It will be exactly 12 months on Sunday since Liverpool last played in front of a full house at Anfield and atmosphere is not the only thing to have evaporated around Jürgen Klopp’s team in that time. An unprecedented fifth successive home defeat, sustained against Chelsea on Thursday, was another demonstration of how confidence, intensity and authority has been stripped from the champions. The Premier League table suggests Fulham are an ideal candidate for a recovery but, as Scott Parker’s side showed at Everton recently, that would be a dangerous assumption. Andy Hunter
