Robertson Gave Us Everything - But Backing Kerkez Is Backing Liverpool’s Future

Andy Robertson’s journey is the stuff of folklore.

From Queen’s Park to Anfield, he defied every expectation, not with hype or headlines, but with pure footballing grit.

Watching him charge down the wing, lead without fuss, and needle opponents with a wry smile was one of the defining pleasures of the Klopp era. He has given everything to Liverpool and to Scotland; the enthusiasm, the dynamism, the leadership, and that perfect touch of snide that made him impossible to ignore.

But football does not pause. It rewards evolution, not sentiment. That is why, as much as I revere everything Robertson has done, I fully support Liverpool making a move for Milos Kerkez. This is not about casting Robertson aside, it is about recognising what the team needs next. The shape has changed, the demands have shifted, and the left flank has cried out for fresh energy and tactical balance.

Kerkez brings just that. He offers width, aggression, and a fearless intent that fits perfectly with where Liverpool are trying to go. He is not here to mimic Robertson, but to take the baton and run with it in his own way.

Robertson will always be the benchmark. The one who turned a position into a weapon, who never let the tempo drop, and who played every game like it was personal. Even as I welcome his successor, it is with full appreciation of the legacy he leaves behind.

Because he did not just fill a role. He redefined it. And he did it in a way we will never forget.
