Robertson dismisses idea of two-horse title race with City

Liverpool left-back Andy Robertson doesn’t think his side are in a two-horse race with Manchester City for the Premier League title, but feels they can compete with anyone this season nevertheless.

The Reds are third in the table on goal difference after a tough 0-0 draw with City yesterday, leaving them both level on points with Chelsea at the top.

Robertson, who has continued his fine form from last season, expects Liverpool to remain contenders for the title throughout the new campaign.

“We feel we can compete with any team but people seem to be just dismissing other teams and making it a two-horse race, which is not the case,” Robertson said.

“We played Chelsea last week, who were excellent. They have been on a great run. You see teams like Arsenal, with a new manager, putting great results together.

“So there is a long way to go and there will be a lot of teams competing but we hope we are one of them.”

Robertson was realistic about Liverpool’s performance against City.

“We started well. We were all disappointed with Wednesday as a 90 minutes as a whole, so we wanted to get off to a fast start,” the Scotland captain explained.

“They struggled to get a foothold in the first half. They probably controlled it a bit more in the second half and had a bit more composure when we were rushing it.

“There was nothing really in the game – it was two really good teams going at it. Unfortunately, the deadlock wasn’t broken.

“But for us it’s another important point, especially going into the international break with a long break until the next game.”
