Liverpool manager Arne Slot expressed frustration with his team's 2-2 draw against Fulham at Craven Cottage, citing the reliance on late goals as a major concern. The Reds were unable to capitalize on their superiority in possession and were pegged back by the Cottagers' spirited defense.
Slot, who made several changes to his starting XI, appeared to have mastered the art of adapting to different game situations but ultimately came up short. Despite dominating large periods of the match, Liverpool were unable to find the breakthrough they needed, with their late goals only serving to paper over the cracks in their overall performance.
"It's not enough," Slot said, highlighting his team's inability to secure a win despite being in control for most of the match. The defeat leaves Liverpool with just two points from three Premier League matches, and questions will be asked about the team's ability to close out games.
While Slot acknowledged that Fulham had given them a good test, he was critical of his team's inability to create clear-cut chances throughout the match. The draw has left Liverpool with a mountain to climb in their pursuit of European qualification, and Slot will need to find answers quickly if they are to avoid slipping further behind their rivals.
As for Fulham, who have now earned eight points from four matches under manager Slaviša Jokanović, the victory serves as a testament to the team's growing resilience. With several key players returning from injury, the Cottagers look like a force to be reckoned with in the second tier of English football.
In contrast, Liverpool's struggles suggest that they are far from out of the woods just yet. The draw at Craven Cottage serves as a wake-up call for Slot and his team, highlighting the need for improved performance if they are to avoid being relegated back into the Championship.

. I mean, I get it, Liverpool had more possession and controlled the game for most of it, but that's not enough when you're not scoring goals 
. Arne Slot's frustration is valid, but come on, make changes to your team if they're not working! 
It's like he's saying "oh, we had more chances" but what about actually converting them into goals? 
The fact that Fulham's defense was spirited is all well and good, but shouldn't Liverpool be creating more pressure with their superior quality of play? 
! I mean, they're all over the shop out there, dominating possession but can't seem to find a way past the opposition. They're relying on those late goals like they're some kind of magic solution, but it's not working out that well for them right now 
. And Arne Slot is just throwing his hands up, saying it's not enough... I get it, buddy, we all want wins, but can't he come up with a plan B? 
.
u guys know how i feel about liverpool lately... they're in such a tough spot right now 
, so liverpool needs to step up their game ASAP! 
and on the flip side, fulham is looking like a dark horse in the relegation battle 
, so we'll be keeping an eye on them too 
. it's gonna be an interesting season ahead 
. it's like we're not even trying to win the game properly 
. and fulham deserved that draw imo 
, they were so organized and defensive-minded 
. we need to sort out our midfield and create some more chances for our forwards 
️. and yeah, this loss is a wake-up call 
... let's not forget where we came from in the championship 
.
. It's easy to rely on late goals, but it's not sustainable. We gotta work on creating chances throughout the match, not just waiting for one goal to change everything 
.
. Arne Slot needs to crack open some more strategies than just relying on those late goals, it's like he's trying to win a lottery or something 
. And can we talk about how Fulham's defense was like a brick wall 
? Liverpool had them in their pocket but couldn't score... I guess you could say they were "foul"-ly disappointed 
. But seriously, 2 points from 3 matches isn't great, maybe Slot should start watching some "how to win" videos instead of complaining about the draw 
.
. I mean, come on, they've got some of the best players in the league and yet they still can't get those clear-cut chances 
. Meanwhile, Fulham is just proving everyone wrong with Slaviša Jokanović at the helm 
. Can't say I'm surprised though, Liverpool's been struggling for years and it seems like no one knows what to do 
.
what's going on with slot? he seems like a great manager but his team's inconsistency is killing me 
The fact is, Liverpool were in control for most of the match, so they need to take credit for their dominance and capitalize on it.
Arne Slot needs to get his team's heads in the game and stop relying on those late goals, it's not going to cut it in the EPL. Fulham was NO JOKE either, they gave them a good test and now they're looking like a force to be reckoned with! 
!! Arne Slot's frustration is totally fair tho 
!
and btw Slaviša Jokanović must b doing smthing rite as a manager, they're literally killing it
