Liverpool star Andy Robertson supports Steve Bruce after criticism of the former manager

Andy Robertson expressed his support for former manager Steve Bruce after "liking" a tweet written by former teammate Alex Bruce.

In the tweet – which received more than 7,000 retweets – Bruce defended his father, Steve, after the manager was criticized by BBC experts Danny Murphy and Ruud Gullit.

Alex Bruce quoted the BBC video next to the tweet, but the media has since been removed from the official Twitter account of the Match of the Day.

Former Liverpool midfielder, Murphy and Dutchman Gullit, criticized Bruce's decision to take a little time before baduming his new role as Sheffield boss on Wednesday.

Murphy said Bruce was making "a cane for his own back" and he added, "If it starts bad, do you think Sheffield Wednesday fans are not going to talk about it?

"You are sunbathing while watching cricket for whatever reason.This is not something that any manager with whom I played would have done it.

Gullit added, "If it was Manchester United, do you think it would have done the same?"

Murphy and Gullit both faced a negative reaction after comments they made on the BBC FA Cup coverage while Chelsea beat Wednesday 3-0.

In the tweet of central defender Bruce, it reads: "Maybe if Ruud and Danny had succeeded since 1998, had lost a father, a mother, a job, they had themselves health problems to settle in six about months and others would understand why he needed a short break in football. "

Perhaps if Ruud and Danny had been in post since 1998, when they had lost their father, their mother, their work, they too had health problems to settle in the space of about six months. they and others would understand why he needed a short break from football. https://t.co/FaeXfkSFMJ

Left-back Liverpool Robertson – who played for Hull City under Bruce and alongside his son – showed his former boss and teammate, and he was not the only one to do it.

TV presenter Kelly Cates, daughter of Sir Kenny Dalglish, responded to Bruce's tweet saying, "I'm so happy you said that.

"It's important to remember that we are dealing with real people, not just one of them.

"They only explain the situation by their own experience, and I'm glad it changes, that's all."

Alex, I'm so glad you said that. Important to remember that we are dealing with real people.

While former Everton goaltender Neville Southall also shared his feelings as he tweeted, "They are paid to talk.

"You have money on your father's promotion next season, Best coach, best wishes to him."
