Liverpool centre back Tim Sherwood has given Andrew Robertson high marks for his enthusiasm and work ethic on the pitch.
The analyst called the Reds star a player with “incredible energy” when making an appearance on the No Tippy Tappy Football podcast.
Since joining Liverpool in 2017 in an £8 million deal from Hull City, Robertson has been nothing short of amazing.
With 279 games played, the 29-year-old has contributed 63 assists and seven goals for the Reds. In addition, he has garnered 62 caps for his country and captained Scotland.
Robertson has become one of the most vital players for his team and nation thanks to his attacking play style, boundless energy, inventive passing, and love of dishing out assists.
Tim Sherwood praises Andrew Robertson, a star for Liverpool
The evolution of the full-back position was discussed by Sherwood and Harte on The No Tippy Tappy Football Podcast.
Sherwood stated, “That position is evolving all the time.” Five years ago, it was up and down, with more people entering the final third than leaving. But, things have changed since then.
They’re almost able to be the extra midfield player now that they’re pressing inverted into midfield as well.
It moves constantly, those full-back zones. In the game you know, these are the players who receive the most touches; observe the assists.
“And that Robertson, I mean, he and Trent on the other side, and the incredible energy up and down for Liverpool.”
Given his contributions to Liverpool over the years, Robertson could have cost £80 million and still been a great value.
However, considering that he only cost under £10 million, he is undoubtedly one of the finest deals in English football history.

“I have to admit,” Chris Sutton says, referring to the Liverpool player who has disproved him thus far this season.
Chris Sutton, who had previously questioned if the 32-year-old was past his prime, has now acknowledged that he has been proven utterly wrong by a Liverpool player this season.
This season, Jurgen Klopp’s team is still having difficulty on all four fronts, and Virgil Van Dijk has been a major factor in the Reds’ strong play.
After Jordan Henderson left for Saudi Arabia in the summer, the Dutchman was given the armband, and the centre defender has since excelled.
Liverpool has given up the fewest goals in the Premier League so far this year (18), and Sutton acknowledges that his misgivings about the Netherlands international were unfounded.
The former Celtic striker commented on BBC Football Daily, “I have to admit, I wondered whether he could get back to his imperious best as a defender after the injury” (via Rousing The Kop). I used to believe he was the world’s best defender. I simply assumed that he might have lost a garden or something. Perhaps he didn’t feel like the same player and his confidence had taken a slight knock.
However, as the season has progressed, I believe he has gotten better and better. Naturally, he always kind of takesHowever, as the season has progressed, I believe he has gotten better and better. Naturally, he always seems to carry the burden alone, but Liverpool will be happy.
Naturally, van Dijk’s severe knee injury from a few years ago required some time to heal, but he is now showing why so many people consider him to be the best defender in the world.
It’s no accident that Klopp’s team is playing at its peak right now—our No. 4 is also playing at his best—because of his intimidating presence in the backline, which intimidates forwards.
This term, he’s setting an excellent example and would be thrilled to win some hardware in his capacity as Liverpool captain.
