On Saturday (14th), Premier League leader Liverpool failed to take all three points for the second consecutive round of the league after a thrilling battle with Fulham at home to a 2-2 draw. In this game, the biggest weakness of Liverpool's defense is undoubtedly Andrew Robertson's left lock. Recently, he first set himself up, then in more than 70 minutes of time due to the red card tired of the team, continuous errors make the Red Army in the fight for the road to the Premier League title on the back of a heavy burden.
Liverpool started well in the early stages of the match. However, in the 11th minute, Fulham player Anders Penrina took a clever shot in a tight space and the ball deflected into the Liverpool goal. While Robertson's miss looked like bad luck, he was to blame for the fatal mistake in the 17th minute. After being beaten by Harry Wilson and kicked down by his opponent, he could not escape being shown a red card and leaving the field.
Despite being down a player, Liverpool did not give up on the game. Just two minutes after halftime, Gap's header helped his team equalize. Despite the numerical advantage, Fulham took the lead again in the 76th minute through a goal kick by Rodrigo Menis. In the last four minutes of the match, Liverpool brought on Diego Zu, who was returning from injury, and his cool shot from the top of the box snatched a valuable point for his team.
The 30-year-old Robson seems to be a ticking time bomb lately, having given away two penalties in the past month (against Southampton and Real Madrid), and this red card was the Achilles' heel of the Liverpool defense. However, coach Schlosser defended Robatson: Robatson suffered a knee injury early in the game. Hopefully he will be able to hold out. He was outspoken, but later found himself in good shape. Unfortunately, the red card incident happened. Normally he should have been quicker (to clear the ball), which can be attributed to his defensive errors.
