"He had his team-mates' backs. What else comes to mind? Roughing up Lionel Messi, laughing at Jordan Pickford, running all over Manchester City, the wingmen' videos with Trent and judging biscuits with James Milner. I also think about Jose Mourinho saying: I am tired just from looking at Robertson. Absolutely incredible. Yep, he was. Robertson is the best left-back I've seen"
Andy Robertson’s 2017 signing from Hull City surprised many because attention centered on Harry Maguire. Despite that, the £8m fee proved exceptional value for Liverpool. His peak years under Jurgen Klopp featured constant attacking contributions alongside Trent Alexander-Arnold, producing frequent crosses and assists. A defining moment came at Villa Park in 2019 when Robertson drove the ball back to the centre circle for a last-gasp equaliser, showing urgency to restart despite Manchester City pressure. Liverpool then won late through Sadio Mane’s leap, preserving an unbeaten start and setting up a title showdown with City. Robertson’s character also appeared in his backing of teammates and his physical, mischievous edge against top opponents, earning praise from figures including Jose Mourinho.
