"Obviously, we've given ourselves a huge uphill battle, but I don't think any of the teams will really look at the league table until we're halfway through. That's what we've got to do but we've got to pick up points on a more consistent basis. Then let's see where we are after Christmas time or whatever. We've just got to focus on ourselves and focus on performance levels."
"We think it's an OK goal. I can't really comment on it; I think we'll let other people do that. But for me, it looks as if I duck out the way I don't think the keeper is in any eyeline to me. That's the rules we got told at the start of the season, so it was a little bit of a difficult one."
Liverpool lost 3-0 at Manchester City and now sit eighth in the Premier League after 11 matches, eight points behind leaders Arsenal. The result was the fifth in six league matches, creating a significant uphill battle to defend the title. Robertson said the team must focus on consistent points and performance levels and suggested teams will not look at the table until midseason. A Virgil van Dijk header was ruled out after Robertson was deemed to have interfered while standing in an offside position; Robertson said he appears to have ducked away and that the decision was difficult.
