There used to be a time not too long ago when Liverpool playing a lesser Premier League side at Anfield was virtually a guaranteed win.The Reds became almost impenetrable at home under Jurgen Klopp, going 68 consecutive Premier League matches unbeaten at Anfield, a record which spanned close to four years.It is a different story these days, and though Liverpool have not lost in their two Premier League home games so far under Andoni Iraola, they have not won them either. In fact, the Reds have not won a league game in front of their own fans since April, with Saturday’s draw against Fulham equalling a terrible, 15-year record.

Do you think Andoni Iraola picked the wrong team against Fulham? What would you have done differently?

Liverpool face Fulham at Anfield Liverpool draw four home matches for the first time since 2011Though it is still early in Iraola’s reign, and he may well go on to make Anfield a real fortress once again, the facts are that Liverpool should be beating both Forest and Fulham in their own stadium.Stretch it back to last season, and Liverpool’s last four Premier League results at Anfield – after they beat Crystal Palace 3-1 on April 25th – are the two draws from this season, and two 1-1’s from the end of 2025/26, when they couldn’t beat Chelsea or Brentford in what proved to be Arne Slot’s final match in charge.Remarkably, the Fulham draw marks the first time Liverpool have drawn four consecutive Anfield Premier League games since November 2011.There have been worse runs in that time, and for all his glories Klopp took Liverpool on a six-match home losing run during the 2020/21 campaign, but the failure to get over the line in four games which they really should be winning is a big concern for the Reds nonetheless.READ MORE: Thomas Frank makes prediction about Andoni Iraola at Liverpool after watching them vs FulhamPerhaps the biggest worry is that it is no longer a surprise to see Liverpool falter against weaker opposition at Anfield.The 2025/26 campaign was a dismal one for home supporters, as the Reds won only 10 of their Anfield fixtures, with the second half of the season especially bad.It says plenty about why Slot was sacked that Liverpool have won only four of their 12 home games during the calendar year, drawing seven.While drawing is never as bad as losing, this is not a habit Iraola wants to get into too often at his new club.Photo by Gaspafotos/MB Media/Getty ImagesThe Basque is something of a draw specialist, and though his run of 22 matches is currently the longest unbeaten streak of any Premier League manager, 13 of those have been stalemates.At times, it is fine to take a point, but Liverpool fans will never settle for a share of the spoils against any Premier League side at Anfield, and nor should they.The crowd have their part to play in this, and as frustrations grow there is a belief that being in front of their own expectant fans is putting pressure on the Liverpool players, but if that is the case, then they simply do not have what it takes to play for the club. Somewhere along the way, though, they have lost whatever that was.
