Liverpool were beaten 3-2 by Fulham away from home in the Premier League, and Andy Robertson put on a disappointing display for the away side.
Liverpool are still very much the favourites to win the league title this season, and they were expected to do a lot better.
After taking the lead in the game, thanks to a stunning long-range effort from Alexis Mac Allister, Liverpool were expected to dominate the contest, but they were completely outplayed by the home side. Fulham did well to bounce back from the early deficit and scored three goals in the first half.
Liverpool struggled to contain Fulham in all departments of play, and the home side emerged as the deserved winners.
The defeat to Fulham has further outlined Liverpool’s need for a quality left-back in the summer. Andy Robertson has been on the decline for the last year, and the Scottish international has been quite mediocre this season. It was his poor pass that allowed Fulham to score the second goal of the game.
The Liverpool defender lost the ball with a terrible square pass to Curtis Jones, and then Alex Iwobi’s shot took a big deflection off Robertson on its way into the back of the net.

Andy Robertson needs replacing
Robertson has been an exceptional servant for Liverpool since joining the club from Hull City, but he is clearly not the player he used to be. His defending has been quite mediocre in recent months, and he has regressed in terms of his strengths as well.
The £160k-a-week Scottish defender is yet to pick up a single assist in the Premier League this season. Trent Alexander-Arnold and Robertson were undoubtedly the best creators in the league from the full-back positions, and the Scottish international is barely offering anything to his side now.
Liverpool must look to replace him in the summer if they are serious about challenging for major trophies.
Robinson has been a liability for a year now,he’s in a very sharp decline that all supporters and opposition teams can see.he needs to be nowhere near the first X1, it’s brutal but it’s a fact
The greatest attacking left back in prem history is nearing the end of his journey. Let’s remember him as the flying Scotsman full of energy. They say cole is best left back ever, well stats tell you robbo destroys him going forward and cole was not the greatest at defending so I’ve always disagreed with that one. Probably coz he’s English. I’ll take prime robbo all day long. What a player!!!!!
Robbo great servant no doubt.The player that needs to be sold or even given away is that useless Curtis Jones.
Robbo and Konate are proving to be liabilities and something must be done
otherwise we don’t even want to imagine concludimg the season with nothing kn hand. A harsh reality if nothing is done. Defending should follow basics , its good to build from the back but also get the ball out of danger as soon as possible . No need of taking unnecessary risks.
I’m glad I’m not the only one doesn’t really rate Konate . His barely above average overall performance since joining coupled with his proneness to injuries are reasons why I don’t mind Liverpool selling him off quickly especially since the news of his stalling on signing a new contract offer. As for Robertson, it’s painfully clear that his best days are over.
liability for years. won’t mark a right winger. useless crosser of a ball . but 1st in photo with klopp
