Such brilliance to keep the ball in play and get it into Mane's path for the 4th

Not sure if it’s to be found anywhere on the site but does anyone have conclusive footage of Andy handballing before the Sadio goal?

I think he was like most of the players last night, below their best. Don’t think it’s a fatigue thing, possible he’s had the bug a few have had?

Plus I think Leicester set up so as not to allow him space/opportunity to get forward

I actually think it is fatigue - be it mentally or physical. He has been off the boil recently and his rash challenges are on the up. It is unlike him and it worries me coming to the business end of the season as we have no adequate replacement at his level. I think he is one player whose time hasn't been managed well. I thought he was too conservative going forward.  Not his usual self.

The conditions didn't suit him, if he played his normal game he would have broken a limb. He's close but he's not Superman.

No fatigue, no tiredness and it's forecast to be relatively mild in London on Monday night when normal service will be resumed.

Loved that moment when he beat about three or four players before releasing Mane who was fouled. Did he get the assist for Mane's goal as well or was it touched before it reached him?

One rash tackle doesn't make him a bad player, we should have defended the free-kick better.

Yeah, to be fair that's a pretty ridiculous comment. If his performances are going to suffer, the fact that he's a new dad doesn't make it better for our title push.

That challenge would have broken the internet if Moreno had done it. Needs to be a one-off.

We've normally done well coping with the 2nd ball, our offside traps have worked to perfection, yesterday things just didn't click so well for us.

The "rash" is one of those things. It happens. Moreno doesn't come into this equation save for the fact he should have been given more game time (in terms of stealing minutes from Robertson as opposed to a starter) as Robertson"s consistency has gone off the boil. He can do great things in a game and is also now prone to " mistakes / being caught out etc"  where previously you just couldn't find it in his game. He was consistently very good. Being a new Dad may be a factor but it simply doesn't detract from his performance which lately hasn't been of his usual high standard. Where previously he was solid as hell - now there is doubt. Unfortunately- there is a big drop whoever deputizes.

I actually thought he was one of our better players, just unfortunate he conceded an untypical rash challenge in a dangerous area.

I am different here. I can live with and excuse the "rash" challenge. Fouls are conceded at any time. As a team we simply didn't defend the 2nd / 3rd ball. I felt that his all round game going forward was not great. Should have offered more. Too often he took the easy option to recycle the ball by checking back when he may have looked to take his opponent on. Only much later he began the overlapping run - too little to late. Granted-there were times when he wasn't fed and a through ball was on. We simply needed more urgency from the entire time.


 
For one, dont keep crying and keep him awake through the night.

Perhaps if you had fed him a warm milk bottle, he would have sleep right through the night despite my tears.

He's sublime, i'm really shocked at that challenge as its not like him at all, he rarely dives in and tends to stand his man up only comitting when he has a good chance of coming out with the ball at his feet, was odd to see him do the opposite when he had help as well

It was weird as it really looked like he (and I know I did at home) had a really bad feeling from the resulting free kick.

Robertson has looked tired at times this season but hopefully the schedule opens up enough now that he can play every game (lets say 18 more games in 3.5 months including Europe). If he can't, what is the plan B? Milner?

I think Robbo is very good at what he does but has limitations. He is very one footed and as a result plays the ball back in to midfield far too often. He is far better when we have a progressive right back and most of the play goes down the right flank. When the left flank is expected to make the play like the the other night he struggles a bit. He isn't going to take his opposite full back on and his dependence on his left peg and his preference to play the ball back infield means his stance is too closed to play the ball down the line.

We prefer to suck teams across to the left and then look for the long switch out to Trent which suits Robbo perfectly but without Trent on the right we struggle to get width.

He does seem a bit one-footed I agree. There again lefties always do to us right-footers and, by extension, we often overlook how one-footed our lot are). But Robertson is not confined to going on the outside. Such is his pace and ball control that he can - and often does - come inside his man and then drive through the middle. Last week this resulted in Robertson taking out a couple of Leicester players and slipping through Mane who was promptly hacked down by the last defender. It's by no means the first time that Robertson has been shown inside and spectacularly exploited the space.

Probably the last time we won the league?

I always thought John Arne was a decent LB. he scored a decent amount of goals for his position.

Actually, we're all forgetting the recent past.... what about our very own Scouse Cafu? Still remember his goal at WHL with fondness.
He was definitely an integral part of our title push in 2013/14.
I read that after a particularly solid performance in the derby, Stevie said that he was applauded into the dressing room!
Sad to see that he was never the same after his long injury lay-off.

And Carra was fairly decent and reliable at LB.
