Andy Robertson opens up on missing out on the Premier League title last season

Andy Robertson has opened up on missing out on the Premier League title last season after being just one point behind the winners - Manchester City. Although last season the Reds missed out on the league title, but they became Champions League winners. Speaking exclusively with LiverpoolECHO, Andy Robertson said: “Our total of 97 points wins 95% of the Premier Leagues in previous years. “For us, that still hurts, missing out after such a fantastic season. It was eased by winning the Champions League and we can look back and say it was a successful season. “Without the Champions League, though, we couldn't. It would have been a very long summer. “We know how important every single game is because every point and every win and last-minute winner and clean sheet last season was so important. We fell short but pushed Man City all the way.” “This season, we have got a nice lead just now, but we know if we drop points then the two teams behind us will be ready to pounce," added Robertson. “We just need to keep them at arm's length, and if we keep doing that then we keep that gap. That has to be our aim. “We know it's going to be tough and realistically games are going to get tougher, and if we do drop points then it's all about bouncing back. We have done that so far. “Against Manchester United we drew and recovered straight away and have gone on a good run of winning games. Returning from Qatar, we have to pick up where we left off.” Liverpool's upcoming game will be against Leicester City on December 26. Currently the Reds are leading the league table with 10 points ahead of Foxes, who are second. source - LiverpoolECHO
