da bet7: Andrew Robertson put in a poor performance during Liverpool’s 3-0 loss against Watford on Saturday.
On the chalkboard
da bet sport: It turns out Jurgen Klopp’s side don’t have Premier League invincibility, as they fell to a heavy defeat against relegation-threatened Watford.
Dejan Lovren has taken a lot of criticism from fans for his involvement, but he is not the only one who deserves to have their performance scrutinised.
There are plenty of players in the team who should be questioned, and Andrew Robertson is certainly one of those, as the usually reliable Scotsman struggled on the day.

Poor performance
Ismaila Sarr was Watford’s big player, getting two goals and an assist, while coming directly up against the 25-year-old.
It can be suggested that Robertson should have done better for Watford’s first two goals. The first saw Sarr get ahead of him to tap in from inside the six-yard box, while he was uncharacteristically weak in his attempt to block Troy Deeney’s pass for the second.
He did show quality on the ball, as is typical of him, completing one key pass and one dribble, while maintaining a pass success rate of 88%.
However, as hinted at by his involvement in the first two goals, Robertson was so ineffective defensively.
No clues: Can you name the season these iconic Liverpool images belong to?
The 25-year-old didn’t compete in any aerial duels, while he also failed in the one tackle that he attempted, didn’t make any clearances and managed just one interception throughout the 90 minutes.
His failure to stop Sarr can also be shown through the Senegalese winger’s statistics, as he managed six shots, two dribbles and one key pass – indicating how much joy he was getting during the game.
This is one result and performance, so there is no need to be too dramatic about what this means in the long-term, but there should be questions asked about why the game unfolded in the way it did.
Meanwhile, Klopp gave an honest assessment about Liverpool’s place in history.
