What Liverpool have just done won't have gone unnoticed by Arsenal and Man City

Liverpool's European adventure is over for another year.

The Reds failed to overturn the three-goal deficit imposed by Atalanta during the Europa League quarter-final first leg at Anfield, scoring only once in Italy to crash out 3-1 on aggregate.

Jurgen Klopp's side will now turn their attention back to the Premier League as they compete for glory alongside Arsenal and Manchester City.

Up next for Liverpool is a trip to the capital on Sunday afternoon to take on Fulham, in another game that promises to test the team's capabilities to the maximum.

Looking ahead to this contest, two Reds have shared their views as part of a weekly ECHO fan column.

Andrew Cullen (Widnes, @brothersred5) - Liverpool are stumbling across the finish line

We had hoped that Liverpool’s dip in form would be transitory, but feeble performances against Crystal Palace at home, and Atalanta away, demonstrate that Liverpool have not shifted the malaise that has settled over the team.

What is perhaps most striking and surprising is how Liverpool’s play has suddenly become pedestrian and casual. Our attacking displays have rightly been applauded this season, but the spotlight deserves to be on the attacking players for all the wrong reasons at the moment. When they are not missing chances, they are giving the ball away.

Liverpool are stuttering and spluttering to the finish line, whilst Manchester City are moving effortlessly into a higher gear. Can Klopp summon the final energy reserves to win our remaining fixtures? Even that may not be enough to lift the Premier League crown, but Klopp deserves a rousing and rapturous finish to what has been an exhilarating ride.

James Noble (Worcestershire, @james_noble98) - Tough games just keep on coming

It’s been another tough week, there’s little escaping that. Sunday’s 1-0 defeat to Crystal Palace represented a setback in our pursuit of the Premier League title, while Thursday’s Europa League exit at the hands of Atalanta, despite a 1-0 second-leg win in Bergamo, represented a disappointingly timid end to our last European campaign under Jürgen Klopp.

Both opponents deserve credit while, from our perspective, context remains valuable. Manchester City and Arsenal – themselves fresh from European exits – are both, potentially, within a result of us. It doesn’t feel like we have a great deal of momentum, currently, but we know how quickly things can change – and the makings of it may already be present.

There was a better tempo to parts of our midweek display, which also brought our first clean sheet in nearly seven weeks, while Alisson Becker and Trent Alexander-Arnold have both enjoyed promisingly sharp returns. There are potential foundations there.

Such broadening options may prove priceless in the coming days, as challenging trips to Fulham, Everton and West Ham United fall within six days of each other.

Nine points won’t come easily, but such a week could see momentum swing more in our favour if we build on those foundations.
