Andy Robertson made it clear what he thought about Liverpool’s loss to Aston Villa on Friday night. Image Credits: Imago ImagesAs Andy Robertson’s final game in a Liverpool shirt edges ever closer, he could only watch on from the substitutes bench as Liverpool fell apart at Villa Park on Friday night.The left-back has seen significantly less playing time this season, as the arrival of Milos Kerkez last summer effectively opened the exit door for the Scotsman.Despite nine hugely successful years spent on Merseyside, Arne Slot clearly views Milos Kerkez as the future in that position of the pitch and as a result Andy Robertson will depart Liverpool this summer upon the expiry of his contract.Inconsistency has plagued Liverpool’s season and that was evident in Friday night’s defeat.A win would’ve secured Champions League football for Liverpool next season, but they failed to capitalise on that opportunity.That decision will now fall on the final day of the Premier League season with Liverpool having to beat Brentford at Anfield to secure their place in the Champions League next season.There was less riding on the game for Aston Villa, with their focus on the upcoming Europa League Final.For Liverpool, it was a must-win, a chance to raise morale before the final game of the season in which they would bid farewell to two legends of the club in Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson.But the fight wasn’t there.
Liverpool were outfought and outplayed by an Aston Villa side experiencing yet another successful campaign under Unai Emery.Despite Andy Robertson being an unused substitute yesterday, he posted an honest review on the game via his Instagram.The caption reads: “A performance which sums up our season. A long way short of the levels of this club and what you rightly expect of us.
But I can only thank you for the last nine years of travelling up and down the country and all over the world packing out away ends wherever we go! Will see you next week for one last time.”Andy Robertson made it clear what he thought about Liverpool’s 4-2 loss away at Aston Villa and it highlights the disappointment the players feel in mounting such a weak title defence.That was Liverpool’s 20th defeat in all competitions this season, with the Reds having no answers for their opponents on far too many occasions.Andy Robertson’s message reflects his strong character, and they will dearly miss his presence in the dressing room when he departs this summer.
