It is becoming a nightmare for opposition managers to chalk out a plan on how to stop Liverpool’s front three. Once again Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane scored, and the Reds comfortably sealed a 4-1 win against West Ham on Saturday at Anfield.
Salah reached his 31st goal of the season, while Firmino’s no-look strike oozed class at Merseyside, but the Reds fans can’t get their head over one player who is first becoming a Kop hero. Andy Robertson.
The 23-year-old grabbed the opportunities with both hands after Alberto Moreno got injured, and he is growing in confidence with every single game.
The £8 million signing from Hull City in the summer is now looking like an absolute bargain. His pass for Salah’s goal was terrific and overall he did a fantastic job, with three tackles and three key passes as well.
The Scottish defender took to social networking site Twitter to express his delight after the match. He tweeted:
Great result and performance today! Fans were brilliant throughout! #YNWA https://t.co/YXhHTGhkfz

Liverpool fans simply loved his performance, with many claiming he is arguably one of the best left-backs the club has had in a long time.
Best LB we’ve had in years ??⚽

Great display again, mate. Looks like we finally have a successor to @JARiiseOfficial. But then, it’s hard to replace the best LFC left-back in 25 years!

Robertson for £8m is an absolute snip. (Basically a swap for Kevin Stewart) So is Salah at £36m. Edwards hey? #LFC

Robertson Carlos carries on proving you don’t have to be a fancy name to get to the top of your profession ..pure hard work ,desire and plenty of underrated talent ..#LFC

Robertson. The front 3 will get more plaudits. Van Dijk will get more praise and Karius will get more media but that boy has been #LFC’s find of the season.

Andy Robertson could potentially be the best left back I’ve seen play for us. Always been a problem position but the potential of our current full backs is very promising #lfc
