Robertson: 'We wanted a new start at the turn of the year; if anything, we've been worse'

Andy Robertson gave a brutally honest assessment of Liverpool's struggles this season after the Reds suffered a last-minute defeat at Brighton in the FA Cup.

"This season has been nowhere near good enough," Robbo told ITV.

"At the turn of the year we wanted a new start, we’ve not been, if anything we’ve been worse. In the league, we haven’t been good enough and now we’re out of both cups now."

"You can’t put your finger on one thing, it’s more than that. You can tell we’re not as confident in front of goal and in defence we are a wee bit open.

"We had two clean sheets coming into today but then go and concede two goals. We need to get the confidence back, it’s easier said than done, and that’s how we will get results."
