Use the comment button on the bottom left to have your say Liverpool need Andy Robertson’s leadershipAlthough Liverpool could also do with having him around as he is still a more than capable footballer, his leadership is one thing that is not easy to replace.He is one of the captains without the armband and leads by example, with his personality also a big thing that is needed in the dressing room.Liverpool’s summer overhaul shows how tricky it can be losing a lot of big players in one go, and with the Reds still navigating a bit of a transition period, someone like Robertson is essential to have around.If he does move on, which seems inevitable, he will always go down as a bit of a club legend, but it might just be a transfer that Liverpool come to regret early into next season.
