He’s a decent player playing awful at the moment. It’s not a patch, it’s been all season. Let’s hope he gets back to how we was and soon. If he does he’s a decent left back.
Those “better than Robertson” shouts last season were embarrassing though so please can we stop with those....

He's not the only one though is he? Can we question Silva's fitness regime and medical staff, plus the low intensity preseason we had now? I was doing it before he got the sack but was told it wasn't a issue. Fitness and intensity is clearly a major issue.

You probably have a point. But fitness has nothing to do with taking dreadful set pieces and giving the ball away so cheaply. These are basics for pro footballers who also btw, have a very good base level of fitness. Your point would excuse a lacklustre end to the season or even end of matches. But to excuse such consistent, dismal form across most of the team on fitness is unrealistic. Considering sidibe didn’t have any pre season and plays with more intensity than most would also put that argument to bed.
Also, did you see the Chelsea and Man U games? The fitness and intensity is there....

Maybe his confidence is down too?Wouldnt surprise me, he also plays better with Bernard, they link up better.
 

How can you expect him to influence us up high in the pitch when we lack both a pacey CB to cover and/or a competent DM to break up play / drop in when needed?

The better than Robertson shouts were perfectly valid at the time though, and his poor performances this season don’t change that. At his best he’s very, very, good. Unfortunately I don’t think we’ve seen his best once this season for some reason.

Why are people so scared of saying Digne is better than Robertson? Stop doing Kopites work for them! I absolutely believe that when both are on top form Digne is far superior...in all areas of his game.Just at this moment in time he's hit a rut.

Digne is better technically but Robertson is a far better defender to be fair, Robertson has the pace etc to get himself out of difficult positions

Both excellent though aren't they

Robertson is a bad grass though

Robertson is a amazing crosser as well as Digne, who got the most assists

Digne is the better footballer. Robertson is playing in a better system (and is an integral part of it tbf).

Mate if you watched Robertson every week, there’s no way in a million years you’d have anyone tell you digne was better than him. Every neutral in the premier league would side with Robertson. 100 out of 100. In fact, everyone bar evertonians would have chilwell ahead of him. We just get caught up in it so easily. I was gutted we didn’t go for robertson my mates a hull fan and told me how good he was. He was a steal. How do dignes poor performances this season not change that statement? Bizarre quote.
