Liverpool’s frustrating run of form continued on Saturday with a second consecutive draw in the Premier League, as they were once again held to a stalemate and reduced to 10 players. Reds legend Jamie Carragher, who knows a thing or two about defending, has pointed out that left-back Andy Robertson may need some extra support in order to help the team tighten up at the back.
Robertson, who is known for his attacking prowess as well as his defensive capabilities, has been a key player for Liverpool in recent seasons. However, with the team struggling to keep clean sheets and leaking goals in recent matches, Carragher believes that the Scottish international could benefit from having additional support from his teammates.
The former Liverpool defender highlighted the importance of having a solid defensive foundation in order to be successful in the Premier League, and suggested that Robertson may be getting overwhelmed due to the team’s current defensive issues.
With Liverpool’s title hopes fading fast and the team facing an uphill battle to secure a top-four finish, Carragher’s words may carry some weight within the club as they look to turn their season around. It remains to be seen if manager Jurgen Klopp will take heed of the former defender’s advice and make the necessary adjustments to shore up the team’s defense.
