Robertson's emotional message to Roberto Firmino and picks favourite 'Bobby moment'

Andy Robertson claims Liverpool's success "wouldn't have been possible" without the departing Roberto Firmino.

"The best way to sum up Bobby’s contribution to Liverpool would be that, without him, nothing would have been possible.

"The way we wanted to play, the way we went about our business, everything started with Bobby, with his pressing and his technical ability. He was our main man.

When you look back on the great moments, Bobby was always involved in them — such an important player in helping us achieve the success that we did."

Robertson continued

"My favourite Bobby moment would probably be his hat-trick against Arsenal at home (in December 2018)," said the left-back. "We went behind early doors and then the way we reacted was unbelievable to win 5-1. Bobby started it."

There was that goal he scored where he dribbled past about five of their players — they were all falling at his feet. That summed up how incredibly talented he is as a player and what a good football brain he’s got."

Robertson also added: “Bobby, you’ll be missed. I’ve loved every moment of playing with you for the past six years. It’s been an amazing time.

"You’re such a special player and such a special person to share a changing room with. I want to wish you and your family all the best with whatever the future holds for you. I know you’ll be successful wherever you go.”
