FAN REACTION: Empty Tank at Anfield as Gags and Sam Unpick Liverpool’s Fulham Frustration

Liverpool’s goalless draw with Fulham prompted a frustrated but detailed discussion on Anfield Index’s Full Time Reds, with Gags Tandon and Sam Quaye examining why Andoni Iraola’s side struggled to sustain their recent improvement.

Gags identified fatigue as a central issue, arguing that a third match in a week exposed a squad still adapting to more demanding football. Sam agreed that Liverpool’s best moments arrived in short bursts of pressing and intensity, followed by periods of passivity that allowed Fulham to settle.

The midfield attracted the strongest criticism. Both questioned the balance between Ryan Gravenberch and Dominik Szoboszlai, highlighting positional discipline, defensive awareness and the quality of Liverpool’s progression.

Their concern extended to Florian Wirtz, whose attacking influence, they argued, suffered because he was repeatedly required to cover deeper areas.
