Initially, Liverpool lost points, allowing the other teams to get closer and reach this team in the Premier League table. However, reaching a team like Liverpool with 36 points in 15 games is not easy, and the only team they can reach Slot and his players in is currently Chelsea because Manchester City is not in good form, and Arsenal is far from the top of the table.
Andrew Robertson, a Liverpool player, was the main reason for this result. Even fans of this team were complaining about his performance because of the red card he received; otherwise, Liverpool could have had the chance to beat Fulham.
I agree that Liverpool has not been doing well lately which has given other teams chance to catch up. But it is still impressive that they have 36 points after 15 games which shows how strong they are. Among teams that are trying to catch up Chelsea seems to be most likely to catch up with Liverpool. This is because Manchester City is not playing well right now and Arsenal is far behind top teams. About Andrew Robertson performance getting red card was a mistake but it is not fair to blame him alone. Whole team performance and plan also played role in how they did against Fulonce they did against Fulham.
