Former Manchester United and Everton player Phil Neville has heaped praise on Liverpool star Andrew Robertson, hailing the former Hull man as the best left-back in Europe right now.
What’s he said?
As well as that bold statement, Neville went on to make another huge claim. The England Women’s team manager also thinks that the Scottish international is the most improved player he’s ever seen in the Premier League – praise of the highest order, most definitely.
Neville said on BBC’s Match of the Day (via the Liverpool Echo): “What Liverpool have got in Robertson and Trent Alexander-Arnold are players that have got unbelievable energy and the capacity to run 40, 50 yards.
Are the media letting Jurgen Klopp off lightly for his lack of silverware? The Pl>ymaker FC squad have their say in the video below…
“They’ve both got massive, massive energy and a big job to play and it gives them so much balance.
“Robertson, I think he’s the most improved player I’ve ever seen in the Premier League.
“His energy, his quality, he’s the best left-back I see in Europe at this moment in time.”
Solid Assessment
Of course, the part about Robertson being the most improved player in Premier League history is hard to argue with. Having suffered relegation to the Championship with Hull after previously plying his trade in Scotland’s lower leagues, nobody could’ve foreseen this remarkable turnaround in the 24-year-old’s career.
In regards to whether or not the former Queen’s Park full-back is Europe’s outright best, Robertson is certainly up there.
Currently, he would perhaps be mentioned in the same bracket as Barcelona’s Jordi Alba, Bayern Munich’s David Alaba and Juventus’ Alex Sandro – but right now, it is hard to argue that any of the aforementioned left-backs are any better than Liverpool’s No.26. Based on current form, he’s the best of the bunch.
