Andy Robertson gives frank view on Liverpool future as 'every left-back in world' linked
Liverpool defender Andy Robertson is confident he has more in the tank to give Liverpool despite speculation surrounding his future
Andy Robertson is confident his time at Liverpool is not yet up despite the Merseyside club being linked with "pretty much every left-back in the world". The 31-year-old signed for the Reds from Hull in 2017 but there have been reports that Liverpool are looking for a replacement.
The Scotland captain, in Athens for the Nations League play-off against Greece on Thursday night, addressed the speculation, saying. "I think we've been linked with pretty much every left-back in the world. That comes with playing with one of the greatest clubs in the world. I look back on these eight years I've had as the starting left-back at that club and I feel a lot of pride.
"Your time comes and I don't think it's my time yet but even if we do bring someone in, then so be it. I'll always back myself. Sure, this season there have been a couple of moments when I haven't covered myself in glory but some things have been taken way out of proportion.
"I think the performance levels have been there for me. I think I've had a relatively good season but one thing people will say about me is that's I've been pretty consistent, so when you make a couple of mistakes, then people can talk.
"That's the world we live in, that's the Premier League. Everyone has eyes on you, everyone has an opinion. It is what it is but I'm always confident in my ability. I've shown that right throughout my career but especially during my time at Liverpool."
Robertson admits that meeting up with his Scotland team-mates has helped him get over the Carabao Cup final disappointment where Liverpool lost to Newcastle at Wembley, days after being knocked out of the Champions League by Paris St Germain.
Robertson said: "It's part and parcel of football. It probably wasn't one of our best weeks in football, though thankfully we've had plenty of good weeks this season.
"For many reasons, last week wasn't meant to be. But it's always great to meet up with the Scotland lads, always an honour, always good to see fresh faces and take a break from a really intense time at Liverpool.
"It's been nice, it's made it easier to get over the disappointment."
