"Robinson expressed his dismay at Slot's decision to abandon Liverpool's traditional attacking identity in favor of a conservative back five. He said: 'That was our champions against their champions. Our champions were nowhere near.'"
"Robinson argued that the tactical shift played directly into PSG's hands. 'It is not playing to Liverpool's strengths and it is defending their weaknesses.'"
"By packing the defense, he invited pressure instead of forcing PSG's wingers to track back. The irony of the setup was not lost on observers."
"At the Parc des Princes, Liverpool failed to register a single shot on target and looked every bit the parked bus Slot once claimed to avoid."

Robinson emphasized that this approach played into PSG's strengths rather than leveraging Liverpool's capabilities, raising questions about Slot's future as manager.
