Liverpool fans were left with mixed feelings after a hard-fought draw against Fulham.
The Reds showed resilience and grit, but the result could have been so much better.
The game had everything—intense moments, injury scares, controversial decisions, and even a red card.
For much of the match, Liverpool had to dig deep, playing with ten men and facing relentless challenges from the visitors.
At times, it felt like everything was going against them.
An early injury scare for Andy Robertson disrupted the rhythm, and fans watched nervously as decisions on the field added to the tension.
Fulham’s organization made things even harder for Liverpool to break through.
Yet, the Reds kept fighting, despite the setbacks.
The result, a 2-2 draw, felt like a missed opportunity for a side chasing crucial points in a competitive league.
Arne Slot comments on Liverpool draw vs Fulham
After the match, Liverpool boss Arne Slot reflected on the game.
Speaking to Sky Sports, he praised his players’ efforts under difficult circumstances.
“I don’t think I could’ve asked for more from my players, especially after going down to 10 men.”
“I couldn’t have asked for more in terms of performance and results.
Of course, we could have had two points more,” he said.
Slot highlighted an early moment that disrupted Liverpool’s intensity.
“At the start of the game, you always want to start intense.”
“After 30 seconds, one of ours was on the floor and needed treatment for a while, so we couldn’t get the intensity more,” he explained.
The Liverpool manager also addressed Andrew Robertson’s role in the red card incident.
“I think Robbo might have been a bit too injured to keep going because normally he’s faster than that.”
“It says a lot about his character that he wants to keep on going, but it results in a red card,” he said.
“I think it’s just whether it’s offside.
I was clear it wasn’t going to be changed.
It’s maybe the only thing I didn’t complain about today.”
“It’s an emotional game and we were a man down, it’s frustrating.”
On officiating, Slot remained diplomatic.
“It’s difficult to judge for me because I only see it in real-time like the referee?
We have to accept what VAR sees.”
“You know how important these decisions can be,”he said.
He admitted frustration with some marginal decisions, adding, “There was a moment when one of their players already on a yellow could have been given another.”
For Liverpool, the draw was hard-earned, but the lingering sense of “what if” remains.
