Graeme Souness has slammed 'unacceptable' Liverpool after Jurgen Klopp's side put in a poor 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 performance despite the extensive changes, with a late Mario Lemina strike giving Scott Parker's side a huge three points in their quest for survival.
And Souness, who has described the champions as an 'easy touch' of late, labelled his former side's performance as 'unacceptable', insisting that they played 'second fiddle' to the Cottagers.
