Post-match, Robertson expressed Liverpool's disappointment over the decision by saying: "I think initially they were looking at whether I was in the eyesight of the goalkeeper."I think everyone can rule that out. But it's clear that I'm not in the eyesight of the goalkeeper, but I think then they kind of change that a little bit and say that obviously the fact that I ducked, but in my opinion, that makes me smaller, so it makes it easier for the goalkeeper to see the ball and I don't think [Donnarumma] gets it regardless, in my opinion.READ MORE: Virgil van Dijk insists Liverpool were robbed as he slams match officials and VARREAD MORE: Premier League referee at centre of VAR nightmare for THIRD TIME after Virgil van Dijk decision"I don't think anyone will disagree with that but the referee gives it, obviously the linesman gives it offside and then obviously it goes to VAR and you think it's going to be a perfectly good goal and then they obviously show it on the big screen which makes us all hugely frustrated.



I thought they played really well, which sometimes you have to say and I don't think we were quite at the levels we've shown in the last two games.Should Virgil van Dijk's goal have been allowed? And, yeah, I don't agree with the excuse they've given but then you move on and then we concede a deflected goal which is just so frustrating."Then in the second half, I thought we battled hard and maybe could have got a goal with the balls flashing across the face, but we weren't quite at the levels today and I thought they played a really, really good game.

It's hard to answer because we're hugely disappointed to get beat 3-0 by City, but I think City playing the way they did today beat everyone in the league."In my opinion, if they play like that and the way that they did, they beat everyone in the league. We were making strides; we put two really good performances in and I think in parts today we played okay."It's important that now we go on an international break, we come back and then hopefully kick on because we need consistency.
