In a stunning development from Anfield tonight, Liverpool’s new head coach Arne Slot delivered a harsh and blunt verdict on veteran left-back Andy Robertson, signaling the likely end of the defender’s time at the club.
As Liverpool undergo a major rebuild under Slot this summer, the Dutch manager made it clear Robertson is the first player to be shown the exit, unleashing a furious critique behind closed doors that has now leaked publicly:
“With all the signings we’ve brought in, Robertson is the first one out—no questions. I’m fed up with his lack of fight, zero intensity, and useless presence on the pitch.
I never liked him and I’m done pretending. I only kept him for the fans’ sake, but now? He’s finished here.
I’m giving him one last chance to leave—if he’s still around when the season kicks off, he won’t play a single minute. I don’t want him anywhere near my squad. Get him out—NOW.”
The message is unmistakable: Slot is done with Robertson.
The Scotland international, once a cornerstone of Klopp’s high-energy system, now finds himself unwanted and sidelined under the new leadership.
Slot’s harsh words have shocked the dressing room and ignited heated debate among fans, who are split between loyalty and acknowledging Robertson’s recent dip in form.
Many supporters have expressed outrage at Slot’s treatment of a player who has been instrumental in the club’s recent successes, while others agree that Robertson’s performances have not met expectations lately.
One fan tweeted, “It’s not even debatable—Arne Slot is clueless for letting him go. This isn’t just disrespectful, it’s disgraceful.”
Emotions are running high, with some fans calling on the club to show respect and offer a proper farewell to a player who helped bring Champions League and Premier League titles to Liverpool.
Is this the ruthless new Liverpool under Slot, or has the manager misjudged and disrespected a club legend?
All eyes are now on Robertson’s next steps—and whether Slot can keep the fanbase united during what promises to be a turbulent summer.
