Sky Sports activities.
“He then doesn’t make the header and it hits him on the best way in.”
Even taking into account the previous Hull Metropolis defender’s blended type this time period, we’re struggling to grasp what was going by way of his thoughts inviting hazard with such a cross.
We do agree with Arne Slot that this was certainly one of a number of ‘one-off’ errors that we’re unlikely (we hope) to see once more anytime quickly.
To place it merely, we are able to’t afford a repeat of this come West Ham’s journey to Anfield subsequent Sunday – and we don’t anticipate it.
Liverpool must look to the longer term
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 during 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 wanting towards the longer term.
To be completely clear, we don’t need our No.26 going wherever 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.
In the end, nevertheless, the proof of the 2024/25 season makes clear we have to severely take into account some ruthless selections in the summertime to construct on a probable Premier League title-winning marketing campaign.
Sadly, which will very effectively imply a number of fan-favourites can pay the worth within the title of progress.
