Sky Sports pundit Paul Merson has bizarrely questioned whether Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp still trusts defensive stalwart Andy Robertson after he has been the centre of a handful of substitutions in recent matches.
Robertson, who signed from Hull City for £8m in 2017, has become instrumental to the Reds' success during that time as he and counterpart Trent Alexander-Arnold have redefined the requirements of a modern-day full-back.
However, for large periods of his Anfield career to date, the Scotland captain has had little-to-no competition for the left-back position - highlighted by the 229 games the 28-year-old has racked up during his five years on Merseyside thus far.
