Liverpool supporters have called out Andrew Robertson despite their 3-1 Premier League win over Leicester City on Thursday (December 26) at Anfield. Robertson was poor at left-back and failed to offer any meaningful contribution in defense.

Six minutes into the game, Jordan Ayew opened the scoring for Leicester City following a cross from Stephy Mavididi. On the brink of halftime (45+1'), Cody Gakpo equalized for the Reds following a pass from Alexis Mac Allister.

In the 49th minute, Curtis Jones gave the Reds the lead after being set up by Mac Allister. Mohamed Salah scored Liverpool's third in the 82nd minute following a decent pass from Gakpo.

In 86 minutes on the pitch, Robertson had a passing accuracy of 93% (82/88). He lost possession of the ball 19 times and registered only one clearance in defense (via Sofascore).

Fans took to X to express their dissatisfaction with Robertson's performance in the game's aftermath, with one posting:

"Should’ve strolled to a comfortable 3-0 win tbh, but Robertson Bozo gene kicked in at the beginning.”
"Those that think when you come at Robertson it means you hate him. Nops not at all bro is done,” another added.
"Andy Robertson, until next year please. Don't let me see you on Sunday,” a fan opined.
"Facts, Robertson is finished,” another fan opined.
"Slot can’t magically make robertson good,” another chimed in.
"I cant watch robertson anymore please keep him only for carabao cup,” wrote another.

Salah was key on the right flank and yet again proved his importance by scoring the side's third goal. In 90 minutes on the pitch, the Egypt international had a passing accuracy of 82% (32/39). He registered three shots on target and delivered two key passes (via Sofascore).

Salah is the league's top-scorer, having scored 16 goals and provided 11 assists in 17 games. The Reds are the league leaders, having registered 42 points from 17 games. With a game in hand, they are seven points ahead of second-placed Chelsea in the title race.

The Reds will take on West Ham United in their next Premier League game on Sunday (December 29).
