Fulham left-back Antonee Robinson has stated in a exclusive interview with WhoScored that Anfield is the “best atmosphere” he’s experienced.
When asked what the best stadium atmosphere he has experienced, Robinson told WhoScored: “Unfortunately because we lost, Anfield that 4-3, they (the fans) were just willing the ball into the goal in that game it felt like.”

Robinson, who has been touted as a successor to Andy Robertson as Liverpool’s left back, will only add fuel to the fire of rumours linking him with an Anfield move.
There have been reports that the 50-cap US international could be available for £40m, and that the Reds could make an approach in the January transfer window.
WhoScored, who provide users with a platform to analyse over 200+ raw data stats for individual players and football teams, currently have Robinson as the highest-rated full back in the Premier League this season with a rating of 7.10.
He ranks marginally ahead of Trent (7.06) but is clear ahead of Andy Robertson (6.71) and Kostas Tsimikas (6.68) in the WhoScored ratings.
In fact, since the start of the 2023/24 season, Robinson has more assists (9) in the Premier League than Robertson and Tsimikas combined (5).
Another stat line where Robinson dominates his Liverpool counterparts is interceptions made, where he has picked up 103 compared to Robertson and Tsimkas’ total of 27 over the same period.
Interestingly, it was in that 4-3 defeat to Liverpool that Robinson recorded his highest-ever Premier League WhoScored match rating, scoring an impressive 8.62.
The 27-year-old is currently putting up his highest rated season so far on WhoScored and when asked why he thinks that is, he puts that down to surgery he received over the summer break.
“I’ve been more front footed and aggressive in defence this season. Last season, I was struggling with my body, and I’ve had surgery since last season to put that right and now I’m feeling decent in myself.”
Quote from WhoScored spokesperson Leon Blackman: “The rumour mill is swirling this season with reports that Andy Robertson’s successor at Liverpool could be signed in the next two transfer windows. Fulham left-back Antonee Robinson has added fuel to the fire of a possible move to Anfield after declaring that it’s the best atmosphere he’s experienced in his career. Currently, Robinson is the league’s highest rated full-back on WhoScored, scoring 7.10, compared to 6.71 for Andy Robertson, and 6.68 for Kostas Tsimikas.”
