Robertson fumes after Liverpool concede first again in Man Utd defeat

Andy Robertson has lamented another slow start from Liverpool in Monday night's loss to Manchester United.

The Reds were downed 2-1 at Old Trafford, leaving them searching for their first win of the season.

Jurgen Klopp's side also conceded first in previous matches with Fulham and Crystal Palace, and Robertson wants his side to stop leaking goals.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Robertson said: "We give every team a goal start which is the base of the game, we can't give ourselves an uphill battle. That is what needs to change, we can't keep going behind. In the warm up it was the quietest I have heard this stadium and they wanted something to lift them and we gave them it.

"Two points from nine is not the start we wanted. We need to pick up our performances individually and collectively.

"We can't keep this going on out there, it is easy to talk about it in the changing room but we have to go out and do it. We can't keep conceding goals.

"They started better than us today. It needs to change."
