Hi ed001
Wondering if you heard if Robbo
Might be offered a bew deal, or whether he will leave at end of the season? Thanks buddy.
{Ed001's Note - last I heard they were going to decide in the new year.}

Thanks for your reply. Surely if kerkez does not settle in, they will make an offer.

Kerkez will end up a good signing, hasn't been great so far but also think he's struggled at what way he's beebn asked to play. Fair play to Robbo too, been good since he got back in the side.

Cant disagree with the assessment of Robbos form since he got back in. He did get lucky a couple of times last night, but we were due some good luck. Maybe the competition has focussed Robbo.
YNWA boo.

I'd like to see Robbo stay, hopefully for a couple of years. Important influence/ leader both for the team in general and coaching Kerkez through being less kamikaze when playing as part of a 4 rather than a 5.

Robbo’s playing better but he is about half a step / half a second off were he was when he was at his best - he is still a very good player but he struggles (and will increasingly struggle) against the very best players attacking him.
Not a criticism of the man or player - great motivator, genuine fella, and heart of a lion but he’s only a short term solution now, as far as the starting 11 goes.

I think robbo has benefited from actually being out of the team for a while. Bar 1st 3r4 months after he signed he has played almost non stop for us, he hasn't had too many injuries, and the break both mentally and physically done him world of good imo.

Robbo is a fantastic asset to the club
Love the bloke, you need his attitude.
Apparently Bradley has asked for the number 7 shirt, of course I did my due diligence and found out he asked for the Madrid #7 and wanted to sign it. that's a lovely gesture.

I think that the whole Kerkez/ Robbo situation is showing exactly why Klopp used to sign players and then we would not see them for a couple of months properly.
The likes of Robbo and Fabs etc came in and worked hard on the training ground to learn the system and get an understanding of what was being expected from them/ building a relationship/ understanding with those players around them.
Unfortunately players have been signed for Slot and thrown in at the deep end straight away. Personal opinion that is why it has worked when we have gone back to the proven first team and are starting to blend more of the new signings in a bit. It must be hard for all involved. Kerkez is most definitely the future at LB but for now he needs the time to learn from Robbo, learn what Virg needs and when the right time is to bomb on and do what he does so well.
06 Nov 2025 10:46:24
Robbo needs to stay to help Kerkez develop and he's a leader in the group. I have faith that Kerkez will improve and eventually match Robbo.

Kerkez is a young lad who has just moved to a big club, he’ll get there. Having Robertson around will only help him settle and develop. Kerkez was signed for 6 years, not 6 months. The good thing is that the competition has kicked Robertson up the arse too and he’s playing well again.
06 Nov 2025 14:06:35
RedQ that’s a bit of a myth about Klopp bedding players in first before playing them. He did do that with Robbo and Fabs but other than those 2 pretty much everyone else who was bought for the first team went straight into the first 11.
Apart from Ben Davies who was bedded in for 2 years so he could go straight into Rangers first team.

Apologies Robbo
Maybe the case was players who were facing a significant change in playing responsibilities were identified and given the time to adjust and learn their roles before playing a full 90 week in week out.
I feel that is the problem with the likes of Kerkez and Frimpong. Brilliant players, they just need that little bit of tactical fine tuning to get them where we as a team need them rather than what they have caught the eye doing.
Wirtz is the anomaly, he just needs to be played in his preferred position and be given the freedom to affect the game. Personal opinion only of course. He played off the left on Tuesday but appeared everywhere .

How did the bedding in of Naby, Ben D, and Arthur (amongst others) go. ??
I don’t think it is specifically a manager 5hinks - there is always a risk that any player signed might not ‘fit in’.
