Andy Robertson: “We’re going for a title, we’re going for trophies”

Andy Robertson has called on Liverpool players and fans to enjoy the title race rather than feel burdened by the pressure of it.

The Reds trail Manchester City by one point despite having a seven-point advantage just a few weeks ago, and many pundits are claiming that the strain of pushing for the title has taken its toll on the team.

Robertson, however, thinks Liverpool should be making the most of what’s been a remarkable season so far.

“Talk about pressure and ‘bottling’… Relegation, that’s pressure,” Robertson said, as quoted by Goal.

“I’ve said it in interviews before, people lose their job, players lose half their wages, managers get sacked more often than not. That’s not what this is. We’re going for a title, we’re going for trophies, it’s something we should enjoy, it shouldn’t be something that we fear.

“You know how hard it is to win a Premier League. We’ve got nine games and we’ve put ourselves in a great position. Some people that are talking about it would pay a lot of money to put their team in the same position as us.

“If you said at the start of the season would we have took a point behind Man City with nine games to go, after how far we finished behind them last season, you would have.

“It’s hard because of what’s happened in the season, we were leading but it was too early, it was in December/January, you don’t win a league then.

“Now we’re at the bit where it matters, we’re in single figures and we’re a point behind. We’ve given ourselves a hell of a chance. If City slip up then we need to be in a position to take advantage of that.”
