Liverpool suffered another setback after losing to Brentford over the weekend. The team, which began the season with a string of victories, has now lost five of its last six matches and appears uncertain both in defense and attack.
Scottish defender Andy Robertson stated after the match that the squad must work much harder to recover from its current slump. He emphasized the need to increase intensity not only in matches but also in training and to manage recovery more effectively. He also highlighted the support of fans who travel across England with the team and deserve better results.
Robertson pointed out that the only way forward is through greater effort and discipline. He noted that recent performances have not reflected the quality of the squad and that players must recognize their own responsibility for the situation.
In his assessment of the match, Robertson was critical of the team’s performance. He observed that Liverpool did not work hard enough off the ball and allowed the opponent too much space for simple actions. The players struggled with long throw-ins and set pieces from the home side. Ball losses near their own goal enabled Brentford to apply pressure, and the visitors failed to find their rhythm.
The defender admitted frustration that the team could not take control of the game despite having more possession. He underlined the need to fight for every ball and not assume that the opponent would yield space simply because they play for Liverpool. He stressed that the team must rediscover its character, determination, and consistency throughout the full ninety minutes.
Liverpool now faces a demanding schedule without extended breaks. Robertson believes that the quick succession of matches could offer an opportunity for immediate improvement. However, for that to happen, the team must demonstrate greater unity and quality in decisive moments.
