More Dropped Points at Anfield - Should Liverpool Worry Yet?

Liverpool were held to a scoreless draw by Fulham at Anfield on Saturday, meaning new head coach Andoni Iraola's side has failed to win either of its first two home league matches this season - only the third time this has happened in 63 years.

The result came just days after an impressive Champions League win over Atletico Madrid, a performance full of energy and purpose. Against Fulham, a side that had already conceded seven goals in its first three league matches, Liverpool looked physically and mentally drained by comparison.

Iraola points to attacking struggles

After the match, Iraola said it was clear his team had struggled to create chances and find the net, which prevented them from making a difference in attack. Four league games into the season, Liverpool have collected six points - one win at Ipswich, home draws against Nottingham Forest and Fulham, and a draw away at Newcastle.

Goalkeeper Alisson told Sky Sports the squad was far from satisfied with the result, noting that three draws is not something worth celebrating while wearing the Liverpool shirt. He added that the team must learn to cope with a demanding schedule of matches on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Tuesdays, and needs to find the right mental approach.

New forward line struggles for rhythm

The club's £364m attacking trio - Alexander Isak, Bradley Barcola and Florian Wirtz - started together in the league for the first time. Despite some promising moments, the front three created far fewer chances than hoped. Isak had just 16 touches over 90 minutes, one of the lowest totals recorded by an outfield player for the club.

Iraola acknowledged the team lacked freshness following a short turnaround between fixtures, and said Liverpool must adapt quickly given the packed schedule ahead, which includes at least seven more Champions League matches and a Carabao Cup tie against Tottenham.
