Former Liverpool striker Dean Saunders has come to the defense of Andy Robertson, asserting that the Scotland captain remains one of the top left-backs in the world despite a diminished role this season. Speaking on talkSPORT, Saunders stated, "If you said to me give me a list of the six best left backs in the world, I’m still naming Andy Robertson as one of them." He emphasized that Robertson's positional play, ability to make crucial passes, and overall game quality set him apart from his younger teammate, Milos Kerkez. With discussions about Robertson potentially leaving Liverpool at the end of the season, these comments are particularly relevant, especially as Kerkez is still developing his skills. Saunders also noted that injuries and disruptions within the squad have impacted Liverpool's recent performances, suggesting that relying on a developing player like Kerkez may be costing the team crucial points. As Liverpool prepares for an important derby against Everton, the decisions regarding their left-back position will come under increased scrutiny, especially if losing Robertson could affect their chances of finishing in the top five.
