English Premier League giants Liverpool have previously monitored U.S. men’s national team left back Antonee Robinson and on Saturday it was Robinson who provided his reported suitors with a positive glimpse.
Robinson registered two assists as Fulham claimed a 2-2 road draw at Anfield with the league leaders. The 27-year-old played a crucial role on both of the Cottagers goals on Merseyside, continuing what has been an impactful season.
Marco Silva’s men struck first in the 11th minute as Robinson kicked off his impactful performance in style. His cross from the left wing was volleyed into the top corner by Andreas Pereira, giving the Cottagers a 1-0 lead.
Liverpool were reduced to 10 men in the 17th minute when left back Andy Robertson was sent off for the denial of a goalscoring opportunity.
Cody Gakpo equalized for Liverpool two minutes into the second half, but Fulham would propel itself back in front.
Robinson’s dangerous run down the left wing led to a low cross that substitute Rodrigo Muniz backheeled into the far-right corner. It marked Robinson’s sixth assist of the Premier League campaign.
However, Liverpool would earn a late share of the spoils when Diogo Jota came off the bench to deliver the tying goal.
Robinson finished the match with four chances created, two tackles completed, and five duels won.
Fulham jumped to ninth in the league table following the result, extending its point streak to four-consecutive matches.
The Cottagers continue league action on December 22 at Craven Cottage against Southampton.
Robinson was an absolutel beast on both sides of the ball! Wildly impressive!!!

What a match that was and what a game by Jedi. Not just his speed and aggression going forward, but locking down one of the best wingers in the world on top of it. He had a really good year last year and seems to have stepped it up even more. Has to be the best LB USMNT has had and a really good dude on top of it.
16 matches, 6 assists & counting friendly reminder- shortest distance between 2 points is a straight line. 2 players are needed to earn an assist. The passer, Jedi (sure), and someone to finish the pass for a goal. My point- it’s not always Jedi the passer’s fault. His job is to cross the ball. It’s a goal scorers job to get on the end of it and score. He’s been a top 10 LB in the world for awhile now. There’s no LB in the world doing standing backflips to celebrate goals. Name one?? There’s no LB more athletic than Jedi. What dey talkin bout?! There’s no LB in the world that covers as much ground as he does. Name one??? There’s no LB in the world that’s ask to do more for his country than Jedi is ask to do. Since 2018, Jedi plays defense for the LW, Left midfield, & LB. He also covers the CBs in case we go down a man. Don’t jump on my thread call me a clown, say his 1st touch sux, say his final 3rd passing is trash, or like Bruce S tell me arrogant for knowing what I’m talking about when it comes to player personnel. Don’t comment about advanced stats on Jedi when you don’t ask for advanced stats on other US players who you hyped up. Just name one LB that covers more ground. Simple. Every top 10 country ranked, right now; everybody (except Messi) is required to play team defense. Messi is the only exception!! Look it up! From Sarachan to GB to Poch, Jedi is required to hold down a whole side of a field. How large is a soccer field again? How many field players? US players are privileged to have him because they work less when he’s on the field. Master of the Obvious could’ve patted himself on the back while pointing this out. It’s about time Americans stop being slow & poo pooing him and blaming him for other players faults. (Scally let’s a 3rd division LB from Jamaica score back post & it’s Jedi fault?! How? He was guarding the throw in!!). Realize what I’ve been saying since 2018. He’s dope asf, has skills to be a good defender & with time he will be the US starting LB. Biggest understatement of 2018!! 28 is prime rib. Grown men is what we need for the US not unproven wet behind the ears teenagers. Why middle age fans keep posting about teenagers, I can’t understand. Do fans know that middle aged adults excited about teen athletes is freaking weird? Especially married men, who aren’t making a living covering this sport. These comments have been seriously boring as of late. Leave to me- I won’t ever be boring.
IO2T,
You sure you aren’t IV in disguise?
What’s your point?
Only if IV has multiple personalities, because IV detests Jedi because he goes past the half line. He believes no defender should ever be more than 30 yds from their own goal. Bunker Bob was too aggressive for IV.
JR,
“He believes no defender should ever be more than 30 yds from their own goal. ”
Don’t select teams have different rules? Like unlimited subs and kick-ins instead of throw ins,
Maybe there is a 30 yd rule like the 21 foot rule in Justified?
Are you well man? Sheesh. What a diatribe.
Antoine Robinson wreaked havoc on the left-hand side of the Liverpool defense. Wave after wave of attack, AR seems to unlock his speed governor on the wing, causing all sorts of problems for both Alexander-Arnold and Curtis Jones lol.
Robinson not only should have have way more than 2 assists BUT HE CAPTAINED THIS TEAM THAT ALMOST BEAT LIVERPOOL IN ANFIELD. Absolutely amazing.
Hearing Ac Milan is trying to offload Theo Hernandez in January opens up that starting spot if Milan make a move for Robinson.
Robinson was awesome today. Will a bigger team come for him? Hard to tell he turns 28 in the summer.
Continued Liverpool rumors. I don’t know if that happens but a big club would be less worried about a 28 yr old because they can just buy a new guy the next year if need be.
Linden Gooch with an assist for Stoke today too. Coming back from injury this week.
