Robertson has had a brilliant playing career with the Anfield giants, but he is no longer at his best and has begun to regress. Sunday's game against Arsenal showed why manager Arne Slot should remove him from the starting lineup.
The Scot looked second against Saka on most occasions and needed extra defensive cover after the early goal. He was dribbled around a couple of times and was also not effective in the final third for the Merseyside team.
Kostas Tsimikas has fared better than Robertson whenever he has been offered the opportunity to start and it could be time for a permanent change in the position. Robertson should make way for Tsimikas in the Carabao Cup fourth-round tie at Brighton on Wednesday.
If the Greek can step up with another strong performance for the Reds, he could also make the left-back position his own in the Premier League. Liverpool will face the same rival in the English top flight at Anfield on Saturday afternoon.
