Liverpool defender Robertson laments Brighton fight-back: Slack passing; we must do better

Liverpool defender Andrew Robertson admits the manner of their 2-2 draw with Brighton wasn't good enough.

The Reds blew a 2-0 lead to drop two points at home.

Robertson told the club's website: "Yeah, which can happen. When you're 2-0 up in a game, I think over the years so many people have said it's the most dangerous scoreline in football because the next goal is so crucial.

"When you don't get it, you then have an opposition that believe they can get back on level terms. That's unfortunately what happened here today. But we've got to be better than that, we've got to get our foot on the ball again, we've got to play.

"I think too many slack passes started going and they were picking up second balls and they were hitting us on the counter-attack, which we also have to stop. Look, there's a lot of things we can look at – good stuff from the first half and maybe not-so-good stuff in the second half. But when you're 2-0 up in this league and it's so competitive, you have to hold on I think."
