Andy Robertson shared that the senior players of Liverpool conveyed a “don’t panic” sentiment to the squad following last Sunday’s 2-1 loss to Manchester United at Anfield, marking the fourth consecutive defeat for the reigning Premier League champions.
However, Liverpool broke their losing streak with a convincing 5-1 victory in the Champions League against Eintracht Frankfurt on Wednesday. They are now focused on securing their first league win since mid-September in an upcoming match against Brentford on Saturday.
Robertson, who recently started in Frankfurt after losing his left-back position to summer signing Milos Kerkez, emphasized the importance of remaining calm for Liverpool to regain their form amid the current struggle.
“Ending a losing streak quickly is vital,” Robertson stated to reporters. “The message from the leaders following the Manchester United match was clear: ‘Don’t panic.’

“We know we need to raise our performance levels, both with and without the ball. If we achieve that, the results should follow.
“Fortunately, we did just that, and once we went 3-1 up against Frankfurt, it was great to see the lads enjoying themselves on the pitch. That’s what we aim for—players enjoying their time at this club, scoring, and creating goals.
“A 5-1 win in the Champions League is a rare achievement, and such nights should be embraced. We hope everyone can learn from this experience.”
“However, it’s just one win, and we have more work ahead. The next game is just two days away, and we need to quickly move on and build a winning streak instead of continuing with losses.”
Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk and midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai also noted that the squad convened a players’ meeting after the defeat against United to discuss their issues.
Robertson explained that communication within the dressing room has been consistent, regardless of the outcomes of matches.
“We always talk in the dressing room—whether we’ve won five consecutive games or not,” he said. “It’s a normal part of post-match discussions, whether in small or large groups.
“It wasn’t about panic; instead, it was more about encouraging each other to maintain focus. As long as we stick together, things will turn around.”
“Looking at the quality we have in our squad, it’s impressive, and if we can showcase that daily, success will follow.”
“After Frankfurt, everyone was calm. We’re just glad to have ended the losing streak with a 5-1 victory—no special reactions needed.”
