Andrew Robertson reveals Liverpool players ignored Jurgen Klopp instructions in Brentford loss

Andrew Robertson has admitted that Liverpool players didn't follow Jurgen Klopp's instructions during their loss against Brentford.

The Reds suffered a disastrous defeat at the hands of the Bees on Monday evening, losing 3-1 at the Gtech Community Stadium and being thoroughly outplayed during the 90 minutes.

The result leaves four points adrift of the top four and a whopping 15 points behind surprising pace-setters Arsenal at the top of the Premier League table.

Speaking to the press after the defeat to Brentford, Robertson admitted that the Liverpool squad simply didn't execute Klopp's gameplan on the day: “Obviously we didn't do what we were supposed to do. It's as simple as that.

"We didn't have any runners in-behind, we didn't have anyone high and wide, we didn't have anyone in spaces, we couldn't keep the ball, we lost the second balls, balls in-behind they dealt with, set-pieces they dealt with.

“So yeah, when you all add all those things up, you're never going to get a result at this place. We knew what Brentford are good at, it's not hard to work out what they're good at, and they're very consistent at it. We were prepared as to what we were expecting but obviously just struggled with it.

"Set-pieces were a huge weapon for them, the first two goals came from that, that's hugely disappointing from our point of view. You go in at half-time at 2-0 down and you have to fight an uphill battle."

Liverpool will be hoping to get back to winning ways when they face off against Wolves at Anfield in the FA Cup third round.
