It's the kind of moment every player who pulls on a Liverpool shirt dreams of.

Anfield bouncing, an atmosphere to die for, a modern day classic unfolding.

And the Kop singing your name, loud and proud.

For Andy Robertson , it was a special moment, one which will live long in the memory.

“It gives you goosebumps,” the Scot reflected after Sunday's win over Manchester City. His smile was as wide as the Anfield pitch.

Robertson had every reason to be pleased with himself, and the crowd had every reason to sing for him. His 12 game for Liverpool was his best to date.

“Magnificent,” was how the ECHO's Andy Kelly described his performance. Elsewhere, his one-man press of the City defence was hailed as the moment of the match, a 15-second spell which summed up the energy, emotion and desire of the Reds' display.

Like Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain , another summer signing, there is a serious player emerging here. Alberto Moreno started the season as Liverpool's left-back but the Spaniard, fit again after an ankle injury, has a fight on his hands if he's to regain his place now.

There's a lesson here somewhere. A lesson about judging players before they've been given a chance, about trusting the judgement of a manager, and about showing patience in a world which has an ever-decreasing supply of it.

Robertson was by no means a big-name purchase, nor a big-money one. At £10m, his arrival was seen by some as another example of Liverpool attempting to do things cheaply, in a summer when a new, top-class left back was desperately needed.

We've all done it, we've all judged transfers and come to snap conclusions - don't think this writer isn't guilty of that, by the way!

But like Oxlade-Chamberlain, a more established player but one whose signing was greeted with similar scepticism, we have seen not only Klopp's eye for a player, but the benefits of his patient approach once they are in the building.

Neither player were thrust straight in and told to swim – Robertson played just two Premier League games before December, Oxlade-Chamberlain didn't start one until November. “They need time,” was the manager's message; time to settle, time to acclimatise, time to get their heads round their new surroundings and a new, specific way of playing football.

Early days, still, but that time looks to have been well spent. Oxlade-Chamberlain looks sharper, stronger and more confident than ever, while Robertson's aggression has been a standout in recent weeks. Young, quick and hungry; both look like they are grasping what is required to play in one of Europe's fittest, most dynamic teams.

They'll need to keep that up, of course. Nothing is won yet, for all that an 18-game unbeaten run should be celebrated; being a Liverpool player is about doing it for years, not weeks. There will be downs as well as ups, you can be sure of that.

But while all the noise is about transfers, replacing Philippe Coutinho and spending big in the market, these two serve as a neat little reminder.

Sometimes, Liverpool's manager knows exactly what he's doing. And sometimes, he and his recruitment team get it spot on.
