“It’s all because of him.” Robertson on Gвардиола and the APL titles
“It’s all because of him.” Robertson’s comments about Gвардиола and the EPL titles Liverpool defender Andy Robertson admitted in an open comment that Manchester City’s dominance has become the biggest obstacle to Merseyside’s chances of winning more EPL titles. “We should have won more championships if it weren’t for this man,” said the Scottish player, referring directly to Pep Gвардиола. Over the past six seasons, City has won five EPL titles, turning English football into a battlefield of tactical perfection. Under Jurgen Klopp’s leadership, Liverpool managed to break this dominance twice, but each time they faced a team whose depth, rotation, and adaptability were unparalleled. Robertson, who played in all the key matches at Anfield, knows the value of every lost point. Robertson’s comments aren’t meant as complaints, but rather as a professional assessment. In modern EPL, victory requires a flawless season, from start to finish. Gвардиола has set such high standards that even teams with championship potential must pay for any minor mistakes. For Liverpool, this means playing at their limits without any room for error. Today, Robertson continues to set standards on the flanks. The club is undergoing a transformation under the new coaching staff. But his words remain an important indicator of this era: in EPL, greatness isn’t measured by the number of titles won, but also by the quality of resistance faced. As long as Gвардиола remains in charge, every title won isn’t just a victory over a opponent, but a triumph over the system that the Spaniard has redefined.
