Ademola Lookman was booked towards the end of Liverpool’s draw away to Fulham today for a studs up challenge on young Neco Williams. This is a challenge Jurgen Klopp will not want to watching as he is already so low in firepower in terms of defence, another injured defender would spell the end of their title hopes.
Neco is a young Welsh right back just breaking into Liverpool’s XI and this was a dirty challenge that Caught Offside noticed that many missed that could have lead to a long term injury. This was only 5 minutes after Neco’s introduction and even Joel Matip was taken off at half time due to injury.
Will Liverpool be able to fight for the title with this injury stricken squad or will they have to buy more players in January? Will Neco be able to make a mark on the Liverpool starting XI or will he forever be in Alexander Arnold’s shadow?
