Slot added: "Not only the yellow card but also afterwards he played the ball no foul at all, but the referee blew his whistle which can always happen.

“Then it’s a risk.

You try to help them as much as you can but you want to put pressure on them and you want to play games."

Robertson continued: "He will be the starting left-back for Liverpool in the future and it's up to me to push him this season and help him improve.

He has a fantastic future ahead of him and he just needs to keep working hard and not let today affect him, which it won't as he's a confident lad.

"I'll help him as much as I can but I do want to play games and be the starting left-back and I have got to keep pushing to try to produce the levels I know I can do as well."

Kerkez made his move to Liverpool from Bournemouth in a deal worth £40million this summer.

"He has transitioned well, there's a lot of information and a lot of different ways of playing and he just needs to keep going and keep his confidence.

"We'll try to help him and others throughout the season and I have no doubt in the future he will be a fantastic left-back for Liverpool and that's the main thing."
