Robertson: 'We can challenge on all fronts'

Liverpool full-back Andrew Robertson insists that his side are capable of challenging on all fronts this season ahead of the start of their Champions League campaign.

Liverpool full-back Andrew Robertson has insisted that his side are aiming to challenge on all fronts this season.

The Reds are one of only two teams still with a 100% record in the Premier League this term courtesy of five wins from five games so far, including a 2-1 triumph over Tottenham Hotspur at Wembley on Saturday.

Liverpool will also begin their Champions League campaign on Tuesday when they host French champions Paris Saint-Germain, having made it all the way to the final of the competition last season.

"Without being ahead of ourselves, we do believe going into every game that we can win. Of course, because we're Liverpool, we're a big club, and we do believe that. That's a big club's mentality," Robertson told reporters.

"When you're in every trophy, you go to win them. As simple as that. We've got League Cup next week, and it will be the exact same when the FA Cup starts. As long as you're in tournaments, you've got to go and try to win them, especially at a big club like this.

"Consistency is key. That's how Man City won last season. Consistently they were so good, and that's why they ran away with it. The start that we've had is very good, we've won every game that's been put in front of us. We just need to keep continuing.

"But the first five games don't win you a league. But they can set you in a nice way to really compete. 15 points from 15 is always pleasing. But now we need to kick on and keep continuing that."

Liverpool have won their opening five matches of a top-flight season for only the third time in their history, and the first since 1990-91.
