Liverpool left-back Andy Robertson talks about leaving it too late vs Wolves

Liverpool once again left it too late against Wolves as they overcame a goal deficit and excellently finished the game 3-1. Goals from Cody Gakpo, Andy Robertson and Harvey Elliott did the damage and got us three points on the road.

Robbo, who scored the goal to give us the lead for the first time in the game, and late in the 85th minute, spoke about how the Reds are leaving it too late like how they did against Newcastle. Here is what he told BBC:

“Yes, ideally we don’t go behind. We’ve already done it a few times this season. Maybe last season that was our downfall, I don’t remember too many comebacks. Our away form so far has been good, too. It’s been a good start but there’s along way to go. We can’t afford to start like that in future.”

Robertson also praised Liverpool’s strong away form. This assessment highlights the team’s ability to perform well on the road, which is essential for a successful campaign in the Premier League. But as he said, there’s still a long way to go.

These comebacks are all proof that Liverpool can put up solid performances albeit late in the game. They have shown resilience in coming from behind late in matches, Robertson’s focus is on minimizing the need for comebacks by starting matches strongly. A solid start can set the tone for a game and allow the team to control proceedings from the beginning.

The Reds Leave It Late Once Again

The players understand that maintaining a high level of performance throughout a gruelling Premier League season is no easy feat. The title race is typically highly competitive, and every point counts. Robertson’s comments reflect the team’s awareness of the need to stay grounded and maintain their intensity in the months ahead.

The team’s determination to address early setbacks and their commitment to continuous improvement are evident. While Liverpool have shown resilience in coming from behind late in matches, the focus should ideally be on minimizing the need for comebacks by starting matches strongly.
