Change is coming at Anfield, and for Andy Robertson, that means direct competition. On the latest Molby On The Spot podcast from Anfield Index, former Liverpool midfielder Jan Molby offered a heartfelt but clear-eyed assessment of Robertson’s situation as the club eyes a new left-back signing this summer.
While there’s no doubting Robertson’s iconic status – “he’s already a Liverpool legend,” said Trev Downey – the feeling within the club seems to be that evolution is needed. Robertson, now 31, has missed chunks of the season through injury and, as Molby noted, “there’s a feeling that the team now needs to be upgraded in that position.”
But Molby was adamant that this next chapter won’t be quietly accepted by the Scotland captain.

Molby: “He won’t take it lying down”Jan Molby didn’t hesitate when describing the attitude he expects from Robertson in the face of increased competition. “He won’t take it lying down,” Molby said simply, a phrase loaded with admiration and expectation.
Molby continued: “That boy’s got that bit of spite in him – in the best possible way. He’s not going to roll over just because someone’s been brought in.”
Downey agreed, saying Robertson’s competitive edge and character are what made him a fan favourite in the first place. “He came from Hull, worked his way into one of the best teams in Europe, and played a massive role in every trophy we won under Klopp.”
What Comes Next?It’s clear from the conversation that Molby respects the tactical shift underway under new manager Arne Slot. While Robertson remains a potent attacking threat, particularly in transition, Liverpool are reportedly looking for a more hybrid-style left-back – one who can invert and contribute in buildup play in a slightly different way.
Molby believes that while Robertson may not perfectly fit that evolving mould, he’ll fight tooth and nail to prove he still has a place. “He’ll look at whoever’s coming in and say: ‘You’re going to have to be bloody good to take this shirt off me.’”
It’s a moment of transition for the squad – the end of an era in some ways – but as Molby said, “You don’t lose your hunger overnight, and Robbo’s not that kind of character.”
Robertson’s Role in a New LiverpoolWhether he remains first-choice or not, there’s little doubt Andy Robertson will be central to Liverpool’s 2025/26 campaign. Leadership, experience, and mentality all count for something – especially in a team undergoing structural change.
Molby closed the discussion with a measured but powerful statement: “If he has to adapt or share minutes, he will – but don’t expect him to disappear quietly. That’s not Robbo.”

Наставник "Ливерпуля" Арне Слот подтвердил, что защитник Трент Александер-Арнольд возвращается в строй.
Александер-Арнольд не играет за "Ливерпуль" с матча Лиги Чемпионов против ПСЖ 11 марта, когда он получил травму лодыжки.
Трент едва возобновил тренировки и может попасть в число запасных "Ливерпуля" на матч Премьер-Лиги против "Лестера" в воскресенье.
Что касается слухов о том, что Трент договорился с "Реалом", то Слот не придает этому значения и не сомневается в самоотдаче 26-летнего англичанина в остатке сезона.
"Трент возвращается после травмы, он тренировался с нами вчера, и каждый раз, когда он играет за нас или тренируется с нами, он демонстрирует свою самоотдачу".
"Он так упорно трудился, чтобы набрать свою текущую форму, и то, что он уже выходит на тренировочное поле, говорит, каким отличным футболистом он является и как сильно он предан достижению наших целей на этот сезон".
"Он так упорно трудился весь сезон и во время своей реабилитации. Фанаты "Ливерпуля" и каждый, кто смотрел футбол последние пять, шесть или семь лет, знают, что он был и остается невероятным крайним защитником для этого клуба, и давайте посмотрим, что случится в будущем".
"Он не готов к выходу в старте, но если сегодня и завтра все будет хорошо, он может оказаться на лавке. Но в старте точно не выйдет, потому что он пропустил пять с половиной недель, и сегодня была его первая тренировка с командой".
"Было бы мило, если Трент будет с нами в этот уикенд", — цитирует Слота Evening Standard.

Главный тренер "Ливерпуля" Арне Слот заявил, что это уже будет "большое лето", если его клуб просто сохранит имеющихся игроков.
Незадолго до того, как заключить новый контакт, капитан "Ливерпуля" Виргил Ван Дейк заявил, что ожидает увидеть "большое лето" в исполнении своего клуба.
Это было воспринято как намек на планы "Ливерпуля" насчет приобретений, однако Слоту будет достаточно, если защитник Трент Александер-Арнольд последует примеру Ван Дейка и Мохамеда Салаха, продлив свой истекающий контракт.
"Это уже большое лето. Речь была о большой вещи — сможем ли мы удержать их? И то, что мы удержали уже двух из них, означает, что это уже большое лето, и давайте посмотрим, что принесет оставшееся лето".
"С моей стороны было бы странно говорить, что я недоволен имеющимся подбором игроков, потому что я уже год говорю, что доволен. Возможно, если мы сможем сохранить эту команду, это уже будет большое лето".
"Давайте посмотрим, что принесет будущее", — цитирует Слота BBC.
--> Экс-защитник "Ливерпуля" Джейми Каррагер уверен, что новый контракт нападающего Мохамеда Салаха поможет "красным" с летними приобретениями.
В прошлую пятницу "Ливерпуль" объявил, что Салах заключил новый контракт до 2027 года. Таким образом, "красные" предотвратили уход Мохамеда свободным агентом в конце сезона.
Каррагер считает, что возможность играть бок о бок с Салахом станет козырем для "Ливерпуля" при работе на трансферном рынке.
"Это поможет не столько игрокам "Ливерпуля" сейчас, сколько игрокам "Ливерпуля" в будущем, а также с теми, кем они будут интересоваться летом".
"Когда они будут разговаривать с игроками и агентами в ближайшие месяцы, им поможет тот факт, что Мо Салах остается в клубе на следующий сезон", — цитирует Каррагера Sky Sports.
