Gary Neville has never been shy about throwing the odd hand grenade towards Liverpool. But even praise from the former Manchester United defender has caused a mini-ruction within the Reds squad.
Well, sort of. The Sky Sports pundit, when last week assessing his Premier League team of the year, included Andy Robertson with the claim the Scotland international is “the best full-back in the league by a mile”. Given the left-back’s ongoing wager with Reds team-mate Trent Alexander-Arnold over the most assists, goals and just about everything else, it was all the ammunition he needed.
“I enjoyed it, that’s for sure!” says Robertson. “Trent’s not too happy! He gets enough praise probably. I’ve used it with Trent for the last week, by saying ‘by a mile’ and things like that. I just keep saying it to him. I walk past and that’s all I need to say. He knows exactly what I’m talking about because I know he watched it.
