Former striker Dean Saunders has passionately defended Andrew Robertson amid growing talk that Liverpool FC could allow the left-back to leave this summer.
And his message is clear:
👉 Liverpool could be making a huge mistake.
“I’m Naming Him”
Saunders didn’t hold back when assessing Robertson’s quality:
“If you said to me ‘name the six best left-backs in the world’ — I am naming him!”
That’s a bold claim, but one that reflects just how highly Robertson is still rated by those in the game.
“Better Than Kerkez”
Saunders also compared Robertson to potential successor Milos Kerkez:
“Robertson is better than Kerkez and his legs have not gone! He is a top notch player!”
👉 A direct challenge to the idea that Liverpool need to move on
Experience Still Matters
Robertson has been a key figure for Liverpool for years, offering:
Leadership
Consistency
Big-game experience
While there have been questions about form at times, Saunders believes:
👉 He is still performing at the highest level
A Risky Decision?
Letting Robertson leave would signal a major shift.
Liverpool would be:
Moving on from a proven leader
Putting faith in a younger option
Taking a risk on potential over experience
👉 And that doesn’t sit right with everyone
Fans Divided
Among supporters, opinion is split.
Some feel it’s the right time to refresh the squad.
Others agree with Saunders:
👉 You don’t let players of Robertson’s quality go lightly
The Bottom Line
Dean Saunders has made his stance clear:
👉 Andrew Robertson is still elite
👉 And Liverpool could regret letting him go
Now it’s up to the club to decide:
👉 Stick with experience — or move into a new era
