Liverpool fullback Andrew Robertson: Pressure greater at Hull

Liverpool fullback Andrew Robertson insists there's no real title pressure in their battle with Manchester City.

Robertson crashed out of the ­Premier League TWICE with Hull – in 2015 and again two years later.

On title pressure, he said: “We have ­spoken about that at meetings, but, trust me, it's a lot nicer feeling to be going for a title than fighting relegation.

"I have experienced it twice and, especially the first time, I had to deal with the consequences.

"We went down to the ­Championship and I saw people lose their jobs and players getting 50 per cent wage reductions, ­having to go down a league and ultimately failing the fans and those connected with the club.

“That is a different pressure. It is not a nice one.

“Thankfully, this is an enjoyable pressure, going for a title, for trophies and medals, bragging rights and everything

"So, for me, this pressure is a lot easier to deal with than the one of relegation."
