Robertson: Manchester City like this can beat any opponent in the Premier League. The result might have been different if the ball had not been blown.

November 11th: Liverpool lost 0-3 to Manchester City in the Premier League. Robertson accepted a media interview after the game.

Talking about the cancellation of Van Dijk's goal, Robertson said: "I think initially they were checking to see if I was in the goalkeeper's sight, and I think everyone can rule that out. I think if they said that, then obviously there would be a bigger problem. But it was obvious that I was not in the goalkeeper's sight, but I think they later changed the story slightly and said that it was obviously because I ducked, but in my opinion, it made me become Shorter, so it should be easier for the goalkeeper to see the ball, and I don't think Donnarumma would have been able to save that ball anyway, that's my opinion."

"I don't think anyone would disagree with that, but the referee called the foul and obviously the linesman raised the flag for offside, and then the video assistant referee stepped in, and you thought it would be a completely valid goal, but then they obviously played the reasoning on the big screen, which made us all feel. "It's one of those things where it's very difficult for the referee to call it. "I feel sorry for the referee obviously, you're counting on VAR to help him out. I think people are saying now that there was a very similar example at Manchester City against Wolves last season, but it was obviously a gray area and it was a goal that could have put us back in the game. We probably didn't deserve the equalizer at the time, so that was a key turning point in the game. "It was a tough game and I thought they were better than us in the first half. I thought they made it very difficult for us and I thought they played really well and sometimes you have to admit it and I felt like we weren't at the level we've shown in the last two games."

" I thought we scored a perfectly fine goal when we were 1-0 down and if you made it 1-1 when you probably didn't deserve it, it could have completely changed everything, but then you just have to keep playing and then we conceded a deflected goal, which was really frustrating."

"Then in the second half, I felt we fought hard and maybe could have done with those crosses. The pass in front of the goal scored, but our performance was not at our best today. I thought they played a very, very good game. It's hard to answer because we were extremely disappointed to lose 0-3 to Manchester City, but I think with the way Manchester City played today, they can beat any opponent in the league."

"In my opinion, if they play like they did today, they can beat every opponent in the league we faced today. It was a very strong Manchester City but if we had shown true Liverpool quality today the result might have been different and that's where we fell short and that's where we were frustrated. "

"Obviously, 0-3 is not a good-looking result, extremely frustrating and I'm sure we'll be very sorry but the important thing now is, apart from today, this week. It's been a good week overall. We've been improving, we've had two very good games, and I thought we were OK in some parts today. "The important thing now is that when we come back into the international break, we want to keep going because I think everyone said that and we need to continue to perform well now and see where that takes us."
