Clopp blames striker for Liverpool's successive losses

Today's defeat, which was sixth consecutive in Anfield, also dims Liverpool's hopes of ending up on Premierliga's four - scale ball.

Never in his history had Liverpool lost more than four games in a row at home.

Clopp, whose team has been hit hard by multiple injuries this season, has pointed the finger of impeachment towards its attackers, however.

We had times when we could put an impact on the game. For us it was a serious blow that we took a goal just before the end of the first part. We tried to react. After all, we are not aiming goals and this is the big problem”, Clopp said after the match.

It's obvious. They're having a good time, they're a good team. We all agree that a team like this should stay at Premierligle”, he added.

This was the eighth match without victory in Anfield for Liverpool, after equaling West Brom and Manchester United before losing row against Burnley, Brighton, Manchester City, Everton, Chelsea and now Fulham.

Liverpool remains in 7th position with 43 points, four short of four. But Chelsea will raise her to seven points of superiority over the defending champion if she wins this week's meeting against Everton on Monday.
