Jürgen Klopp had changed his starting eleven to seven positions, he had warned of the promoted team, who unfortunately lost 1-0 to Tottenham on Thursday: Position 18 in the table does not correspond to the current form.

And during the game, a plane with a motivational banner made its laps over the Anfield stadium: “Unity is strength - let's go, Reds!

You'll never walk alone, ”read there.

It didn't help.

In the end, however, it was 0: 1 (0: 1).

Just three days after the 1-0 defeat by Chelsea, his team suffered the next bitter bankruptcy.

The crisis has now become chronic.

It was the sixth home defeat in a row.

Fulham were the better team with the more dangerous chances in the first half, while Klopp's team looked unsettled again and radiated little danger in attack.

James Milner's long-range shot (31st) marked the Reds' best chance.

The goal deservedly fell on the other side.

Striker Mo Salah caused danger in the wrong penalty area when he let himself be duped on his own penalty area, gave the ball to Mario Lemina and watched the Londoner hit the far corner of Fulham's lead (45th).

Mané only hits the post

In the second section, Liverpool increased the pressure.

Jota had the chance to equalize on his comeback after a three-month injury break (48th), four minutes later there was also the first corner for Klopp, and Sadio Mané hit the post (70th).

Even goalkeeper Alisson came forward with a corner, but a goal did not succeed in the heated final phase.

The crash continues.

Of the last 14 Premier League games, the team won only three.

In the table, Liverpool were seventh after the final whistle, but have played more games than the competition.

The gap to the Champions League places could therefore increase from four to up to nine.

The title defense has long been ticked off in view of more than 20 points behind leaders Manchester City.

The Reds are also eliminated from the national cup competitions.

The last chance for a title is in the Champions League.

On Wednesday, Liverpool will host RB Leipzig in the second leg of the second round.

Due to travel restrictions due to corona, the game will not be played in Anfield, but, like the first leg (2-0), in Budapest.
