Liverpool full-back Andrew Robertson insists that the whole team will have a part to play in their bid to finish in the top four and progress in the Champions League.

Liverpool full-back Andrew Robertson has insisted that the whole team has a role to play in helping the club secure a top-four spot and progress in the Champions League.

The Reds have often been praised for their attacking prowess this season, with Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino in particular earning plaudits for a string of impressive performances.

However, Robertson was keen to point out the contribution of goalkeeper Loris Karius during Sunday's 2-0 win over Southampton and believes that Jurgen Klopp's side have more to them than simply attacking flair.

"Now it's about the Champions League and progressing in Europe, but we also want to cement our place in the top four because we want to be in the Champions League every year," Robertson is quoted as saying by The Mirror.

"We've got two big aims between now and the end of the season, and that will drive us forward. Of course, people say it's the front players who will make the difference, but I think everyone can make a difference.

"Mo has come in and got 22 goals, Bobby's got his 20th against Southampton, and they are the ones who are putting us in front. Then big Loris made some important saves and that kept us going – from game to game it will always change.

"We're sitting in the top four now, and we're in a good position, but there's still a long way to go. We've got a wee bit of momentum going again but we need to keep it going because we've achieved nothing at this point. We've got a 25-man squad, everyone's desperate to start, and the manager's got a tough job just picking the 11."

Liverpool will face Porto in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie on Wednesday night.
