As it stands, his long-term future remains uncertain, having battled with summer signing Kerkez for a starting spot this season.While his display at Molineux may have proven a point to Slot over his position in the team, Robertson simply doesn't see it that way, and his simple comment on Kerkez' ability made it clear he has plenty of admiration for his teammate.He said after the game: "I'm not sure if I have a point to prove in a Liverpool shirt.
