Liverpool’s wonderful early season form has led to a real feel-good factor developing around the club.

The Reds are one of the form teams in Europe so far this term and sit top of both the Premier League and Champions League tables.

That Liverpool have picked up such results after losing a legendary manager in Jurgen Klopp is testament to the strength in bond that already existed within the Reds players.

Two players who embody this perhaps more than any other are Andy Robertson and Ibrahima Konate.

Robertson has long been known as one of the primary jokers in the Liverpool squad, while Konate’s bubbly personality shines through whenever he’s caught on camera at the Liverpool training ground.

Put the pair together and hilarity can often ensue. And after Konate posted up his latest fashion shoot on Instagram, that’s exactly what has happened.

Andy Robertson roasts Ibrahima Konate

Konate is clearly a very big personality. During his time at Liverpool the centre-back has become well-known for his outrageous fashion sense.

Plenty will remember Konate turning up for France duty with a bizarre outfit back in October, for example.

In reality, that is just the tip of the iceberg. The 25-year-old’s social media is full of loud ensembles, each more provocative than the last.

In fairness to Ibou, it is not his clothing which has cause a stir in his latest post, though. Rather, where he is wearing the clothing.

Taking to Instagram on Thursday evening, Konate shared a series of photos in all denim overshirt and trousers combination.

For one of the shots, the Liverpool No.5 posed fully clothed in a bath-tub, looking smoulderingly out of a curtained window. Safe to say, Robertson was not having it.

“Why you in a bath?” wrote the Scotland captain, with France teammate Youssouf Fofana equally perplexed. “In the tub Ibou?” the AC Milan midfielder quieried.

Ibrahima Konate could captain France

Konate and Robertson will play once more together on Saturday before both heading off for their respective nations.

For Konate, his call-up for France represents another chance to captain Les Bleus.

Regular skipper Kylian Mbappe has once again not been called up by Didier Deschamps, leaving a void for the two-time World champions.

Konate was in the running to captain France in October but was ultimately edged out by Aurelien Tchouameni.

But with reported Liverpool target Tchouameni injured and out of the squad, RMC report that Konate is now vying with N’Golo Kante and Jules Kounde to wear the armband against Israel on Thursday.
