'Still annoys me' - Andy Robertson makes cup final admission as Liverpool record addressed

Andy Robertson admits he is still being driven by the memory of cup final disappointment as Liverpool prepare to continue their quest for a quadruple.

Robertson was among those to score from the spot in the Reds' dramatic 11-10 penalty shoot-out success after an enthralling goalless Carabao Cup final against Chelsea at Wembley on Sunday.

It was the 27-year-old's first domestic cup triumph having lost his previous such encounter when with Dundee United against St Johnstone in the Scottish Cup in 2014.

And Robertson said: "I remember it well. It was my first big disappointment as a professional footballer.

"The Dundee United season couldn't have gone much better to that point and it still annoys me that I left (to join Hull City) with that being my last game.

"I remember how big it was and how important it was for the city then and it's the same here at Liverpool.

"Domestic cup competitions are always important and we've done a lot better in them this season. Long may that continue."

Having won the League Cup for the first time since 2012, Liverpool will aim to take a step nearer a first FA Cup final appearance in a decade when they entertain Norwich City in the fifth round on Wednesday.

And Robertson has highlighted the impact the Reds' successful knockout runs are having on their season.

"A cup run can do a lot of things for you," he said, speaking to the official LFC matchday programme. "It can give you a lot of confidence and I think we're taking that just now from the Carabao Cup.

"Since I've been here the domestic cups have not been our competitions.

"We've done well in the Champions League and in the Premier League but we've struggled in the domestic cups and we want to put our recent record right.

"The FA Cup comes around again in midweek and we've got a difficult tie against Norwich but hopefully we can get through that and be into the quarter-finals."
