Liverpool's Comeback Clinched: Robertson Sees a Fix, Not a Fluke
6 March 2026
Match recap
Having endured a surprising league defeat to Wolverhampton, Liverpool bounced back with a confident 3-1 victory over Wolves in the FA Cup Round of 16, securing a quarterfinal berth.
Captain Andy Robertson, speaking after the game, welcomed the result as a needed reaction to the recent setback (a 2-1 loss in the Premier League). He stressed the need for consistency and sustained performances across all competitions if Liverpool are to stay in the title race.
Robertson said: "This was much better; we know we let ourselves down on Tuesday. The performance wasn't good enough, and we had to respond with real intent. The FA Cup is a very important competition for us."
On his goal: "I couldn't have struck it better; the chance opened and I hit it cleanly. We're very happy to be through."
Discussing the young left-back Milos Kirkez, he added: "No need to prove myself to the fans; they know the effort I put in." He also praised Kirkez's form, noting that competition is natural as the squad evolves with age of key players.
Robertson finished: "We want to contend for all remaining trophies. If we keep performing like tonight, no one will want to face us, and we must take steps forward without backing off."
Punchline 1: If that performance were a sniper shot, it would hit the target every time. Punchline 2: Liverpool's defense tonight was so tight that even the Wolves left the stadium asking for directions to the exit—and not a single leak in the wall.
