In a dramatic and unexpected twist at Anfield, Liverpool’s newly appointed head coach Arne Slot has reportedly delivered a scathing assessment of long-serving left-back Andy Robertson, strongly suggesting that the Scotsman’s time at the club is nearing its end.
As Liverpool embarks on a new era under Slot’s leadership, sweeping changes are expected across the squad—and it appears Robertson may be the first major casualty. According to sources close to the club, the Dutch manager held nothing back in a behind-closed-doors meeting, where he launched into a harsh critique of Robertson’s recent performances, branding him as lacking intensity, commitment, and relevance on the pitch.
“Robertson is done here—simple as that,” Slot allegedly stated. “With all the new signings coming in, he’s the first one out. I’m tired of seeing no fight in him. He brings nothing to this team anymore. I only kept him around because of the fans, but I’m not going to fake it anymore. He’s finished.”
Slot reportedly went even further, declaring that unless Robertson finds a new club before the start of the season, he will be completely frozen out of the squad: “I don’t want him on the pitch, in the locker room, or even on the bench. He won’t get a minute of game time. I want him gone—immediately.”
The leaked remarks have sent shockwaves through the Liverpool dressing room and fanbase. Robertson, who became a symbol of Liverpool’s high-octane style under Jurgen Klopp, now finds himself cast aside in the most unceremonious fashion. During Klopp’s tenure, the Scotland captain was a vital part of the club’s success, helping the team to Champions League and Premier League titles with his relentless energy and attacking flair from the left flank.
Reactions to Slot’s comments have been explosive. Many supporters have taken to social media to express their disbelief and frustration at what they see as blatant disrespect towards a club legend. One angry fan tweeted, “This isn’t just poor man-management—it’s a complete insult to one of our greatest full-backs.”
However, others have pointed to Robertson’s recent decline in form and believe that a bold rebuild under Slot might be necessary, even if it means moving on from familiar faces.
With emotions running high and the fanbase divided, questions are mounting about whether Slot’s tough approach will backfire or prove to be the beginning of a ruthless but necessary transition. All eyes now turn to Robertson’s response—and what lies ahead in a potentially stormy summer at Anfield.
