Liverpool left-back Andy Robertson is gunning for Trent Alexander-Arnold’s role as free-kick taker, and he has been showing off his credentials in a recent video on Twitter:

Some supporters on Twitter were impressed with the Scot’s ability to hit the top right and left-hand corners of the goal, although others were not convinced:

Virgil van Dijk backed his teammate on his claim, praising Robertson for his ability:
What a player

It seems the players are doing all they can to stave off the boredom of the lockdown which is currently in place in the UK.
The Premier League are still said to be hopeful of getting the season restarted sometime in mid-May, but much will depend on how the pandemic plays out.
Players will need at least a couple of weeks to get back to full fitness if and when the campaign resumes so at the moment, it is very much a waiting game.
