Robertson outlines plan to 'fix' Liverpool's season amid futile title defense

A second successive league crown is a vain attempt for the Reds, who are closer to the relegation zone than to the top spot.

Andrew Robertson feels “there’s still time to fix” Liverpool’s season as he urges his team to push for a top-four Premier League finish and Champions League glory.

Liverpool are through to the quarter-finals of the Champions League, having beaten RB Leipzig 4-0 on aggregate in the previous round.

A clash with the might Real Madrid, who beat them in the 2018 final, awaits.

Success in Europe would neutralize the domestic failures for the Reds. Jurgen Klopp’s men have a 25-point deficit against league leaders Manchester City, sit five points below top-four, and suffered early exits from the FA Cup and Carabao Cup.

“Unfortunately, we have not had as good a season as we probably thought but there’s still time to fix it, there’s still time to make it a bit better,” Robertson told Sky Sports.

“Hopefully we can show the Liverpool of old and we can keep kicking on and the season might not be all bad come the end of it. There’s still a long way to go.

“We’re used to juggling two competitions. We have got to go on all fronts. We need to go for both [top four and Champions League] – we need to get up the league as high as possible – we need to put a run together.

“We have struggled for consistency this season. You don’t make the top four unless you put six, seven, eight results together and that’s what we need at the end of the season.”
