Overview
- Liverpool drew 2-2 at Fulham after Harrison Reed’s 97th-minute strike, extending an unbeaten run to nine that has featured flat performances and late concessions.
- Panelists and pundits criticised the safety-first style and lack of width, with Dominik Szoboszlai’s deployment on the right cited as a misstep that narrowed the attack.
- Midfield control again faltered and Alexis Mac Allister’s quiet display drew scrutiny, while Curtis Jones emerged as a rare positive with strong chance creation and secure passing.
- Sky’s data shows regression from last season with 32 league goals and a +4 goal difference versus 47 goals and +28 at the same stage last year, and a conservative recent spell has not reduced big chances conceded, especially away where Liverpool have allowed more than they’ve scored.
- Speculative reports suggest the club could decide on Slot’s future this week, which has not been confirmed, as Liverpool remain fourth and visit leaders Arsenal next and the manager insists his philosophy has not changed.
