According to Jurgen Klopp, having clinched victories in all 10 matches at Anfield this season, Liverpool continues to cast an intimidating shadow on visiting teams, transforming dream away days into veritable nightmares for opposition players.
The Reds showcased their dominance with a resounding 4-0 triumph over LASK in the Europa League on Thursday, extending their unblemished record on home turf.
Now, as they prepare to face Fulham in the upcoming Premier League clash on Sunday, Klopp’s assertion underscores the formidable challenge awaiting any team attempting to secure points at the fortress that is Anfield.
Asked about the Anfield factor, Klopp said: “We always enjoy it in our bad spells as well. It is our home, it must be a difficult place to come. ”
“I said to the boys today, every player, if you’re not playing at Liverpool and you’re in a different country then you see the group and get the draw, playing at Anfield is a dream – but it must be a nightmare and that is what we we try to do.
“It didn’t work out all the time but when our people are at it then it makes a massive difference. We were always together [with the fans] really good, it is cool but I think my best skill is not feeling at all winning streaks, I don’t feel it. Because the next game is so important, so difficult, so different, I don’t think they help really – maybe [it makes] other teams think it’s a difficult place to go.”
