Liverpool previously lost 0-3 to Manchester City in the Premier League. Robertson accepted media interviews 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 their story slightly and said that it was obviously because I lowered my head to dodge, but in my opinion, it made me change It was shorter, so it should have been easier for the goalkeeper to see the ball, and I don't think Donnarumma could have saved 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. "People are extremely frustrated. But it's one of those things where it's a difficult penalty for the referee to give. "I feel sorry for the referee obviously, and 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 that goal was scored, so it's obviously a very frustrating area and that goal could have put us back in the game. Although we probably didn't deserve the equalizer at the time, it was a key turning point in the game."

"It was a tough game, 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 very well, and sometimes you have to admit it, and I feel like we didn't play at the level we have shown in the last two games."

"I think we made it very difficult. A perfectly fine goal when you were down 1-0 and if you made it 1-1 when you probably didn't deserve it, that could have completely changed everything. Yeah, I don't agree with the reasons they gave, 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 sweeps. Passing the ball to get a goal, but we were not at our best today and 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. "It's a very strong 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 will be very sorry but the important thing now is, apart from today, this whole week. It's been a good week physically. We've been improving, we played two very good games, and I thought we played OK in some parts today. "The important thing now is that when we come back into the international break, we want to continue to move forward, because I think everyone said that, we need to continue to perform well now and see where this takes us."
