Andrew Robertson says Liverpool are not showing nerves in the Premier League title race

Andrew Robertson denied Liverpool are showing signs of nerves after being held to a second successive draw.

The Reds have dropped seven points in their last five games following Monday's 1-1 draw at West Ham and Manchester City can overtake them on goal difference at the top of the Premier League if they beat Everton on Wednesday.

It is 29 years since Liverpool's last league title but Robertson says the players aren't feeling any added pressure.

"I wouldn't say nerves are showing, did anyone say that when Manchester City picked up no points at [Crystal] Palace and Leicester?" he said. "I don't think they did.

"A lot of people talk about pressure because we've not been in this position but it's February.

Manchester City are in a good moment just now, we're having a wee blip and just need to try and get over the line in a couple of games.

"Everyone needs to relax and try to enjoy the run-in. I'm sure many other teams would want to be in the position that we're in now.

"Nerves aren't showing in the changing room. It's been two poor results and poor performances - that happens during a long season. We might look back on [the draw with West Ham] as a good point."

Highlights from West Ham's draw against Liverpool

Sadio Mane gave the Reds a 22nd-minute lead at the London Stadium after officials missed an offside James Milner in the build-up, and Michail Antonio equalised six minutes later for West Ham.

"We need to get back on track by winning games and playing better football," said Robertson.

"We can't worry about Manchester City. They're in a good moment just now, we're having a wee blip and just need to try and get over the line in a couple of games.

"Divock [Origi] had a chance in the 92nd minute [against West Ham] and if that goes in we're talking very differently, but we keep going, we dust ourselves down.

"There is still a long way to go."
