Liverpool started on the wrong foot against Fulham

The Liverpool The season did not start off on the right foot. The Fulham It is too complicated an obstacle for those Jurgen Klopp who were uncomfortable and could not pass the draw in their premiere in the Premier League (2-2).

The eleven ‘reds’ were surprised. Darwin Nunez, the investment in securing the Community Shield and star signing of the season, started the game on the bench as they opted to give Roberto Firmino the go-ahead. The rest of the team is as expected, without Diogo Jota, who is still recovering.

The beginning of conflict is marked by a Fulham which is ten. Under intense pressure in three quarters, closing the gaps inside to prevent Fabinho and Thiago from connecting in the possession game, he prevented Van Dijk and Matip from starting games with criteria from the first minute, when Mitrovic, that he was the best on the pitch, he almost scored the first goal.

That awkwardness lingered. More than expected certainly, because all the duels of the divided ball fell on the side of Fulham. Even the well annulled goal against Luis Díaz did not inspire the assumed dominance of Liverpool before starting the tournament against a newly promoted Premier League. With few chances on either side, the goal came from a header from Mitrovićwho beat Alexander-Arnold (33′).

That seems to have finally woken up the group of Klopp. Well, the goal and also Thiago Alcantara, who decided to drop as a false winger to start getting into the game and unbalanced the pressure from Marco Silva’s team. However, and despite stepping into a more hostile field, the post prevented Luis Díaz from equalizing the score and the result remained unchanged at halftime.

Ipoipo Darwin Núñez

There is hope to see if Klopp give entrance to Darwin Nunez at rest, but it is not. However, five minutes into the second half, bad news came in the form of Thiago’s wound, again with his hamstrings, and that involved a double switch, which brought in Eliott and Darwin. There were two hits.

As in the first half, the Liverpool It took a while to fix, but not that long this time. However, this almost gave Fulham time to double their lead. The wood stops Kebano before they start suffering what it is against Darwin. The Uruguayan began contacting the ball repeatedly in the area and, after Rodak saved a shot from his spur, he repeated the same action minutes later, assisted again by wrong, this time he signed the tie and scored his first Premier League goal (64′). And he’s not the only one who can fall. Ream, on the line, dodged moments after he made the second. Being released, Darwin left it to Luis Díaz, who was unsuccessful.

Back then, when he was better Liverpool and Fulham suffered more, when Matip’s error came. Also, because he lost a lot of balls with dangerous passes. Mitrović he ran on the counter when he wasn’t the fastest but in two jogs he cleared Van Dijk and he took a penalty. The same Serbian manages to change it (72′).

He needs to react a little time Liverpool and when wrong, which had almost disappeared, was activated in continued collaboration with Eliott. It was the Egyptian who re-tied the tie, taking advantage of Darwin’s imperfect control and almost pinpointing an empty goal (81′). Quite a record, as he has scored six consecutive seasons on the first day of the Premier, something no footballer has ever achieved.

The Liverpool He launched himself for the third, but he accused the lack of finesse and freshness that was with him throughout the fight. He only had one, with Henderson’s shot from outside the area deflecting off the already discounted crossbar. The ball didn’t go in and Liverpool started the season they didn’t expect.
