“Absolute mayhem!” – Jamie Carragher floored by £160k-a-week Liverpool star’s shocking blunder vs Fulham
“Utter chaos!” – Jamie Carragher left in disbelief over £160k-a-week Liverpool ace’s nightmare moment against Fulham
Andy Robertson won’t be the only Liverpool player needing some serious self-reflection after Fulham dismantled them on Saturday.
Even so, the Scotland international was at the heart of what might’ve been Liverpool’s most dismal first-half showing of the 2024/25 Premier League season.
The Reds shipped three goals in under 15 minutes, with Robertson playing a key part in Alex Iwobi’s opener—his bizarre decision to loft a risky cross-field ball deep in his own third, despite Fulham players swarming, proved costly.

Jamie Carragher left speechless by Andy Robertson’s baffling blunder
Jamie Carragher was nearly speechless as he tried to make sense of Andy Robertson’s costly mistake.
“What a mess! “You don’t expect a pass that poor from a player of Robertson’s calibre,” said the Liverpool legend on Sky Sports. “Then he fails to make the header – and it ends up hitting him on the way in.”
Even considering Robertson’s patchy form this season, it’s hard to fathom what he was thinking by playing such a risky ball under pressure.
Arne Slot was right to label it a ‘one-off’ mistake, and we can only hope it stays that way — especially with West Ham heading to Anfield next Sunday. A repeat simply isn’t an option.
Looking Ahead: Liverpool’s Left-Back Dilemma
While Robertson still has value in the squad, it’s getting harder to imagine him remaining Slot’s first-choice left-back much longer.
With Liverpool heavily linked to Bournemouth’s promising Milos Kerkez, the club seems to be planning for the future.
To be clear, there’s no desire to see Robertson leave this summer — the more likely departure looks to be Kostas Tsimikas.
Still, with big ambitions and a potential title-winning season to build on, some tough calls may be necessary. And unfortunately, that might mean saying goodbye to a few fan favourites for the sake of progress.
