Jack Robinson’s Liverpool future
Possessing ability certainly doesn’t mean though that he will succeed in becoming a Premier League star, as the right attitude is also required. Something that he demonstrated when he used his great energy and speed to chase down a ball which looked certain to go out for a goal kick. He managed to control the ball before it went across the white line but failed to keep his footing to ensure it stayed in play.
I am certainly not suggesting he is ready to start at the moment, but for me he at least deserves to be the understudy, in conjunction with Fabio Aurelio, to any new left back that comes in. One of the reasons I differ to some Liverpool fans on the future of Emiliano Insua is because I feel the Argentine could hold back Robinson if he does stay at the club. For me, Robinson has the greater potential out of the two, not necessarily in the attacking third but purely because he can outdo Insua in both speed and strength, essential elements in the Premier League, and something which will help become a solid defender too. Let’s wait and see what King Kenny’s judgement is on the situation though.

Not sure to be honest, seems like a decent defender but he doesn’t go forward at all.
The game has changed and he looks a bit old school. That however could be what hes been told to do. Maybe he has a better future at centre back.
he is very good and i think he will be better use at left back with andre wisdom at centre back, he has loads of time to improve because he is still 17.
We should all support Darren Clarke and Thomas Bjorn in the Open today – both are big LFC fans – YNWA!
d guy future is bright at d club liverpool in future i could remember when liverpool played against arsenal when aurielo had injury he came in as a substitute and he marked walcot out of d game
I agree with this but hopefully Kenny saw what happened with Insua when Rafa seemed to overplay him (looking back he had to because Aurelio was injured and the other left back was Dossena) but if we dont overplay him i completely agree he could play for Liverpool for quite some time and the left back spot wont be an issue any more as it has been since Riise left. Good article.
Maybe Wisdom has a lot to learn about right back because he has always played at center back.
Robinson is definitely going to be one of the best left backs in the world if he fulfills his potential. But i don’t agree that Insua will hold back his progress. I think Liverpool need to sell Aurelio because he is not good enough for Liverpool, not because he is bad player but because he plays very few games every season. I think Robinson is not yet ready for regular first team action, so i would like Liverpool to keep Insua as second choice leftback to whoever Liverpool buy this summer and sell Aurelio and play Jack in cup games. So when Jack is ready for first team, we can always sell Insua and we will definitely get higher price than we will get for selling him now. Insua is a really good player, his link up play is good and he is one of the better crossers in our team, so he will be useful for us. But i think Aurelio is a liability, had he been injury free he would be among best leftbacks in the league but its a pity.
Wot utter rubbish abt wisdom! He’s a bit further back with development? How can he be? Hea a centre half being played at right back! If you support Liverpool you should really know players postions
Jesus !!!!
He wants to get rid of the fit , healthy & capable Insua for the delicate sickly inconsistent , 5 games per season 30+ yr old Fabio Injurio & cites his reason as being he thinks Insua will hold his teen dream back !!!???
Someone please ban those Hairdressers from trying to write about football PLEASEEEEEEEEE !!!!!!!??????
have u guys ever known any leftback as unfit as Aurellio(aka ‘injured without making contact with anybody’)?
