Robertson says Liverpool players are not following fans' lead after Watford loss

Andy Robertson insists Liverpool's players aren't letting their status as likely Premier League champions go to their heads despite the manner of their first league loss of the season at Watford .  The Reds went down 3-0 at Vicarage Road as their 44-match unbeaten run came to a shuddering halt thanks to a brace from Ismaila Sarr and a Troy Deeney strike.   With closest challengers Manchester City in Carabao Cup final action this weekend, Liverpool's lead at the top remains a surely insurmountable 22 points, as they need a maximum of four wins from their remaining 10 games to guarantee a first top-flight title in 30 years.  In recent weeks Liverpool supporters have been heard chanting that the club are soon to be crowned champions, but Robertson says that the players aren't sharing the same sense of inevitability.

Today we were hoping to make it only three wins away but we’re still four wins away and it’s going to be tough but we believe we can do it."  Robertson also said sorry to fans for the manner of the display.

It’s up to us to bounce back," he said.   “Up to this point it has still been a fantastic season but today we weren’t at the races, we weren’t the Liverpool that everyone has watched.  “It’s up to us to now get back to that because that’s the only way we’re going to win games and get closer to our targets.”
