Liverpool defender Andrew Robertson has dismissed talk of the Premier League title race, insisting the Reds remain fully focused on taking each game as it comes despite extending their impressive run with victory over Manchester City.
Softfootball understands that Liverpool’s 2-0 win over the defending champions at Anfield has strengthened belief that Arne Slot’s side are genuine title contenders this season.
However, Robertson has stressed that the squad is refusing to look too far ahead, with the hectic festive schedule demanding complete focus on every upcoming fixture.
Speaking to the club’s official media, the Scotland international said it is far too early to start discussing winning the Premier League.
Robertson pointed out that Liverpool face another difficult test away to Newcastle United and warned that victories over Real Madrid and Manchester City would count for little if they failed to maintain their momentum.
The experienced left-back also reminded supporters that league titles are decided in May, not December, adding that the team simply wants to remain in a strong position when the decisive stages of the campaign arrive.
Robertson further admitted that Liverpool are still adapting to the ideas of their new manager and believes there is still room for improvement despite the team’s impressive performances.
The defender praised the squad’s current form but emphasised the importance of continuing to collect maximum points while building consistency.
Liverpool’s victory over Manchester City kept them firmly at the top of the Premier League table, with confidence continuing to grow as they prepare for another demanding run of fixtures.
