Liverpool Gain A Point In Adversity Against Fulham | The Anfield Wrap

[@Scott_grieve]

The way Slot approached the game after going down to 10 men, says a lot about him. Feel even more confident about our title hopes after that game tbh

[@lukegriffiths107]

Glad there’s actually a lot of positivity around this match - yes it’s two points dropped but it’s a massive game in our season and could end up looking like a very important point…just wish it had been on the telly

[@cedarstuff]

Absolute copium.

[@lisasims7943]

Better with 10 men than 11 which says alot about how much Robertson had dropped off and trent , they have both been great for liverpool but I'd rather have Bradley in for trent and buy a new left back

[@JamieKennedyXperiment]

Trent chat was absolutely embarrassing. Poor form doesn’t stop you busting a gut to get back. He’s always got energy to run when he’s on the ball though hasn’t he?

[@katkat3156]

Trent’s mind is somewhere else and it’s showing. He’s actually not been playing well this season and has been injured. It’s defo a disappointing season from him so far.

[@yemalad1.]

He needs to go his attitude is a joke. He thinks he's a lot lot better than he actually is because his ego is so big. Conor Bradley is a better RB already

[@MasterFitchs]

@@yemalad1.dont be ridiculous, Trent attitude and effort poor but hes 2x the player Bradley is, Bradley been exposed at times this season.

Rose tinted glasses when it comes to TAA again

[@BelpassoOilandWineCo]

nearly everygoal and threat from the teams we play come down his side. He is an awful defender. Ballon d'or? Hilariously deluded.

[@ncb9354]

They’re just deluding themselves. His approach to the contract compared to Virgil is quite clearly different and that’s backed by the way the journalists are talking about it. Just sheer ignorance to pretend they can’t see what’s happening

[@chrisstockton4066]

The fact that he’s bessie’s with Bellingham is a red flag, just in terms of Jude seeming like a bit of a blurt. His ego outweighs his ability and I wonder if Trent has a bit of that about him. Trent has a pathway to being captain for his boyhood club, he will be just another player at Madrid.

[@matthewshaughnessy6442]

Thank god someone thinks same as me Jesus Christ Trent is dreadful

[@DrJoeCool]

I’m probably in the minority here but I actually want Trent gone - I’d rather have Bradley as our first choice with another decent RB coming in the summer as competition . Trent is still a dreadful defender and i genuinely think he costs us more on goals conceded compared to goals created

[@kopite998]

I thought it was a fantastic performance. I don't see it as two points dropped at all. I think the lads should be so proud of that performance to keep attacking like we did with 10 men was incredible. Let's not forget that Fulham got very lucky with the deflections for the first and second goals and nearly all major refereeing decisions went against us

[@sanjd6882]

Yep. Only thing that is starting to trouble me is that the decisions are yet again going against Liverpool (after the Newcastle game too..) with points being lost as a result

[@Boxinggavinmason]

I agree 👍

[@shineonyoucrazydiamond4059]

Sorry lads and girl, but trents attitude has been awful most of this season, and he is coming across as he has made up his mind to go to Madrid, the eye doesn't lie

[@saladinbob]

You sound like apologists for Trent. There's a difference between being rubbish and not giving a damn. At the weekend he didn't give a damn and sometimes I do think Trent needs a kick up the arse because he does have form for coasting through games without a care.

[@ph8077]

We know this...just ignore. No LFC fan channels are capable of having a balanced discussion about Trent.

[@seth1455]

Beth wasn't apologising for him and yeah Trent has an attitude problem

[@warren6468]

No mention of the 2 games recently when Robbo gave 2 penalties away and the first Fulham goal was down to poor defending by him and it seems like you think a bad touch then a foul leading to a red is ok 🤦‍♂️

[@AnthonyMonaghan]

I'd love to see Peter Mullan as Shankly in the adaptation of Red or Dead. Pitch perfect casting. You need to turn this play into a movie.

[@Lfcr786]

It’s such a weird one this season cos my only expectations was for slot to implement his style, make it work and get top 4 and a cup. Now all of a sudden the pressure is really on and it feels like if we don’t win the title we would have failed. Yes we wont need to get 90 points but the last two games have hurt us. Overall we’ve been poor the last 3 games and I’m hoping this is our blip. It’s got to the stage now where we have to win The next 4 100%. I don’t care how many injuries we have now we just have to go on a run and if we do we can pull away.

[@AlexM-YNWA]

Great performance with 10, not the result we wanted but we're showing we have the DNA of a team capable of silverware. PS thankful for Beth to actually acknowledge Trent's performance. So many examples season after season of a lack of defensive awareness and willingness to track back.

[@redmed10]

Our players do seem to be getting clobbered in early stages of games and refs let them get away with it so other teams do it more. Didn't see Robertson getting clobbered and motd didn't show it either but i did see pereira deliberately raking his studs down gravs achilles heel and only got a booking for it. And next min he scores. Once i saw that i knew it was going to be one of those days. And then robbo gets sent off.

