Marco Silva is under no illusions as far as Liverpool’s Premier League title credentials are concerned.
To then say that Fulham’s 3-2 win over the Merseysiders in London on Sunday afternoon was impressive would be selling them short.
The Cottagers were, on the balance of proceedings, the far more deserving side of the three points on the table.
Liverpool, for their part, will surely only see this as an unfortunate stumble in an otherwise well-measured, steady jog towards the finish line in what has otherwise been an impressive 2024/25 season.
Just as long as fans aren’t forced to bear witness to another ‘mid-table’-esque display in a week’s time.
Marco Silva knows Liverpool will be Premier League champions
Marco Silva more than hinted that he expects Liverpool to be crowned Premier League champions this season.
What was far more remarkable, however, was the fact the former Everton head coach was unwilling to welcome too much praise for his Fulham side’s latest major league scalp.
“I can’t rate this higher than some of the other big results we’ve had,” the Fulham boss was quoted by Sky Sports.
“Maybe it looks a bit bigger because Liverpool haven’t lost an away game, and we know what will happen with them this season.”
We’ll leave it to the 47-year-old to determine which of his side’s results this term were the most praiseworthy.
However, we’d like to step forward and offer our congratulations to the Londoners for what was a sensational home display and further evidence of the club’s stellar rise under Silva.
Hope for Arsenal?
With the greatest of respect to Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal side – forget about it.
An 11-point lead with seven games to go should (should very much being the operative word) mean this title race is done and dusted.
That all said, it would do all our nerves the world of good to see Liverpool record a convincing home win against West Ham United in a week’s time.
Even more so if some of our under-performing stars, Mo Salah included, could showcase a marked upturn following a poor run of games.
It’s just a pity we couldn’t make it 14 points clear and further demoralise our competitors this weekend!

Lets buy Yamal, Raphinha, Wirtz, Kerkez an 2 great young defender for Liverpool… Pipedream…
Most haters of Liverpool just not want to see them win the Premier League. Liverpool were the best English performing side in the League. Most haters and pundits never regarded them as title contenders because of Slot. Looking at the last 5 seasons close title claims and 2 losses in the Champions league finals. They never have been 13 or 14 in the League . Liverpool are the greatest and fearful English club in Europe.
Well said!!
They’re just hoping to see us stumble but it’s a pipe dream bro 🤣🤣🤣🤣, Let them say whatever they like 👌👌👌 that’s their problem
We are not arsenal we don’t get the jitters
That is so true others wants to see us crumble but that will never happen at all. We will run away with the title.
Just a blip
Well done Fulham, they are a very good team and they played much better than they did at Anfield and got a draw there yes we were down to 10 men but robbo was rightly sent off there.
Yes we had too many not at it yesterday but we were also rattled by a very good direct Fulham side. VVD was unusually all at sea at times. Ibou and robbo both all over the place. Dom just had his worse game and Mo salah was in Robertsons pocket
Slot needs to be locked in room and forced to watch the PSG, New Castle, Everton and now Fulham. Afterwards he should be asked to identify tge common patterns. We are bullied in midfield and defence and our forwards never quite receive proper balls/passes. Even if you bought Vinicuous, Mbappe, or Rodrygo we will not improve without examining our difficulties and adjust. Even worse we play badly and still field almost exactly the same team. Of course problems in defence might be out of anyone’s control
No sterling perfomance from no Fulham. Liverpool went to London this time to gift Fulham and London 3points. So, no credit to Silva. But credit to Liverpool and Slot for the Sunday afternoon gift for Fulham. Period.
