**What was said**
-----------------
_**Fulham head coach Silva**_
“Firstly, \[Liverpool are\] the most consistent team in this league so far. Really, really strong in any moment of the game, making life really difficult for any team that they play against.
“Great, in terms of the collective quality of the team, the impact of the manager, and, of course, the individual quality they have. I think everything together is the reason why they are on the top of the league.
“In the Champions League, they won six out of six, and because of that, they deserve all the credit for the way they have been playing.
“It's going to be the next one for us, a really tough game, but we have been responding well for these type of games so far this season.
“Even against them last season, the games at Anfield were really tight games, and the team responded really well, and let’s hope we can have the same type of performance, but with a different result for us, if we can.”
