Liverpool is set to face Fulham today, looking to solidify their position at the top of the league. However, Ian Wright isn’t so optimistic about their chances.
During his appearance on ‘The Overlap,’ the ex-Arsenal striker predicted a 2-1 victory for Fulham against the Reds. He elaborated on his stance, saying, “I’m a bit concerned about Liverpool’s bench right now. With Nunez, the question is—will they score enough goals?”
This comment seemed a bit out of place, as Darwin Nunez has faced some unwarranted criticism despite his performance.
Ian Wright is betting on Fulham to overcome Liverpool this Sunday.
With just eight games left and four more wins needed to clinch the title, it’s unlikely that Arne Slot will make many lineup changes at this crucial point in the season.
Our bench strength is a major reason we lead the league, and it’s likely we won’t have to rely too heavily on substitute players until we’ve secured the trophy. Once that happens, other players can step in to contribute.
Sure, Craven Cottage is no easy place to visit; Fulham’s a strong team, and we could potentially drop points there. But the pundit’s mindset seems off here.
Previously, our head coach had to shut down some questionable remarks from Michael Owen, and the fans, players, and coaching staff are all poised to back our successes.
Virgil van Dijk has also responded similarly to critique from another former Manchester United player, demonstrating the solidarity within the squad.
Hopefully, we can continue celebrating this squad as one of the most dominant in Premier League history since our last championship win.
