From champion to beggar? Liverpool went from being one of the best teams not only in the Premier League but also in all of Europe to being a vulnerable one, failing to get strong at home and hitting an incredible losing streak that it had never achieved before. It is that in the continuity of the 27th date of the English competition, Jürgen Klopp's men fell in Anfield Road against Fulham, one of the poorer teams of the tournament, and reached six consecutive defeats at home.

Klopp surprised him in the lineup, especially in defense, with Neco Williams, Rhys Williams and Nathaniel Phillips, three homegrown players, and leaving Sadio Mané on the bench. This action did not go well for the German and the first half was controlled by Fulham, who took the lead at a critical moment, just before the break. Mohamed Salah, singled out in the team's latest loss to Chelsea, lost it on the edge of the box to Mario Lemina and nailed it to the side of Alisson Becker's right post.

The goal served Liverpool to wake up in the second half, but without creativity above and fixing everything to the centers of Trent Alexander-Arnold from the right. The clearest came in a shot by Diogo Jota that Areola saved and a header from Mané to the post, but the Reds gave a very poor image against one of the candidates to be relegated from the Premier League this year.

It's Liverpool's sixth consecutive defeat at Anfield in the Premier, in addition to having only scored one goal in their stadium in all of 2021. The team is seventh, with 43 points, three from Europe and four from the Champions League. They can be passed on the table by both Tottenham and Aston Villa.