[@briancorley1991]

I have mixed feelings about the result, especially now that Arsenal and City dropped points again. We need to start capitalising on the dropped points.

[@tools_1805]

Trent was embarrassing for their second goal

[@NicklasAxelsson-l9j]

i think trent still in madrid.we play 9 agaisnt fulham a good point.

[@issamkayssi9187]

Great lineup. Happy Christmas, TAW.

[@gostepsenglish4431]

It shouldn't have been a red. The ball was heading towards Van Dyke, meaning he would be a cover. Notwithstanding the fact they had a goal scoring opportunity. The ref allowed play to go on, giving them a goal scoring opp, then pulled play back to give them a FK, and sent Robbo off. madness.

[@chrisstockton4066]

Neil’s Farley’s Rusk joke deserved more credit. I think our understanding of league seasons have been skewed with how we’ve competed against City over the years. It shouldn’t have to take 90+ points to win a league. This seasons seems like a ‘normal’ season. The fact that we haven’t dropped points with our run of games, injuries etc since the international break is really impressive. We’ve sorted out the Champions League early, hopefully it’s full throttle for the league now. Let’s get these contracts sorted, invest in the squad and give this league a real go.

[@dannylowry4743]

I have been thinking we should be looking for something different at LB for a couple of seasons now, not just because of the last game. Imo, he really misses Mane on that side with his work rate and tracking back - not to say Diaz and Gakpo do not work back, but Mane was particularly good at it. I don't think we can afford to lose his presence in the dressing room, but I'm not sure he'd be willing to accept a squad role.

[@martynstembridge7714]

Need to start playing like Champions again. Since the City win we've looked like team who thinks the job is done ... coasting and never dominating.

[@Maroon498]

All things considered it was a decent point with 10 men. But we can’t have any more of those games at home as we have lost a bit of ground since Newcastle. I thought we made Fulham look better than what they are in all honesty. We should be beating these teams at home and we have to beat them. Chelsea are right on our coat tails and they have the squad to cope. We need to do business in January.

[@ianking6827]

We have gained 2 points points,whilst Chelsea have gained 9 and could potentially go top Sunday as they play before us, lead has quickly evaporated,be it we have a game in hand.Long,long way to go,but as we all know successive draws can be costly.

[@premadhikari7641]

I don’t think we have helped ourselves after the city win.. the back to back draw with a game cancelled has sort of made the momentum stop.. that Tottenham game is another challenge.. if we show up defensively especially away from home, I think we win.. they key for us always has been to score first especially away from home.. its very hard to win a game while chasing .. to further add on we can’t be chasing games like Southampton, Newcastle, Fulham every week matches like last year.. I seriously hope we get more control in games going forward.. with Tottenham they will go out all attack, that game is there for the taking if we show up defensively .. with Tottenham having their 2 cbs out , we have to get a result despite them having great attacking threats in son, kulisevski, Maddison, they can still do some damage but we have to get a result .. we have to still go on a winning it’s as simple as that.. i just hope we take advantage of this situation for once man.. league and champions league should be priority

[@godfreymwenelupembe2602]

It's like mid December 😂 waaaayyy too early... Just have to stay ahead

[@XxMCcanxX]

Difference between Virgil and Trent contract situations is that Virgil has said he wants to stay whereas Trent’s silence makes people wonder more what he’s thinking

[@ekamroopsinghchaggar6112]

Quansah reminds me of Dejan Lovren. Like how does gravenberch look like a better CB then you when this is the first time he has played the position and we have 10 men 😂😂😂

[@jeffreytsao5710]

Agreed on everything about Trent. Either he goes or he stays. Until then, he’s our lad and we pillory him for bad pitch performance, not what he may or may not do.

[@nickwhitfield3898]

Fulham played well, but they fouled quite anlot. Robinson & Pierra could of been sent off for yellow card offenses. Liverpool played well against the odds. Fulham should of been down to ten men at least by the hour mark. By the end liverpool deserved all the points.

[@truesounds6470]

The idea that trent could not possibly be distracted by madrid is hard cope. His heart and mind must be stretched a lot with the madrid opportunity and liverpool background. It's a serious factor to consider.

[@PP-nq1gm]

I'm all for supporting Robbo, up to a point. The simple fact is he doesn't close down or block crosses from wingers & is making crucial mistakes. He struggled against Saka, Dibley & now Wilson & we are not even at the half way point of the season.

[@ianfanning8943]

Can't stand the defence of trent,he was awful and has been bang average all season.anyone can have a poor run but his body language is really disappointing.

[@MS_SUPEREd_SUPPORTER_power]

Trent isnt a defender, never was, always played in the opponents half.. AS should let him go "loose" he is a class above, you dont chain a racehorse to a cart & expect it to win the race! grow up! He is the only one who touches the TIA sign before going out to play...lay off!

[@James9399_]

He’s scouse and gives them interviews so they’ll never say a word against him.

