Klopp knew that a win would have been undeserved and admitted that he had not seen his team’s flat performance against a feisty Fulham coming after the previous weekend’s victory over Manchester City

In the end, there were just a couple of inches in it. If Jordan Henderson’s first-time shot from distance in added time had dipped a little more and hit the net rather than the crossbar, Liverpool would have come from behind to beat newly-promoted Fulham as expected. 

Last season’s Premier League runners-up would have begun their latest tilt at the title with three points and all might have seemed well for the Reds. But Jurgen Klopp, the Liverpool manager, would not have been fooled.
