Liverpool fullback Andrew Robertson insists there's positives to draw from their Carabao Cup defeat at Manchester City.

The holders were knocked out 3-2 on Thursday night.

But Robertson said: "There were positives, creating chances, sometimes we looked good on the ball but there were mistakes as well. It's our first game back in a long time and it's not often you're first game back is against Manchester City.

"We wanted to stay in this cup, we know how much joy it brought us last season. Ultimately disappointing but when we look at the clips we will be able to take positives.

"It's a good game, both sets of players were out on their feet, we always raise our games against each other. We didn't start great, go behind, Fabio scored a fabulous goal, we went behind early in the second half, reacted so well, had a couple of chances, then we switched off at a short corner.

"These are things that can't happen - their changing room will be a lot happier than ours."