[@genes2311]

Our left back was sent of , yet all of Fulham's goal threat was coming from the right hand side. What does that tell us ? TAA was absolutely horrific , particularly in the 2nd half. Don't care whether he wants to stay or he wants to go, but if the off-field stuff is affecting his on-field performance , Trent's needs to benched. As long as he is with the club, I expect him to put an effort and not fucking run slower than the referee when we conceded the 2nd goal, which by the way, ALSO came from his side of the pitch. Hopefully Slot will have a 1 : 1 with him to clear the air but Trent was absolutely embarrassing. During the game, Virgil visibly remonstrated against him at least 2 times, if not more.

[@nigel8499]

Trent's mental game is all over the place ATM.

[@redmed10]

Unfortunately trent is not blessed with pace or a turn of pace so him jogging looks exactly like he's sprinting.

[@garycarey9376]

How can anyone think it’s two points dropped when you see how it panned out

[@j.s3300]

Because we were the architect of our failure. Not that I think it was two dropped but that would be the reason

[@James9399_]

Because it’s Fulham at home. It’s 2 dropped.

[@thelmaviaduct]

arsenal are one dimensional and will be sussed out soon. Chelsea have strength in depth, have goals in them & they are the main threat, not arse.

[@MA-rq4nu]

They were the best in the world 3/4 years ago but honestly both fullbacks are a problem and need replacing. One doesn't want to defend and the other can't defend anymore at the level we need consistently.

[@FritzFrank]

Thanks for the content

[@Fobbie498]

No, Chelsea have talent and showing signs of gelling. However, they are still a young team and have never experienced a real title challenge. I’d expect them to fall off in March. But I could see them lifting a title in the next few years.

[@SpuddersSpud-ps6dd]

Both full backs are a concern. Defensively that was shambolic from both of them.

[@shookspear]

I'm all for positivity but if Darwin put in the standard of performances Robertson has been putting in this season I doubt he'd be getting defended in the same way

[@noahdar2507]

I agree with the positivity. We had an xg of 3 and fulham only had an xg of 1. Should have won the game. What this game did show us though is that Quansah has no right to play for liverpool, and robbo needs to get on the peloton more.

[@yemalad1.]

Time for FSG to step up in January. We'll never have a better chance of winning the title than this season. I know it's hard getting players in jan but we need a CB, LB an CDM to get us over the line. We've been wobbly since konate got injured, robbo as much as i love him is absolutely finished at this level his legs are gone and he's making big, point costing mistakes every game and as slot clearly doesn't fancy endo we desperately need cover for gravenberch who is being ran into the ground. Maybe bring back bajcetic from salzburg loan because this season has got burn out written all over it if we don't rotate more

[@RaekwonTheChef]

I've been a TAW supporter for a decade now, but this was the most disappointing discussion. First time Trent's name is mentioned, "his performance was shocking." Yet Robinson, who is currently in the middle of another poor season, who was RIGHTFULLY red carded, he gets excuses made for him. It's quite interesting as to why Robinson always gets grace for his performances, but when Trent is bad, there is no wiggle room. I find that very interesting.

[@josephduggan3215]

Mid season blip,but not losing games,but we need 6pts and fast as chelsea are catching us up,strartin at spurs we need a masive prfomance,just play the kids in the cup game,weve gorra beat spurs,end of😂

[@ekamroopsinghchaggar6112]

Why are we looking. At Trent don’t we see Robertsons defending at the back post for the first goal and his stupid red card challenge. We need a new LB in January

[@Stu77-go8tp]

You can hear the resignation in the voices of these guys. They know this Liverpool team is not winning trophies this season. It's the same tired old squad from last season with cheap owners who have refused to strengthen. This team can't win games right now, and will lose at Southampton and get a drubbing at Spurs this weekend. Liverpool unlikely to win a game in the whole of December. "Experience tells me that trying to win 3 or 4 trophies ruins you" - didn't seem to impact Man City when they did it, or Man Utd in 1999, how did it ruin them that season? The reason Liverpool don't have players available at the back is because of the cheap owners refusal to sign any players in the summer. Why was that he case if they are invested in Liverpool's success in winning trophies?

[@cedarstuff]

Two points dropped. Robertson exposed again, and Quansah showing that he's still a distance from rhe first team. We are only 2 points clear now. The adversity faced was entirely of our own making.

[@Centhar]

On Robertson, that’s a sending off and two penalties given away in his last six or seven games. We’re seeing the inevitable slid and we should look to move him on next summer after hopefully bringing in his long term replacement in January. On Trent, he should be out of the team if not signing. On average TAA gave around 13 G/A a season, but Slot has far less focus on the full backs and his numbers have dipped hugely this year. He simply is not worth the amount his wants to LFC and we should move on from him asap. The only reason he should step out on the pitch is if Bradley is injured and we should also take the vice-captaincy away from him imo.

[@Watsahandle21]

Bradley all day long (fact)

Unreal that a channel like this can come out and defend a left back who has quite clearly gone over the edge and is plummeting to the end of his career, and a right back who can’t defend and is just going through the motions until he gets his move to Madrid. Back to back draws has allowed Chelsea to go top this weekend. We were 9 clear and flying.

[@edglue6138]
