Liverpool need to give fans reasons to get excited, says Robertson | OneFootball

Liverpool needs to give its fans reasons to “get excited” in the second leg of the Champions League round of 16 against Galatasaray, said left-back Andy Robertson on Tuesday.

The English team has accumulated several disappointing results this season and, last Sunday, after conceding a 1-1 draw to Tottenham in the final minutes, many fans booed the team at Anfield.

“They weren’t happy and neither were we. I can understand that. But as for tomorrow [Wednesday], I’m not worried,” Robertson said at a press conference.

On Champions League nights, Anfield pushes the team forward and that won’t be “any different” against Galatasaray, after the English side’s 1-0 defeat in Turkey.

“We need to give them reasons to shout, get excited, and get up in the stands,” said Robertson.

The team “has the level” to be in the quarterfinals, but didn’t “show that enough last week. We need to raise our level of performance and we are aware of that,” added the full-back, who won the Champions League with Liverpool in 2019.

Coach Arne Slot also spoke about the boos.

“It’s never a pleasant feeling, because this is a club that always supports its coach, in good times and bad. So, if they’re not happy with me, it means I’ve apparently done a lot of things wrong,” said Slot.

“I also know how the football industry works. Winning can change a lot. That’s what we’re going to try to achieve tomorrow and we’re fully prepared,” warned the Dutch coach.
