A dry pitch is no excuse for a sub-par Liverpool performance according to Graeme Souness, after the Reds started their Premier League season with a draw against Fulham.
Having overcome Manchester City in the Community Shield a week earlier, Jurgen Klopp's side arrived in West London for proper business, expecting a win. But instead they found a hard-working Fulham side that limited the FA Cup and League Cup holders' opportunities and were ultimately good value for a point.
After the match, Klopp tried to explain his team's performance. Speaking to BT Sport, he said: "The best thing about the game is the result. A really bad game. How can that happen? The attitude was not right in the beginning. We tried to react after 15 minutes. The pitch was dry, stuff like this. Really difficult.”
