Jamie Carragher suggests Liverpool has already seen perfect Andy Robertson replacement
Jamie Carragher has praised the talent of Fulham left-back Antonee Robinson, opening the door to the possibility that he is the man to replace Andy Robertson as Liverpool’s new left-back.
There’s a growing feeling around Anfield that the Reds will need to look for additional resources at left-back soon, with Robertson’s performances taking a sharp nose dive this season.
Robinson is seen as one of the Premier League’s outstanding left-backs and was widely selected in many Teams of the Season at the halfway point of the 2024/25 campaign. He was in Carragher’ s, who, in a post on X, justified the selection and stated: “Gave the best left back performance I’ve seen this season at Anfield for Fulham. Got 7 assists also.”

The American international has been linked with a move to Liverpool in recent weeks, with Football Insider claiming the Reds are ‘keeping tabs’ on him.
Meanwhile, Give Me Sport has stated that Manchester United is considering whether to make an approach for Robinson in the January window, with Ruben Amorim feeling the Fulham star would be an ideal candidate to play in an attacking left wing-back role.
Either way, Liverpool’s interest, or lack of, is unlikely to be relevant in January, with Arne Slot already confirming he does not expect any major additions this month.
“There’s nothing in the media yet about who we’re going to bring in? No? And also not in my mind," he said after Sunday’s win over West Ham United. "I’m very happy with the squad we have, I said this six months ago and everybody was like 'is this guy crazy?’ But I think the players show the confidence the club and me had in them was all deserved.”
That stance goes against Carragher’s advice, with the ex-defender recently telling Slot to consider bringing in a left-back during the mid-season window.
“He [Robertson] needs help, doesn’t he? [Kostas] Tsimikas is injured and he’s not at that level, we know that,” Carragher said last month. “But Robertson is playing too much football. He can still do 15-20 games a season, but he needs help in January.”
