Andy Robertson has his say on reports saying he clashed with Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker in the dressing room

Speaking to Soccer AM on Sky Sports (h/t Liverpool Echo), Liverpool defender dismissed any rumours of him being in a dressing room fight with Alisson Becker.

Rumours emerged after the Reds’ 3-1 loss to Leicester City earlier in the month that the two clashed inside the changing room. These talks were shortly quashed by club captain Jordan Henderson.

And now, the Scotsman himself has had a chance to clear out any confusion there was regarding the incident. Robertson was at his comedic best as he was disappointed at the fact that the rumours had him at the receiving end.

Andy Robertson says that he did not have a clash in the dressing room with Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker.

“I don’t look like the boxing type, do I!” said the left-back. The least (likely) two people to fight in the dressing room are myself and Ali, to be honest. I love how I was the one who ended up with the burst lip. I would rather it was the other way about but beggars can’t be choosers!”

Unity in crisis

A defeat to Everton at Anfield for the first time since 1999 has turned the situation at the club into a full-blown crisis. The title race seems to be out of reach and the club should now aim for a top-4 finish.

That too would not come easy. The Reds are out of the UEFA Champions League spots at the moment and would slip further down if Everton and Aston Villa were to win their games in hand.
