'They had a bit of a strange season': Klopp assesses Fulham threat ahead of Cottagers clash

Jurgen Klopp was asked about his view on Marco Silva's Fulham ahead of Liverpool's trip to London to face his side.

"Now they won the last one against West Ham, so that helps probably as well," started the boss.

"I only had a look at it but [they won] with less possession than West Ham, so obviously a slightly different approach to what they usually do. That's interesting.

"Marco is just an exceptional coach, I have to say, I always liked him, I always liked what he did and [what] he's doing there again.

"They had a bit of a strange season – they were not [doing] well, then particularly well, then again a few results which you were [like], 'Oh, what happened now?' but won five in a row and with really high results whenever that was.

"And now they are probably in a more solid period again and if you cannot fight for Europe then you should not be in a relegation battle.

"They fought a little bit for Europe, maybe still do, but will not be involved in a relegation battle, so that's a real statement.

"They can more or less be calm, be themselves and we have to see. It's always like this on a day like this, we have to show that we want it more than them, even when it's at their place. That's what we will try."
