CharlieH Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Fulham 1-3 Liverpool: 'Jurgen Klopp’s clever changes keep Liverpool in title fight' - Danny Murphy By Danny MurphyMOTD2 pundit & former Liverpool midfielder Last updated on21 April 202421 April 2024.From the sectionLiverpool It has been a tough couple of weeks for Liverpool but they are certainly not feeling sorry for themselves. Instead, their performance against Fulham on Sunday said to me that they are still fighting like mad for the Premier League title. Going into the game, Reds boss Jurgen Klopp had said he felt his side have been too easy to play against recently, so he will be very pleased with what he saw from them in their win at Craven Cottage. Right from the start, Liverpool's tempo was better than in either leg of their Europa League defeat by Atalanta, or their home loss to Crystal Palace last weekend. This time, whenever they lost the ball, they were closing Fulham down and hunting in packs, and it was their intensity which gave them a platform to go on and win the game. Refreshed midfield gives Reds a lift The engine room of your midfield is crucial for any successful team, but especially with the way Liverpool play - which as we know is with high-energy and on the front foot. It is a big ask for their players in those positions to continually do that week in, week out, especially playing as many as games as they have been in so many different competitions. So, I thought it was clever of Klopp to change his midfield three on Sunday, and that is nothing against the trio who played in their 1-0 win in Italy on Thursday - they have all played their part this season, to help put Liverpool where they are.
