Topic: Andy Robertson (Andrew Henry Robertson MBE)

[Qston]

I think he is so well liked because it is a hark back to the golden era for us. A player who wouldn`t have looked out of place in our side 30 or 40 years ago - and that is a massive compliment. An echo from history which is no bad thing.

A top player who I suspect will be with us for a long time.

[Ben87]

Same here, all great lads and likable characters!

It looks an absolute joy to be part of that team. As you said, all seem great lads and they always seem to have a smile on their faces

[WhereAngelsPlay]

You know, one day I hope he is.

No not for me,I want to see Trent made captain in the next few seasons.

[nico 8]

Any one of about 9 of that starting line-up Saturday I think could be my favourite. It's been a long time since there isn't just one obvious choice

It begs the question- which two isn't one of your favourite and why?

[Shaved Crossbar]

Virg is ahead of him in the queue

I agree but TAA should be handed it as soon as Klopp feels that he is ready.

[Ben87]

Haha! Gomez hasn’t done enough for the favourite category yet, although I do like him a lot and would like him to get a decent chance at centre half. Gini is also a bit hot and cold for me, although he was great Saturday. I do really rate him though and feel a bit mean typing this

[mattD]

My favourite Liverpool player.

[plura]

I wonder how many assists this guy can produce this season? With his runs and our attack I'm hoping he could reach the 8-10 range.

[Floop]

He got 5 assists in 22 matches last season, so that should be the range he's aiming for.

Seems to me that you like any one  and all that wears a red shirt on the day. Nothing wrong - all good  save that the word " favourite" is not the correct word in the present context. Agree with Gomez (still young). On Gini - ranks in my top 3 if I ever had to get a shirt with a printed name.

I was thinking of it in terms of who I would consider getting on the back of a shirt if I was going to do that...and I would genuinely consider any of those 9. So yeah true, favourite isn't quite the correct term.

[L8Craig]

Would Robertson be considered more a talent if he was Brazilian or French?
I don't see many opposition fans giving him applause when he is just a solid LB.

[deFacto please, you bastards]

Set to sign a new 5 year deal with an increase in wages. from the mirror

Doesn’t surprise me at all, and well deserved.

[TepidT2O]

Doubling wages to 60k a week

[BarryCrocker]

Doubling wages to 60k a week

And still a bargain at that price.

[kesey]

He's old school and it's nice to have a Jock accent at Liverpool.

[Djozer]

And still a bargain at that price.

Aye. Considering some of the wages players are being paid these days that's almost insanely low for a player of his quality actually. Great news. Well in, Robbo.

[WhereAngelsPlay]

Doubling wages to 60k a week

And if he keeps going the way he is they'll double again in a couple of years.

I love the lad,he's so down to earth,gets on with all the lads & seems to have his head screwed on.

We can say that about them all atm,we're blessed with a manager who has been given the tools that could see him become one of our best ever.Wrong thread like but Klopp was made for our club.

[G Richards]

Well done Robbo. Fully deserves the new deal. He’s a good player. Good defensively, makes good decisions, decent turn of pace, and nice crossing/passing, which will see him rack up a steady total of assists. Keep it going!

[joekim87]

He is exactly the player I thought Flannagan or Jack Robinson would turn into years ago. Hopefully he has a fantastic 10 years at the club!

[harleydanger]

Worth the wages just to tick the must have a Scotsman in the team to win the league superstition.

[JC the Messiah]

I know it's only after one proper game, but him and Keita seem to be working well together and building up an understanding.

I thought he and Coutinho linked up well together, but the Keita/Robertson partnership looks very exciting. The first goal against West Ham being a case in point.

[Doc Red]

He's old school and it's nice to have a Jock accent at Liverpool.

I'll admit it, I wanted him to do well, and was probably biased towards him, because he was Scottish.
Fortunately,  he's shown enough quality and potential that I needn't worry.
We all know the secret to our titles success in yesteryears was having a Scotsman playing a significant role.

Worth the wages just to tick the must have a Scotsman in the team to win the league superstition.

Beat me to it!

[Ben87]

I know squad numbers don’t mean much anymore but would have liked the 3 shirt to have been given to him this season as well as the new contract. Nice statement like with mane

[So… Howard Philips]

He's old school and it's nice to have a Jock accent at Liverpool.

Have we ever won a trophy from 1960 to 1990 without a jock in the side?

[sms1986]

https://www.lfchistory.net/Stats/Article/2884 lists Scottish internationals (so presumably not all of our historical Scottish players) -

Liddell 46-60
Younger 56-59
St John 61-71
Dalglish 77-90
Hansen 77-90
Souness 78-84
Nicol 82-94
Wark 84-87
Hutchison 92-94
McAllister 00-02

So we didn't have a Scottish international in the team between 1972 and 1976 although we did have Shankly for two of those years. Looking at the Wikipedia pages for those seasons, the team shows Scottish players not listed above -

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1972%E2%80%9373_Liverpool_F.C._season - Won the League and UEFA Cup with three Scottish players.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1973%E2%80%9374_Liverpool_F.C._season - Won the FA Cup with two Scottish players.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1974%E2%80%9375_Liverpool_F.C._season - Didn't win anything in a very unusual season.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1975%E2%80%9376_Liverpool_F.C._season - Won the League and UEFA Cup with two Scottish players.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1976%E2%80%9377_Liverpool_F.C._season - Won the League and European Cup with one Scottish player.

No pressure, Andrew!

[Giono]

Na, he’s not English. He’ll end up at Barcelona.

Effin' bargain at half the price.

Gary Gillespie  83–91?

Gary Gillespie  83–91? 

Yeah, it seems to have missed out a few.

[DelTrotter]

Good news and well deserved if true. Though he should be sacking his agent if he's only getting 60k a week!

[Geormajesty]

Seems odd that only a Mirror journalist that I'd never heard of until last night is the only person with the story. I'm inclined to not believe it, as deserving as Robertson is.

He is due a rise so I'd believe it.

[Raid]

Echo suggesting no fresh talks on the table but his contract is heavily incentivised, probably similar to Bobby's before the extension.

I'd expect fresh five year terms next summer if he carries on like this, fantastic player.

Why are you sad that we're not going to be paying more money to a player on a lengthy contract?

If he continues playing the way he is (which I think we all believe he will) then he'll be rewarded by the club in due course.

[TepidT2O]

How does that story come out and be so wrong?  Odd...

I didn't think it was untoward that he would be rewarded now given his performance last year and the story last night made me happy for him, as it did others here it seems. The emoji was just an expression of a let down that the story last night was so far off base.
