Williams claims to have learned from Liverpool's Robertson and Trent.
Liverpool fans, according to ex-Manchester United star Gary Neville, are only reluctant to complain about the club's owners because of the club's current success under Jurgen Klopp. Now into his seventh season at Anfield, Klopp could be on the verge of his best campaign yet as the Reds power towards an unprecedented quadruple.

Football ownership was thrust into the spotlight earlier this month when Chelsea's Russian billionaire owner, Roman Abramovich, was slapped with UK government sanctions that nearly bankrupted the club. An abrupt takeover process is now well underway, but the sequence of events has prompted many to look more critically at their own club's owners.
Liverpool is owned by the Fenway Sports Group (FSG), which also owns baseball and ice hockey teams in the United States. While they have avoided intense scrutiny, Mohamed Salah's wage dispute and a fundamental lack of spending in comparison to their competitors in recent years have raised concerns.
According to Neville, fans are only 'quiet' about the situation because of Klopp's success.
If that comes to an end, the partnership may be jeopardized. "There is no doubt that our league is being abused and used," he told The Overlap.
"There is a big moment coming off the back of Abramovich, and it will be much more difficult to get into English football in the future.
"Fans will have a higher bar to clear in terms of what they expect from their owners. Liverpool fans are currently deafeningly quiet, owing solely to the fact that they have a brilliant manager and a brilliant team." That will all change the moment Klopp leaves and they begin to fall. Once he leaves and they keep spending the same money, there will be a correction and the fans won’t be happy."
