In a stunning twist at Anfield tonight, new Liverpool head coach Arne Slot has unleashed a scathing, no-holds-barred assessment of long-serving left-back Andy Robertson — making it clear the Scottish defender has no future at the club.
With a summer rebuild already underway, the Dutchman did not hold back in a private dressing-room speech that has now leaked into the public domain:
“With all the signings we’ve brought in, Robertson is the first one out the door — no question. I’m sick of his lack of fight, his drop in intensity, and his pointless contributions on the pitch. I never really rated him, and I’m tired of pretending. I kept him around out of respect for the fans, but that’s over. He’s done here. I’m giving him one last window to sort out a transfer — if he’s still here come the new season, he won’t play a single damn minute. I don’t want him anywhere near my team. Get him out — now.”
The message couldn’t be clearer: Slot is drawing a hard line under Robertson’s Liverpool career.
🚪 The Scotland captain, once the embodiment of Klopp’s energetic, high-pressing style, suddenly looks surplus to requirements under the new regime. The bluntness of Slot’s tirade has rocked the dressing room and ignited a social-media firestorm, as fans debate their emotions.
😡 Many supporters have reacted angrily, furious that a player who gave everything for the club is being pushed aside so brutally. Others, however, concede that Robertson’s form has dipped in recent months and that Slot may have a point.
One fan tweeted:
“It’s not even up for discussion — Arne Slot is making a huge mistake. This isn’t just harsh, it’s downright disrespectful.”
💔 Emotions are raw across the fanbase, and some have already gone public to demand Slot show more compassion — or at the very least give Robertson a dignified send-off for the role he played in bringing home Champions League and Premier League titles.
Is this the harsh new face of Liverpool under Slot? Or has the manager overstepped the mark and alienated a club legend too soon?
👀 Either way, all eyes are now on Robertson’s next move — and whether Slot can keep supporters onside during what’s becoming an increasingly tense and unpredictable summer.
