One of the top 5 LBs in the world ...
He *is* the best LB in the world.
I'm trying to be humble bruv
I cant see him ever leaving. You just get that feeling with him
Fingers crossed
He's fucking mustard! I love the wee lad. What a signing he's been. Completely under the radar but quickly established as being essential to the cause.
Great! he’s really [insert platitude] and [insert footballing cliche] and in his time with us he’s [insert redundant truism].
hahahaha!
this...THIS!
He’s been outstanding, hopefully his forms continues.
Haha! I remember that. It was insanely cool. I think someone (maybe Lovren) had a cheeky tongue in cheek dig about it in a post match interview.
He's my favourite player for sure.boss news
Love him. Top player, top lad. He's the best LB we've had since Nicol played there. This is terrific news. Up the Reds!
...Ziege should get an honourary mention. If it weren't for the knee injury ...
Jürgen Klopp detailed his delight at the news Andy Robertson has signed a new long-term contract with Liverpool, explaining how negotiations were concluded in 'almost record time' such was his eagerness to commit his future to the club.
The full-back put pen to paper on the deal at Melwood on Thursday having firmly established himself as a regular in the manager’s starting line-ups since his transfer from Hull City in July 2017.
“I think of all the contract renewals I have been involved with, this one was done in almost record time,” Klopp told Liverpoolfc.com. “It’s fair to say Robbo didn’t hesitate for even a second when we spoke about extending his stay at our club for longer.
“I remember when we signed him back in the summer of 2017, I spoke a lot about ‘his story, his journey’ and how much I loved it and thought it pointed to the type of person and player he would be for us. He has exceeded these expectations.
“He might be from Glasgow originally, but everything about him screams Liverpool.
“It has been fantastic to see him grow, develop and improve. It was not the easiest of starts for him maybe, because we are blessed with another fantastic left-back in Alberto Moreno. He had to be patient - he had to be ready when his chance came and his progression since is an example to any player joining us.
“Everyone knows about his personality, on and off the pitch, but maybe we are guilty at times of overlooking his quality. Ask those who play against him - be it matchday or training - and they speak about his technical and tactical qualities, just as much as his character and heart.
“Our supporters have fallen in love with him, he has fallen in love with them - and both he and his amazing young family are very much at home in Liverpool.
“It’s fantastic this will now be their home for even longer.”

That HAS to be toungue in cheek about Moreno!
Im concerned that Klopp still thinks Moreno is worth having around and Clyne isnt
Stevie Nicol is my all time favourite, and, while he could play anywhere and did fill in at left back on occasion, he was predominantly a right back, with the likes of Jim Beglin, Garry Abblett and David Burrows on the opposite side from him
When you go this long without a title ... you start to believe such things .. sadly mine was shattered by the purchace and subsequent displays by Charlie Adam
When you reflect on the fact that Nicol was fuelled almost entirely by crisps and ale, it makes his prodigious physical powers even more remarkable. Alec Lindsay is the first LB of ours I remember, and he was under-appreciated outside the city but he was very solid, accurate and quietly effective; Keegan loved him because of the excellent service he provided down the left. Robbo just has a 70s/80s vibe about him - he's one of the few players of today you could imagine bombing up and down on those potato patch pitches, then getting into his second-hand Ford Escort and going home to his bedsit.
I've thought that a few times. Seems of a different age. ie normal, nice and funny. And boss.
Robbo lives in Formby, like all the best wools
