Apparently Andy Robertson now holds the record for assists for a fullback in the Premier League after just setting up Salah's goal.
Well done lad.

And for so little....and then gave them 5m back (or something) for Stewart was it. Fail.
And for silly money...Klopp must still be pissing himself laughing at Hull City Afc.
We got £10m for Robertson, he’s gone on to become far more valuable since, but it wasn’t a terrible deal at the time.
The £3.5m for Stewart turned out to be poor business, but that’s just the way it goes, they can’t all be bargains.

If Carlsberg did ballers, Robbo would be up there as 'probably the best left wing back in the world'.
Not that Im bitter or owt..

Exactly this. I don’t think I was daft enough to say it on here, but at the time I thought the fee for him was about right and I remember being disappointed that a promising but still defensively quite limited fairly young player was sacrificing playing week in week out for bench warming or playing in the stiffs at a ‘big’ club.
Which probably demonstrates why I normally post about local stuff or music more than I do about yer actual football…
It always made me laugh when SB tells the story when Stan Tennant called him to say he thinks he had found Billy Wizz and we should buy him. He certainly turned out to be just that.
They weren't even going to watch Robertson, they were up there to watch Blair Spittal I think.
Spittal who now plays his football for Motherwell having played for Partick Thistle in the Scottish second and third tiers while A-Bob was winning the Premier League and the Champions League.
If there's one thing we need it's a Stan Ternent. He knew his onions!
I remember him saying they didn't even go to watch Robbo, but I wasn't sure who it was they went to see.
Indeed, none of this data stuff, just what he saw with his own eyes.
Couldn't agree more. We could've used some of the wages we've blown on **** players.
It was an absolutely terrible deal for Robertson. Full stop.
Agree. When a top team like Liverpool comes looking for player who is British, left footed, young, and you see what other players where going for at the time it’s not £10 million.
It was worse than that.
We then pissed away a third of that £10 million by signing one of the worst players from a higher league than us to ever don a black and amber shirt, as part of the deal.
It makes me laugh when Bruce tells the story about finding Bowen and bringing him to Hull City too.
He’s also not really doing anything differently at Liverpool to what he did at City, he’s just doing it in a far better team. Woefully undersold.
