Andy Robertson has praised Liverpool’s fans for how much they spurred the Reds’ first-team squad on in their Champions League win against Real Madrid. However, now that Slot is slowly piecing together his best starting XI, things should start to fall into place.Photo by Liverpool FC/Liverpool FC via Getty ImagesAnd, even though Liverpool’s first-team squad were the ones who deserved praise, Robertson chose to take time after the game and thank fans for their support.
Andy Robertson lauds Liverpool’s fans for the ‘outstanding’ noise that they made against Real MadridAnfield is a fortress for Liverpool, especially when their fans are in good form.Several professional players, such as Wojciech Szczesny, have said that Anfield is the best stadium they’ve ever played in, with the atmosphere being second-to-none. And, when the players are in need of a boost, they can always rely on the crowd to give them one, with Robertson admitting that he and Florian Wirtz were left in awe of the noise that was emerging from the stadium.“They [the crowd] made an outstanding noise,” Robertson said to This is Anfield.“I think just think after we scored, I think maybe Florian was down on the ground and the noise they made, I think the lads were just kind of, looking around and thought ‘yeah this is what we’re playing in, these are the games you want to be a part of.’“That’s what these fans can do and that’s what this club can do, so there was a real special atmosphere tonight and we’re going to need that all throughout the season.”Liverpool will need every ounce of support possible from their travelling fans on SundayAlthough Liverpool have only just beaten two tough opponents in Aston Villa and Real Madrid, this Sunday, they’re straight back into it.
Fortunately for Slot and his men, they delivered, and they even managed to do so against Real.Sunday’s game is against Manchester City, who have been notoriously hard for the Reds to break down in the past.
