What Jurgen Klopp did to unshackle Liverpool ace Andy Robertson
The left-back signed from Hull City last summer but initially struggled to displace an improved Alberto Moreno and had to settle for a consistent spot on the sidelines at the start of the season.
But an ankle injury for the Spaniard in early December handed Robertson his opportunity, one which he grasped wholeheartedly.
Robertson has since established himself as the Reds’ first-choice on that side courtesy of his combative displays, namely his unquestionable work ethic and dangerous crossing from advanced wide positions.
It was his ball that allowed Mohamed Salah to tap in the second of his four goals in the Reds' 5-0 thrashing of Watford in the Premier League on Saturday.
And Robertson credits a personal conversation with Klopp as the instigator for his surge in stock, and confidence, on Merseyside.
