Liverpool are facing uncertainty about their chances of winning the Premier League in a month, but they understand the importance of securing victories in their remaining matches. Recent setbacks, including exits from the FA Cup and slipping behind Manchester City in the league table, have dampened the mood at Anfield. However, they aim to reignite their season starting with the upcoming match against Fulham.
Despite facing challenges with injuries and a loss of confidence, Liverpool remains resilient under Klopp’s leadership. Trent Alexander-Arnold might return to the starting lineup, bolstering the team’s strength. However, there’s a need for strategic changes, particularly regarding Curtis Jones.
Jones, despite his talent, has struggled to regain his form since returning from injury. Therefore, it’s suggested that he should start from the bench against Fulham, with players like Alexis Mac Allister and Harvey Elliott stepping in. Wataru Endo, described as a “warrior and leader,” could provide the necessary steel in midfield, allowing Mac Allister to thrive creatively.
