After Liverpool’s fifth consecutive defeat at Anfield, Andy Robertson thinks the team is losing their motivation to make a comeback.

Andy Robertson believes that Liverpool is “nowhere near good enough” as they lost to Chelsea on Thursday night. The full-back however wants his team to set focus on getting back and not relying on their previous triumphs.

The Reds slid down to the seventh position in the league after a 1-0 defeat at Anfield. As we all witnessed, a scintillating strike from Mason Mount in the first half was enough to hold Liverpool back. Although, Jurgen Klopp’s side was lucky enough to not concede more goals in the affair. 

Andy Robertson admits that there has been a significant drop in the level of performance as of late. He told Sky Sports: “These games are won and lost on fine margins and these goals can’t happen. For us to get beaten on the counter-attack is not good enough.”

“Five home games without a win, that is nowhere near good enough. Nothing is going to help the fans at home and it is simply not good enough because games are running out for what we want.”

“Too many heads are going down when we go 1-0 down, we cant do that. Football is about taking knocks.”

“We can’t rely on the past. Last season is over with, it is done. We have nowhere near been good enough to what a Liverpool team should be. We are dropping further and it is not good enough.”

“Games are running out and we need to put the pressure on the teams below us. People will think we are down and out and we need to get the results to show them we are not. At the moment we are not doing that.”
