Liverpool's Andy Robertson successor is already LOVED by fans
Liverpool are seeing their natural Andy Robertson successor win over fans immediately. Can he force his way into the first team at Anfield?
Andy Robertson has come under pressure this season after some difficult displays to start the campaign. The Scot saw that pressure rise considerably against Arsenal last weekend as Bukayo Saka embarrassed him, quite frankly, to score the opener.
We would argue that Robertson hasn't been quite as bad as some have made out. Still, this is the worst form he's had in a Liverpool shirt - a bad sign at 30.

Adding even more pressure is Owen Beck. The left-back is out on loan with Blackburn Rovers and didn't exactly take long to have fans raving about him.
Now he's got the BBC Radio Lancashire sports editor, Andy Bayes, pointing out just how good he's been. Fans are loving him, he points out.
Owen Beck earning rave reviews
"Beck has made the left-back position his own after an impressive debut at Burnley," writes Bayes. "The only disappointment has come in the form of a late sending-off at Preston, which saw him sit out three games.
"He has been all-action, shown excellent one-on-one defending and is equally impressive going forward. He has taken on set-piece responsibilities too.
"It is fair to say that Rovers fans have already taken him to their hearts."
Liverpool have had fantastic success sending players out to Blackburn in recent years. Harvey Elliott developed rapidly at Ewood Park, while Tyler Morton proved himself to be a genuine first-team option for the Reds while over there.
Now Beck is doing something similar. He's also doing it at a time when Liverpool's left-back position suddenly looks weaker than it has for some time.
If he keeps this up, Beck could well force his way into that first-team squad.
