Liverpool vs Fulham: They don’t care! Lilywhites are dreading Reds visit
Liverpool head to London to play Fulham in the Premier League on Sunday and opposition fans are dreading the visit by Jurgen Klopp and the boys.
The Reds are fresh off the back of a 3-1 win over Bayern Munich, while the Cottagers have suffered defeats to Leicester and Southampton in their last three games.
Scott Parker has been handed the reigns on a temporary basis after Claudio Ranieri was sacked and the former England midfielder has spoken before the game.
Parker reckons that he’s seen a huge improvement in the standards and the effort put in by the playing group at training, to which there was some backlash on Twitter.
One user quickly jumped in to question why they hadn’t been trying prior to Parker taking over, while another mused that they don’t care about the club or relegation.
While it’s easy to dismiss the results being down to a group of men who aren’t really that bothered about Fulham, the alternative has to be considered: they’re not good enough and were poorly coached.
that just tells me that they have been lazy and dont really care!

Either way, Liverpool are expected to win on Sunday. They came away 2-0 victors earlier in the season thanks to goals from Mohamed Salah and Xherdan Shaqiri, and there is no way a team who’ve conceded 68 goals in 30 games should be stopping the Reds on Sunday.
This should be the perfect game for Salah to find his shooting boots and break that six game duck, while we may even see a resurrection of Shaqiri in light of Jordan Henderson’s injury.
Klopp will need to keep the lads focused, but there is little danger of them switching off as Liverpool chase their first Premier League title.
