As Liverpool build up to their Saturday night showdown with Newcastle United, one message has clearly set the tone and it comes straight from Andy Robertson.
Ahead of the January 31, 2026 clash at Anfield, Robertson spoke with calm confidence about what the team needs to do, and Liverpool made his words the centrepiece of their pre-match messaging.
Softfootball reported that Those words were shared prominently on Liverpool’s official X account, underlining the mindset inside the camp: focus, belief, and responsibility especially at home.
“It’s up to us to be at our best. They’ve got quality all over the pitch, but so do we and hopefully we can be on top come Saturday night.”
The timing of Robertson’s message is important. It comes during a week filled with transfer noise and talk about dressing-room dynamics, but the Scotland international has remained firmly locked in on football matters.
Reports had suggested Tottenham Hotspur held early talks over a potential January move for Robertson, but Liverpool quickly shut that down. With defensive injuries already stretching the squad and limited cover at left-back, the club decided stability was non-negotiable.
There have also been rumours about tensions involving Mohamed Salah, but those claims remain speculative. Inside the club, Robertson is seen as one of the senior voices helping keep the squad united and focused during a demanding period of the season.
Rather than getting caught up in off-pitch stories, Liverpool’s message is clear: the attention is fully on Newcastle United and delivering a strong performance in front of the Anfield crowd.
Robertson’s words reflect exactly where Liverpool want to be mentally respectful of the opponent, confident in their own quality, and determined to make home advantage count.
