Last season, one of Liverpool’s main problem areas was their left-back. However, since the Hungarian has joined, he’s played well below his usual standards, which has meant that Robertson has been given a decent amount of playing time.



Indeed, Slot’s system isn’t exactly playing to Kerkez’s strengths at the moment, but even with this in mind, it still feels like a lot more should be coming from him. In fact, former Manchester United ace Scholes has even said that he expects Robertson, who joined the club for £8million, to get a lot of game time this season.

“I mean, Andy Robertson, everyone thought he needed replacing and looking at it, did he really?” he said on The Overlap’s Fan Debate.“I think he will play a lot more football than he would have been expecting from what we’ve seen.”Andy Robertson still has a lot to give LiverpoolAlthough it’s clear that Robertson isn’t as fast as he used to be, his range of passing is still second to none.His football brain is also prominent, with the defender often making the right decisions on the pitch, even when under pressure. As mentioned, Slot’s system benefits Robertson more than Kerkez, which is likely another reason why he’s performed better this term, but, since the Hungarian is only 21 years old, there’s still plenty of time for him to grow.
