Liverpool defender Andy Robertson's time at Anfield could be coming to an end according to some supporters.
Last weekend, Robertson was sent off against Fulham in Liverpool's 2-2 draw with the Cottagers. He failed to deal with a cross from Fulham's Antonee Robinson for their first, which was converted by Andreas Pereira on 10 minutes and then was sent off for scything down Harry Wilson minutes later following a bad touch.
It was a disastrous 17 minutes for the 30-year-old, with some calling for Liverpool to replace Robertson with Robinson in the upcoming January transfer window. The latter was excellent against the Reds, picking up two assists in the process.
"All the chat about Andy Robertson and his recent poor form is unfortunately justified," one fan wrote online in a BBC discussion about what Liverpool should do at left-back. They continued: "He has, without doubt, been a tremendous servant to Liverpool. However, it is becoming clearer that his best days are over.
"If Kostas Tsimikas had not been plagued with injuries then he would have been selected before Robbo, for sure. Andy has been admired by Liverpool fans for years and will always be remembered for all the great things he brought. The time for a replacement is now, so get busy Liverpool and get his replacement sorted quickly."

Another added: "No need to look further than Fulham's Antonee Robinson. He has skill, pace and has come of age with consistent game time. He is what Robbo used to be in his younger years - a class act. Conor Bradley and Robinson at each side? I'll take it every day of the week and twice on Sundays."
A third defended Robinson, writing: "Robbo was the player of the match before that in Europe. He needs a rest, but let's not throw him on the scrap heap."

And a fourth said: "Condemning Robertson after a single high-profile mistake, then consigning him to second string in place of an unknown quantity as his replacement is a huge overreaction.
"Given FSG's record in the transfer market, there is zero chance of a high-profile replacement being signed in January. More quality in defensive midfield would have prevented that through ball as it split us wide open at the back. That is the priority in January, not a left back."
Liverpool.com says: "Honestly, with Liverpool having two senior left-backs, and with Joe Gomez able to play there too, it seems unlikely the Reds would target another full-back in January. That said, it seemed unthinkable they would sign another goalkeeper this past summer in Giorgi Mamardashvili when they already had Alisson and Caoimhin Kelleher on the books, so maybe they could enter the market for a full-back like Antonee Robinson."
