"Liverpool manager Arne Slot has been told he needs to put Andrew Robertson back into his starting line up after the strong performance the left-back put in last night. The Scotland international has found himself down in Slot's pecking order so far this season, with Milos Kerkez generally preferred in the starting line up since his summer transfer from Bournemouth. However, there's no escaping the fact that Kerkez has been a little disappointing so far in his time at Liverpool, and it's clear that Robertson still has plenty to offer. Even if he's no longer at his peak, Robertson performed well last night, particularly with a superb assist for Hugo Ekitike's goal in the 5-1 win away to Eintracht Frankfurt."
"That was Andy Robertson's first Liverpool start for a month and he made a big difference. Pass of the night to create the equaliser for Hugo Ekitike. Left side looked so much better. Has to be in the line up at Brentford on Saturday, Pearce posted on X. The 31-year-old has certainly done his chances no harm, and it perhaps makes it look a bit strange that he was ever dropped in favour of Kerkez in the first place."
Andrew Robertson returned to the Liverpool starting lineup after a month and produced a key assist for Hugo Ekitike in a 5-1 win away to Eintracht Frankfurt. Milos Kerkez has generally been preferred since his summer transfer from Bournemouth but has underwhelmed so far. Robertson, aged 31, remains effective down the left and improved Liverpool's left side during his start. The left-back's performance strengthens the case for selection against Brentford. Other summer signings have been mixed: Florian Wirtz has made a slow start despite two assists in the match, while Jeremie Frimpong has been below his best at right-back.
