# Liverpool: Fans react to Andrew Robertson playing on the right

**Many Liverpool fans have been angered on Twitter, following news that their defender Andrew Robertson started on the right-hand side of defence for Scotland in their World Cup qualifying match against Denmark \[[BBC](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/58325431)\].**

Walking into the game with no natural right-back figure due to COVID-19 related issues, former Reds assistant manager now Scotland head-coach Steve Clarke made the surprise decision to start Robertson at right wing-back in Copenhagen over Kieran Tierney \[[BBC](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/58325431)\].

Not proving to be a success and achieving a match rating of just 5/10 in [The Daily Record](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/scotland-player-ratings-kieran-tierney-24889824) newspaper, the 27-year-old was restored to his more natural berth at left-wing back for the second half.

Upon seeing this unusual turn of events, no wonder loads of diehard Liverpool fans took to Twitter to vent their frustration at the occurrence.

Replying to popular Liverpool FC fan outlet This is Anfield on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/thisisanfield/status/1433149205137272834), here is what some fans had to say about Robertson filling in on the right:

**“Ye bit weird, taking away a big part of Robertson’s game not being able to bomb down the line and whip it in, think Tierney would be alright at RB and just sit and do a solid job defensively”**
