For once I thought Liverpool was playing away from home. Until I saw the scoreboard at half time, I only realised the match is being played to Anfield.
Passings gone astray, players slower to the ball and lack of penetration. It's absolutely rubbish! Blame on the International Friendlies? No way.
Rafa decision to leave Alonso on the beach is questionable. Lucas was garbage and Mascherano looked jaded. The midfield lost the battle to Murphy and Bullard. Fulham looked dangerous on the counter. Had Reina been off form as well, Liverpool would end the first half trailing by two goals.
Liverpool clearly missed Gerrard. Without Gerrard, Liverpool is just a team without a soul. The Reds simply have no answer to Fulham resolute defence. They are unable to create chances.
Only Torres impressed. Keane was merely a passenger in this match. 20 millions pound for the ex-Spurs man is proving a poor business by Rafa.
Evident in this match, Liverpool is not good for the title. Chelsea and Man Utd will do battle come May.
Sorry Liverpool, you are not good enough if you can't beat the likes of Fulham and Stoke at home. This the a match you ARE expected to win but you failed the test.
One consolation for Liverpool is that Chelsea also drew blank at home by Newcastle.
Liverpool will look at the home matches against Stoke and Fulham if they are pipped to the title.
