'Things need to be said' - Andy Robertson makes big Liverpool dressing room admission after Manchester United defeat

Andy Robertson has said the Liverpool squad must 'pull our fingers out' after Monday's 2-1 defeat at Manchester United - but added that harmony within the group is good after an on-pitch argument between James Milner and Virgil Van Dijk.

The Reds were once again lacklustre in the opening phases of the game, conceding after 16 minutes when Jadon Sancho slotted into the bottom corner with time and space in the box - a goal which led to Milner and Van Dijk exchanging words. Marcus Rashford made it 2-0 after half-time, exposing Liverpool's high-line, before Mohamed Salah's header forced a nervy 10 minutes.

Jurgen Klopp's side have now gone behind in all three of their league games this season, but where they managed to salvage a point against Fulham and Crystal Palace, Erik Ten Hag's side held strong to secure their first win of the season and take them above the Reds. And Robertson admitted after the result that conceding first has become a glaring and regular problem.
