Andy Robertson had some words of advice for Milos Kerkez, after Sunday’s 1-0 win at Burnley.
The Liverpool vice captain replaced the 21-year-old late in the first half after the former Bournemouth defender had picked up an early yellow card in the game.
“He is only young and I think we forget that,” said Robbo. “You try to help them as much as you can but you want to put pressure on them and you want to play games.
“He will be the starting left-back for Liverpool in the future and it’s up to me to push him this season and help him improve.
“He just needs to keep working hard and not let this affect him – which it won’t as he’s a confident lad, and I’ll help him as much as I can.
“It’s a massive jump. I came from Hull and he’s come from Bournemouth, and it’s probably quite similar. There are a lot more eyes on you in a Liverpool jersey than at those two clubs.
“He has transitioned well. There’s a lot of information and a lot of different ways of playing, and he just needs to keep going and keep his confidence.
“I have no doubt in the future he will be a fantastic left-back for Liverpool and that’s the main thing.”
