This is it!

After several disappointing draws, we handed Burnley a hiding and then turned it on away at Bayern Munich. Can we do the same to the second from bottom team?

An early goal against these and we should cruise it. Their abysmal defensively. Hope we destroy them.

They are one of the worst defensive teams in the Premier League era.

Most goals conceded in a Premier League season
100 - Swindon Town (1993/94 - 42 matches)
89 - Derby County (2007/08 - 38 matches)

Fulham have conceded 68 already. If they carry that on it equates to 86 over the 38 games.

Fill your boots lads

I remember that season we finished 2nd under Rafa. Towards the end we had Fulham away and needed to win to stay in the fight. It was headed for a draw when Yossi popped up in the final few minutes with the winner. I jumped out of my chair and screamed “WE’RE GONNA WIN THE LEAGUE”!!!! Much embarrassment ensued. I still cringe when I think of it now but won’t ever forget it!

I went to that game and we were sat behind the goal at the end furthest away from Putney bridge. We'd kept quiet all game but the moment Yossi scored I thought '**** it' and got up. Turns out most of the people in the stand were reds all keeping quiet

Good things happen against Fulham, remember the last minute penalty in 13/14 season (I think?).

'We weren't surprised we did it or how we did it'

On having the belief to win the Premier League or Champions League: “We haven’t changed our mood.

“We are just focused on the season. The players were happy after [beating Bayern Munich] but we will just stay focused.

“We weren’t surprised we did it or how we did it but I am happy we proved it and now we are completely concentrated on Fulham, staying in the same confident but greedy mood and being aggressive and direct, and doing everything you need to do in a football game.”


'We stopped Bayern and credit to my boys'

On Bayern: “It was really impressive the win against Bayern and it shows we made the next step up.

“Last year was sensational free-flowing football but this was from my point of view the most mature performance we have put in so far in Europe.

“It is rare that one team shines completely and in that you have to work for each yard and then be there in the decisive moments and I was really happy.

“People spoke that Bayern aren’t what they usually are but we stopped them and credit to my boys”.


Reds' team news

Klopp on injuries: “With Hendo [Jordan Henderson] we don’t know - it’s serious enough to rule him out for the weekend.

“The international break will hopefully be long enough to bring him back.

“It is to do with his ankle. It’s the best it can be but still not good enough, it’s OK though.

“We have to see if Naby [Keita] can train today, he’ll come in later for checks and it was positive so hopefully it stays positive when he goes outside.

“Ox [Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain] will be 100% fit after the international break.”


'It's not for me at the end, it’s for the people'

On whether Jurgen Klopp could write himself in the history books: “I’ve never thought about myself like that.

“People spoke about me at Dortmund but I don’t need that.

“I just want to help the team be as successful as we can, I’m not searching for people to remember in 50 years.

“I respect the desire of the people and players and I can be part of this dream but it is not for me at the end, it’s for the people.”
