The Scotland international increased his assist tally to five against Fulham last weekend when, eight minutes into the second half, he swung in a brilliant cross that Xherdan Shaqiri cushioned beyond the goalkeeper.
Robertson himself later went close to increasing the final scoreline of 2-0 but had a powerful drive stopped by Sergio Rico, meaning the left-back remains on one Reds goal.
That’s a statistic the No.26 would like to change soon, though not at the expense of his position at the summit of the team’s assist chart so far this season – or his defensive duties.
“It was close,” he told Liverpoolfc.com of his chance to net on Sunday.
“We did a shooting session [in training ahead of the game] and I scored two; the gaffer pulled me afterwards and said, ‘I’m so proud of you!’ Obviously he was just joking!
“I thought to just get a clean contact – the ‘keeper has made a good save. I think I could have done better with it. Hopefully it’s coming but I’m happy to hopefully keep giving assists and clean sheets, that’s my bread and butter.”
Watch: Robbo's five assists this season
Robertson continued: “I love assisting because it’s a lot more natural to me than scoring. If I can help the team by putting a cross in for Shaq – and he made a great finish – it’s always nice to get an assist and contribute going forward.
“We have had a lot of clean sheets this season and we need to keep doing that because if we get a clean sheet, that’s half the battle to win the game.”
