Bit harsh with the stupid remarks ? Heat of the moment, pumping at the result, its easy to do something rash especially when he's never been there before.
Best left back anywhere, made a mistake. That's all. I won't dent our confidence of who's up next one wee bit

It wasn’t that long ago  our left back was being called brain dead or stupid for another missed tackle, another penalty conceded, tackling with the back of his foot or getting caught 10 yards out of position.

I can kinda forgive Robertson for getting a yellow card that means he misses a Champions League quarter final or the odd loss of cencentration.

Silly from him at the end, shows how important he is to us that it's such a blow to lose him for the first leg.

Milner at LB for 1 game. Not ideal, not the end of the world.
I don't know mate, Milner was pretty darn poor in his couple of recent games as RB.

I'd play Moreno, obviously I rate him more than most on here. Wouldn't want to put him in cold though, he needs minutes in the league first which could be tricky

I'll be hoping for an away leg first so at least the replacement left-back, who will most likely be Milner, won't be asked to do too much going forwards. Having him back for the home leg would be great.

Gotta love his elite mentality at times. We beat Bayern away to go through and Robbo's still cursing his booking haha! Big Virge asked him "What the fuck you doing?" when he was walking away from our fans with a face like a slapped arse.

Love this lad. Gnabry seems to be his Kryptonite but he doesn't have to worry about him anymore!

Pretty brain-dead decision by him, 92nd minute, up by two goals totally needless.

Depending on who we are up against, we'll see how stupid this mistake was from him. I love the lad but poor poor decision by him

Had a poor game by his standards overall I think. Milner actually played at LB more than he did in the 2nd half anyway. I think Milner will come in for the next match.

Look at the positive:
He gets a rest, fresher for the league.

Meanwhile, we may instead end up with Lallana or Keita or Shakiri in the centre when Milner is moved to left back... which may bring a totally different dimension to our play.

Another reason we shouldn't have loaned Clyne, who can cover at LB and I'd think everyone would agree is a better option to both Moreno and Milner at LB.

Perhaps.
He did what he's been taught to do, they will not pass.
We've cried out for that for years, decades.
Doesn't matter what the score is, attitude isn't something you switch on and off.
He was tired maybe, caught out finally, we're winning. You really want him to let the guy go. He made the decision. That's what we want our players to do. And he stopped a run on our goal. That's what we want our players to do. Always.
It is a machine. It is more stupid than we are. It will not stop us from doing stupid things.

Not Klopp apparently, who cares what he thinks though.

Robinson played well, and there´s always the risk of mistiming a tackle and getting a yellow no matter if the game ´s won or not.

Against dross maybe. But in a quarter final of the CL we are going to need legs. And an attacking leftback.

Imagine if Milner had played last night at leftback. Hell, Robbo was having trouble.

No. Not everyone wpuld agree. He is a blunt instrument in attack on the right. That's why Klopp let him go. On the left he'd be even worse.

When gave ypu seen him play well on the left? Pallace?

Klopp will pick who he wants and i'm cool with that. But I hope it is Moreno and that he announces it early so everybody gets a chance to soil their boxers in a panic. :)

Unpopular opinion but Robbo's felt a bit burned out since the turn of the year. He's not nearly at his best and some of that just has to be the number of games he's played. His work rate is still top notch but his actual output hasn't quite hit the mark for a while. I wish we'd had the luxury to give him a breather once in a while and even though the Champions League QF is probably an awful time for that, it might just be helpful for the lad.

Agreed, and maybe it is his work rate that has caused this little dip in his high standards. He just puts 110% to everything he does, goes at full throttle no matter who he's playing against. Too bad we don't seem to have any decent back-up to him against the "lesser" teams of the world. Or PL, rather.

Klopp doesn't seem to give players a rest against "lesser" clubs. Hell, Gini is playing injured and starts every match.

We do play Fulham next. If there is a club that could be characterised as "lesser" it would be them. Let's see.

Moreno is not match fit / sharp and I would be surprised if he is considered. On the bench at best. Gomez will need time to get back up to speed. You can cite Matip as an example of a player whose performances get better week by week merely because he is getting game time. I think it is likely to be Milner who steps in.

Agree, thought his positioning was questionable a few times with the ball over his head especially with their goal and the only dangerous situation they had in the second half.

Would be very surprising, Moreno is done here. Wouldn’t really want him in a big game (and they’re all big)

I guess he could replace Robertson by running a note to the referee to say we forfeit?
If he's being asked to head the ball too frequently - which isn't exactly his specialty - it could affect his ear and cause an infection. Especially if the ball hits him on the ear directly.
