Liverpool have four impressive full-backs gunning for just two positions and that is no bad thing.
Liverpool’s 5-1 win against Brighton and Hove Albion on Saturday was yet another example of what their attacking players are capable of. However it also gave Reds fans another glimpse of summer signing Andrew Robertson.
The 23-year-old has barely featured since swapping Hull City for Anfield for £10million (as reported by the BBC), yet his latest performance suggests he is going to be a very good player for Liverpool, potentially adding an interesting side story to Jurgen Klopp’s time on Merseyside.
This season has already seen an intriguing battle play out between right-backs Trent Alexander-Arnold and Joe Gomez and, while the latter may ultimately step into the centre of defence, his short-term opportunities will surely be out wide.
Both youngsters have proved their worth and could be regular Liverpool starters for the next decade, yet the club’s fans could be about to see a similar battle on the opposite flank.
As good as Alberto Moreno has been this season – and he has been superb – Robertson was a key player against Brighton and he could soon be keeping the transformed Spaniard out of the side.
At that stage, Liverpool could have four very good players fighting for only two positions, and it will be interesting to see how Klopp deals with that, keeping everyone happy but still doing the best for the club.
