Graeme Souness slams 'unacceptable' Liverpool after woeful first half display against struggling Fulham, as Reds legend blasts Jurgen Klopp's champions for 'playing second fiddle to a side fighting relegation at home'

Graeme Souness has slammed 'unacceptable' Liverpool after Jurgen Klopp's side put in a poor first half performance against relegation strugglers Fulham at Anfield.

The German made seven changes from the side that lost to Chelsea in midweek in a bid to avoid an unprecedented sixth-successive at their home ground, that has so long been viewed as a fortress.

However, the Reds put in another flat opening 45 minutes despite the extensive changes, with a late Mario Lemina strike giving Scott Parker's side a surprise lead heading into the interval.
