Andy Robertson has demanded a significant improvement from his Liverpool teammates when they face Wolves in the FA Cup fifth round on Friday night, just days after a humiliating 2-1 Premier League defeat at Molineux.
Speaking to BBC Sport, the Scottish defender admitted the performance was not good enough. 'The performance level wasn’t good enough on Tuesday night; there’s no coming away from that. You don’t win many games of football playing the way we did,' Robertson said.
He highlighted a lack of intensity in the first half and noted that Wolves, under their new manager, are a competitive side despite their league position. 'It’s not Wolves that are 20th in the league. They took three points off us, took three points off Aston Villa. They took a point off Arsenal recently in the league. They’re a team that are really difficult to beat at the minute,' he added.
Robertson stressed the need for a better display to progress in the competition. 'We know it’s a tough place to be, it always has been. We know we need to play a lot better than we did the other night to get anything out of the game. That’s what we have been working towards since Tuesday night, and hopefully we can go and show that on Friday night,' he said.
Beyond the FA Cup tie, Liverpool face a Champions League clash with Galatasaray on Tuesday evening and host Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on Sunday.
