Robertson urges calm as Liverpool battle for top four

Liverpool fullback Andy Roberston believes they can finish in the top four of the Premier League.

The Reds missed a chance to continue their recent league resurgence, drawing with Crystal Palace at the weekend.

Despite dropping two points, Robertson still believes they are heading in the right direction.

"Look, when you come to Crystal Palace it is always a tough game, we've seen that over the years and tonight was no different," Robertson told the Liverpool Echo.

"I thought in the first half we were really good, started on the front foot, created some openings where we just couldn't quite pick the last pass and stuff like that.

"The second half, I don't think we were as good. They tweaked a couple of things, shut down our spaces that we had in the first half and it was difficult. We had to dig deep but we've kept a clean sheet away from home, which is a positive and we had that chance just after the second half when Mo hits the bar, you know, on a different night that goes in.

"But look, we have to be better, we know we do but we take the point and that's now three clean sheets in a row in the Premier League and you have to keep moving and take the positives."
