Robbo has nothing to prove to me
Klopp: Andy’s brilliance is being taken for granted
Scotland. Klopp has also spoken about that criticism, when the defender was vilified for a slight error which led to a goal for Russia.
The boss added: “I’ve said what I want to say about the Scotland thing.
“I don’t go on social media and tell the world what I think about other countries’ football.”
The Liverpool manager though, was vehement in his defence of the left-back after Tuesday night’s Champions League defeat, insisting there was no error from him but a piece of cynical gamesmanship from his Napoli opponent.
Klopp added: “The CallejonRobertson situation, we all agree that it was not a penalty. Was it smart from Callejon? Yes, if you want to be smart like this.
“He wanted to get Robertson out of the game with little challenges here and discussions with the referee – and he got (him) a harsh yellow card.
“But you face very experienced players and they try everything to decrease your quality. Nothing else happened. It was a completely normal game from Robbo. There is nothing.” Robertson will be a key figure again for the visit to Chelsea tomorrow, with the manager admitting his side must improve on a record that has seen them win just one of their 12 games away to the big six in the Premier League. Klopp said: “Performancewise it’s so surprising. It is not an obvious problem. We were often close to winning these games. So let’s just keep going and we will see what happens.”
Klopp will refresh his side for Chelsea, with Gini Wijnaldum returning and Joe Gomez also poised to come back in.
