(Reuters) - Liverpool left back Andy Robertson is hopeful the 7-1 thumping of Rangers in the Champions League can ignite their season as they turn their attention to hosting Manchester City in the Premier League on Sunday.
Juergen Klopp's side produced a statement win at Ibrox on Wednesday following a difficult start to the domestic campaign that has left them in 10th place after eight games, 14 points off leaders Arsenal.
"We need to try and get consistency back into our game, into our performances. That's what we have been lacking this season... we have to keep that going, we have to play with that intensity," the Scot told reporters. Robertson was full of praise for forward Mohamed Salah after he came off the bench to score a stunning six-minute hat-trick against Rangers, the fastest in Champions League history.
