We asked for your thoughts after Saturday's Premier League game between Liverpool and Fulham.
Here are some of your comments:
Liverpool fans
Tracy: Excellent and welcome result from the Reds. Rio Ngumoha was superb and deadly accurate. Let’s see more from our 17-year-old please, a class player.
Michael: A good win but Liverpool only play in moments, relying on individual brilliance to win games. And we completely dropped off after 60-minutes, which seems to be the usual. At least Rio started and Dominik Szoboszlai was playing as an eight, which is his best position. Good for Alexander Isak to get minutes as well. Harder tests to come against more physical teams, starting with PSG and then Everton away, which I’m already dreading.
Ben: Much better than recent outings and, yet again, Rio Ngumoha demonstrates why he should start more often. Michael Owen and Steven Gerrard were both around 17 when they burst onto the scene and look how they progressed. Ngumoha can be like them, if not better, but he needs more starts. He must start against PSG on Tuesday if we’re to have any chance of turning that tie around, otherwise we could risk another big club coming in for him and risk losing such an extraordinary talent.
Oliver: We can’t kid ourselves. A positive win but we could still end up getting a thrashing in the next Premier League game. But speaking of kids, young Ngumoha is an exceptional talent. Of course you want to protect him physically but whoever is in the dugout next season must pick him as a starter. Fantastic performance!
Fulham fans
Mike: It looked like Liverpool were the team who had had three weeks off. Fulham just weren’t in the game from the beginning. I hope we don’t make it into a European competition because we just don’t have the depth needed and, unfortunately, the squad we have is not good enough to compete in Europe
Louis: Defensively great, but we lacked drive to move the ball forwards and to create chances. The midfield and attack had many gaps which really impacted us. Some tactics need to change because this isn’t the first time!
Jan: We seem to play with no real belief when we meet the big teams. A poor first half was all that was required to miss out, and this seems to be a pattern. We’ve had chances all through the season to make progress up the table and we always bottle it. It’s so disappointing as the talent is there but not the belief.
Robbie: What we have come to expect at this time of the season. No real desire from anyone that showed we were playing for a shot at Europe! The manager situation doesn’t help in my opinion either, it feels like every negative result is nothing to do with his selection or tactics and edges him more towards his exit door.
