2020/21 Lucas Digne

Hope that game put to bed the ridiculous notion of Robertson as the best leftback in the league. He didn’t know where Rodriguez was for 90 minutes, he couldn’t even get off the ground against Calvert Lewin, and a debutant playing out of position at right back was running past him for fun. He did one decent thing in the whole game which was the assist for Mane after he miscontrolled his first touch and got lucky with the ricochet off Coleman.

Digne had Salah in his pocket most of the game and provided an assist (could have been 2 of Calvert Lewin had finished his chance better). He’s just a classier footballer, no doubt about it, better positionally, better with the ball, more intelligent. Robertson has got by on running like a drugged up whippet and being the angriest ferret in the entire world.

It’s like comparing a Ferrari cruising round the Italian countryside to some bloke on cocaine doing 100 in his Corsa and trying to climb the latter is the better car.

All i need to do is list their respective clubs to know who's better, Robertson fits klopp's vision, but that's it really. They got lucky he's done so well, he was bought on the cheap from a relegated team to be a bit part player.
 
...the bottom line is would we swap Digne for Robertson and I doubt many of us would. I had connections to the first team when Robertson was at Hull & I recall him giving 3 penalties away in consecutive games and getting dropped.

Robertson has got a terrific ‘assists’ record for the Reds, but I suspect Digne would top that in their team.

I’m not into perceived Bias.. but the build up of Robertson vs Digne is purely pundits and fans assuming everything Liverpool have MUST be better.. I’ve never seen full backs get pumped up in value as fast as Trent and Robertson...

Digne is on another level to Robertson. Objectively there isn’t a blue who would think otherwise. I think that new Spurs LB is going to prove better than Robertson... but even he won’t get the headlines he would have if he had joined Liverpool.
 

Liverpool has a great team, but you also have to consider that players look good under Klopp"s system. I can guarantee that all of their players' stats would decline in a different system and many players would look better under them.

Digne is class and I am so glad he plays for us. May he long stay
 
He's great and the only question I really have is why people seem to think he slipped between his first year and last season. He's always been top quality for us.

The whole team were poor in the first half of last season, I think that's probably why the perception is that he dropped a level.

The lad is an absolute star and it's by a mile the best thing that Brands has done since he's been here.
