Robertson back in form as Liverpool climb again

Michael Owen has wondered if Liverpool really needed Milos Kerkez, with Andy Robertson sparkling in back-to-back wins over Aston Villa and Real Madrid. Arne Slot’s side look steadier, and Robertson’s revival is so bright it could probably power the Anfield floodlights on its own.

Kerkez, 21, started the first nine league games but now finds himself on the bench. Owen insists the Scot was written off too soon, while Robertson calls for consistency as Liverpool head to Manchester City this Sunday.
