Iraola: We are expecting a difficult meeting with Fulham

Liverpool head coach Andoni Iraola shared his expectations for the upcoming match of the fourth round of the Premier League against Fulham. The meeting will take place on September 12 at Anfield. The Spanish specialist drew attention to the confident play of the Londoners with the ball and the high percentage of possession in the first matches of the season. "The thing is, we've only played three games in the Premier League, so I think it's too early to draw any global conclusions about any team. I think Fulham are a clear example. They've done well in their previous three games in the Championship, losing their games by just one goal. If you look at their performance in the opening games of the season, without knowing the number of points, you'd think they already have four or five as they control the flow of the matches and their ball possession rate is over 60%.They feel very confident with the ball. Fulham has enough technical footballers. It is difficult to press against this team, as it has a well-developed technical component. But they still conceded goals, that's why they probably didn't win. But I have no doubt that they are working on it. We know most of the Fulham players - their team hasn't changed too much. They signed a few artists, but the core remained the same. In recent years, this team has proven itself in the Premier League, so we expect a difficult meeting," said Iraola. Earlier, Araujo called Barcelona one of the favorites for the Champions League.
