Liverpool left-back Andrew Robertson feels that missing out on the Premier League title last season has motivated them to go all the way this season.
The Reds accumulated 97 points last season but lost the title to Manchester City by one point. Robertson believes that the other teams in the Premier League will be waiting to watch the Champions League winners drop points. But Jurgen Klopp’s men have learnt their lesson from last season and are prepared to win their first Premier League title.
Liverpool are five points clear of City after their 2-1 win over Chelsea but the Scotland international insists they can’t afford to rest on their laurels.
“It’s all about winning games and to keep on moving forward, so we cannot dwell on [the win over Chelsea],” Robertson said, according to Goal.
“We have got another big week coming up and we just focus on our own game, we don’t focus on anything else other than that.
“There are big challenges ahead and we need to keep ticking them off. In this period, if we can keep it going until the internationals and keep looking at the fixtures then that is what we’ll do. We’ve got a tough run but if we can get to the next internationals with positive results then we’ll be in a very good place.
“Hopefully we can go one better than last season in terms of finishing second. We won the Champions League but we want the Premier League and hopefully this season we do that. But, there is a long, long way to go and everyone behind us will be waiting for us to drop points.
“So I am sure they will be ready to pounce, so we need to be ready for that and I think last season has helped us massively for that.”
