Robertson lauded the stand-in goalkeeper's character and spoke highly of a player who was making both his Reds debut and his first top-flight appearance since featuring for Newcastle back in September 2021."Look, I take the mickey out of him a lot, and we always have a laugh and a joke, but he is a credit to himself," Robertson told LFCTV."Since he has come in, he has been unbelievable, whether that's Mo Salah wanting to stay out and do penalties after training, Woody is one there doing that with him. But when he walked back in the changing room there, I think he got a nice reception."He is a well-loved player; he has fitted in so well.

Forget about the personality, he has shown his composure, his quality on the ball; the little header and pass out to me was [a risk, laughs]."But like he says, we've got quality goalkeepers here, Ali [Alisson] is the best in the world, hopefully he is back soon, hopefully Giorgi is back soon too. But if these two are out [injured], we all fully believe he is one to step up, and he showed that today."Robertson, who will depart Liverpool after nine years this summer, added: "Look, I've loved the Merseyside derby, I have done over these nine years.

I have been here long enough, I know how Merseyside derbies work and when you have momentum, sometimes you get punished, which I think is what we did."We took a little bit of time recover and then we just keep going and keep going and that is what we did. It was great to see the away end how they reacted."Look, Rio [Ngumoha] had a great chance, he might feel he could have done better, but we were knocking at the door a little bit and when you get a set-piece, you always believe when you have Virgil and Ibou [Konate] in the team, you always believe they can be on the end of it.
