Henry Winter Praises Andy Robertson After Liverpool’s Win
Liverpool dominated Real Madrid with an impressive performance at Anfield on Tuesday night. Henry Winter highlighted Andy Robertson's role following Liverpool’s 1-0 victory in the Champions League, saying the Scotland international “can’t be left out” of manager Arne Slot’s starting lineup after his strong display.
Robertson’s Impact on the Game
The Reds secured their third win in the European campaign thanks to Alexis Mac Allister’s second-half goal. While Dominik Szoboszlai received acclaim for his midfield performance, Robertson also stood out by effectively containing Arda Guler on the left side and showing composure in his fourth start in five games for Liverpool.
Winter’s Commentary on Robertson
“Robertson brings intensity, belief and defensive nous to Slot’s side,” Winter wrote on X.
Winter emphasized that Robertson should remain the first-choice left-back, ahead of Milos Kerkez, who was signed for £40 million from Bournemouth in the summer and was substituted on late in the match.
Overall Defensive Display
Alongside Conor Bradley on the opposite flank, Robertson had a solid game, completing 24 of 29 passes, making one key pass, and winning four out of six duels.
