Steven Gerrard has just convinced someone else to make the move from Liverpool to Al Ettifaq

Al Ettifaq, led by Steven Gerrard, has welcomed opponent analyst Jonathan Robinson from Liverpool.

Gerrard, who assumed the managerial role of the Saudi Pro League side in the summer, has supervised the recruitment of several personnel and athletes with ties to his former club.

Undoubtedly, the most prominent among these was captain Jordan Henderson’s unexpected transition, but there have been a number of other backroom staff appointments that have gone unnoticed.

Robinson, according to Al Ettifaq on X, is the most recent of these. On Monday, the Dammam club announced the addition of the 31-year-old via social media.

Yesterday on his personal X account, the analyst bid Liverpool farewell with an emotive message.

“Nine years with extraordinary individuals, lifelong memories, and a club unlike any other…” Robinson composed. “THANK you for everything, club members, staff, and all other individuals affiliated with the organization!” YNWA.”

Gerrard may be doing his best to assemble a team of seasoned professionals in the sport of football, but thus far, his efforts have not yielded much success.

Undoubtedly, Al Ettifaq were not anticipated to contend for the Pro League championship this season. Although Gerrard and Henderson are rumored to be offered exorbitant salaries, they do not have the support of the government.

Consequently, they lack the financial resources to invest heavily in superstars such as Neymar, Karim Benzema, or Riad Mahrez.

However, Al Ettifaq did demonstrate considerable progress over the summer and might have anticipated Stevie to be performing marginally better than their current seventh-place finish.

Their last two matches have resulted in two scoreless draws, and rumors indicate that attendance at the games has been extremely low; therefore, things could undoubtedly be improved.

Gerrard will be hopeful that Robinson’s arrival will assist in reversing the situation in his favor.

Nevertheless, it is important to acknowledge that the analyst lacks comprehensive knowledge of first-team matters, having primarily operated in the juvenile teams for Liverpool.

Notwithstanding this, it is regrettable to witness an individual relinquish a position at Liverpool in order to accompany Gerrard to the Middle East. Nevertheless, Jonathan has our fondest wishes.
