Robertson hopes for better season with Liverpool
FULL-BACK Andy Robertson says he is only getting started at Liverpool and expects to improve even more in 2019-20.
The 25-year-old joined the Reds from Hull City in 2017 and has wasted little time in establishing himself as one of the best defenders in the Premier League.
He made 48 appearances last season as Jurgen
Klopp’s side finished second in the top flight with 97 points and won the
Champions League. Robertson admits there was a steep learning curve when he joined the club, but believes he has “kicked on” over the past two seasons. “There has been a lot happening in a relatively short period of time but I’ve loved every minute of it,” he told the club’s official website. “Of course, at the start it was a lot tougher; there was still a big learning curve for me at the time to realise the standard I had to get up to and how much h I had to improve to play ay at this level. “Luckily, I feel l I made that step and I’ve kicked on from there, but I still ll feel I can improve a lot more and that’s what I aim im to do season to season.
“Last season was a big one for me because e there was a bit more expectation ctation on me at the start because cause of the six months I had previously. I feel I managed ed to deal with that.
“This season there’ll probablyably be even more. I just look to add to it, keep putting in good performances and keep contributing to the team, like the manager and coaching staff want me to do.”
The Scotland international experienced an underwhelming start to life at Liverpool, making just three appearances before December in his debut campaign, and had to show patience.
