Jurgen Klopp's headache is getting worse by the day after a week in which the Reds dropped Premier League points and lost more players to injury.
On a weekend when Tottenham, Chelsea and both the Manchester clubs failed to record victories, the Reds were unable to take advantage.
Three points at Fulham would have taken them top of the Premier League, but in the end Jurgen Klopp’s side had to settle for one.
Although in fairness, they probably would have settled for that at half-time, given the paucity of their first-half performance at Craven Cottage.
It was a late Mo Salah penalty, his 13th goal of the season, which got the champions out of jail.
They had trailed to Bobby Decordova-Reid’s first-half strike, and for long periods had looked sluggish and distracted in the west London rain.
Had it not been for the sharpness of goalkeeper Alisson Becker, back after a three-game absence, they may have been dead and buried by the interval.
“We could have lost it in the first 30 minutes,” Klopp admitted afterwards. “In the next 60 we could have won it.”
