Liverpool fullback Robertson: We should be happy sitting in third

Liverpool left-back Andy Robertson opened up about the Premier League title race.

The Scotland star is back in action and is ready to help his team in the run in.

While the Reds are out of Europe and the FA Cup, they still have the Premier LEague title to dream about.

After beating Fulham, Robertson said of the title race that involves themselves, Manchester City, and Arsenal: "We're third favourites to outside people.

"But I think a lot of Liverpool fans would have taken this position at the start of the season. We have to maybe remind ourselves of that."

When asked if they lacked belief, he said: "Oh, I never said we didn't expect that [to win]!.

"Just that Liverpool fans maybe didn't. But we believed in our squad at the start of this season. We knew it was a kind of restart, the gaffer was calling it 2.0 and things like that. We believed in the ability coming into the squad and the ability that was already there.

"We believe in ourselves, of course we do. But we're in a position that we are happy to be in, in the title race, this late on. But at the end of the day, there will be two disappointed teams. We have to do everything we can to try and put us in a position where we are not one of them.

"Obviously it's not our hands. We're up against two extremely good teams as well. We're into the sprinting part of the season. A full season is a marathon but you do get to a sprint finish. You can't rely on other teams to drop points. You have to focus on what you're doing. Arsenal and Man City will be doing the exact same thing.

"And like I said, I think Liverpool fans would have bitten your hand off to be involved in that at the start of the season. Now it's up to us to try and keep pushing and see where it ends up."
