"He’s been a fantastic servant" - John Barnes heaps praise on Liverpool star 

John Barnes, a former Liverpool player and ESPN football commentator, has praised Andrew Robertson as a "fantastic servant" for the Premier League club.

In a recent interview with BonusCodeBets, Barnes highlighted Robertson's contributions on both ends of the pitch, noting his creative assists and strong defensive play.

Speaking highly of the Scotland international, Barnes said:

“Andy Robertson is a fantastic player. Yes he’s been a great creative outlet, very much like Trent Alexander-Arnold, in terms of assists but he’s also been a great defender – stopping people from scoring, putting crosses in. He’s a full-back and he defends.”

Robertson has played a vital role in Liverpool's success in recent years, with his ability to provide crosses and set up goals being a significant factor in the team's attacking play.

However, Barnes emphasized that it is Robertson's defensive work that truly stands out, noting that he has been crucial in preventing goals against the Reds.

He added:

“His assists are a bonus for me. His defending has been very good, his all-round play has been very good. So as much as you talk about his assists, I’m much more interested in how many times he’s stopped a goal from being scored.”

The former England international expressed that he does not believe in talking about the legacies of active players, as they can go on to achieve more until they stop playing.

However, he added that Robertson had been a ''fantastic servant'' for the Merseyside club.

He further added:

“I’ll never talk about people’s legacies before they stop playing because of course, you can win the league four or five times before you stop playing. At this moment in time, he’s been a fantastic servant for Liverpool and has been a fantastic player.”

Liverpool signed Robertson from EFL Championship club Hull City in the summer of 2017 on a long-term deal initially worth £8 million.

Since then, the Scotland international has been a regular figure in Jurgen Klopp's team, with eight goals to his name and a massive 60 assists in 242 caps across different tournaments.
