Liverpool must be sick to death of Bobby De Cordova-Reid.
An integral reason for our four points against the Reds two years ago, he was a thorn in their side once again as we drew 2-2 at the Cottage on opening day.
But how much does it say about Fulham, that many were upset not to take all three points against one of the title favourites?
“I think it says a lot,” Bobby told the official website. “We’ve come a long way to be disappointed with only a point against Liverpool.
“It’s something that we can be proud of, but at the same time, we need to be getting the three points on the board.
“I think we did well, everyone pulled together. It showed how far we’ve come, now we’ve got to build on it and go again next week.
“We know the confidence and belief we have in our squad, and the quality we have in our squad. We showed that, it wasn’t to be but we got one point, so we move on.”
De Cordova-Reid and Neeskens Kebano were given the nod on the wings on Saturday, and carried on the form they showed last season, causing Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andrew Robertson no end of grief.
“It’s always nice to be on the pitch playing, with your teammates behind you and backing you up,” Bobby said. “I tried to be dynamic and creative, and I feel like everyone’s on song at the moment, and if we continue like that we’ll pick up a lot of points as the season goes on.
“I think if everyone pulls together individually with their performances then as a collective we’ll be okay.
“I do feel like we have something together, as a group, and I feel everyone’s confident of staying in the league and doing big things.
“We take it game by game, and the way we played against Liverpool has got to be the benchmark for every match.”
Another who carried their Championship form into the new season was Aleksandar Mitrović, who quickly poured cold water on the myth that he can’t compete at the top level.
“Listen, we know what quality Mitro has,” De Cordova-Reid stated. “He’s a goal scorer.
“He might not be having the best of games sometimes but we always know he’s going to be dangerous in the box, for both boxes.
“We know what quality he brings, and if we feed him we know he’ll score.”
