Klopp was livid at the ref for not allowing him to bring Adam on

Well well well

Another three points that have turned into a point. Which is fine. That's what the superfans would have you believe. People wonder why the crowd is so quiet when we shit ourselves under the slightest bit of pressure. Great long clearance from Milner which invited the ball for the Chelsea equaliser.  All good though. This happens to most teams, dropping points from winning positions.

Jurgen's collapsing reds are coming up the hill.

They are the champions, we had a tough game mid week, they scored a fluke goal. You font know what you are talking about.

Worrying looking at the images showing on analysis. Our back four are not in straight line. Especially Klavan and Gomez.. I have seen in other games too Gomez is always off the straight line. Hope he learns it quickly to maintain the defense line. Have high hopes on him.

You can't blame him, he was rushing to tell people that he "told us so".

[BobPaisley3]

Sooner rather than later we’ll be in for a striker. Firmino simply can’t play every week and I’m not sure Sturridge is good enough anymore to be our second option. Injuries look to have taken their toll, he’s lost a yard of pace. Won’t be many tougher games for him than tonight to be fair but don’t feel he contributed much at all.
On the plus side, the back four were pretty decent, contained Chelsea well.

What? He even said so in the post match interview

Edit - oh wait I see what you're saying

Indeed

[Gazza-LFC]

Thought on a individual basis Henderson was very poor again. The amount of times he was skinned and was on the wrong side was awful.

[ElDuderino]

Mignolet's fault? Fuck off. Didn't play that well though. 0-0 would've been a fair result, both were lucky, theirs took the piss. Given who was out there we played okay, salah glorious as ever. Mane should've came on earlier. Tottenham drew, united are shite. Well in the race, come on huddersfield!

[Six Beardy]

Two games in a row Coutinho’s stunk the place out but avoids criticism because people are too busy saying Henderson’s “not a leader".

Much as I love him, Coutinho plays for himself... laying on a pass for someone else is always a reluctant, second best option for him if he can't get away a shot at goal himself. When it works for him it's great but when it doesn't he's really frustrating to watch, a virtual passenger at times. For a player valued at over £100m he rarely, if ever, runs or controls a game. We've had two big games this week and he's had very little impact in either. By premiership standards he's a cut above (and clearly a massive talent), but he's not really progressed over the last few years into being the indispensible world class player he has the potential to be.

[RK7]

Fair result in the end and no shame taking a point off of the champions but dam do we live dangerously.

[Yorkykopite]

I can't comment on the performance since I haven't seen the game.

I've seen the goals though. Ours was so well crafted. Theirs was obviously a fluke. Could Mignolet have saved it? Probably not. He's too slow. A goalie with quicker feet might have stood a chance though.

[Beard]

"Disgusting" - can you actually hear yourself describing our captain in those words after a draw against the Champions ? Seriously take a look at yourself. No wonder the atmosphere is so shit if the ground is full of people like you.

I'm not calling Henderson disgusting am I? I'm saying its a disgusting decision that he's our captain.

Great opportunity, 12 points minimum there. We’ve now played the top 6 where as they still have games to come against eachother.

[Caligula?]

I thought he was much better than in midweek and had a decent game. But a captain he is definitely not. To suggest that he is the leader of these group of players is laughable.

Yep today was fine but the team will deserve criticim if it takes less than 11-12 points from that.

I love Phil to death but he's no Hazard is he ? Maybe that's why he kicked him. Hazard disappeared for a good 15 mins afterwards and Phil not even booked.

[DonkeyWan]

Personally I think this side are on a very exciting trajectory. Most of the new additions look like they are better than what they are replacing. People tend to forget how many of this side were inherited. The team is now performing well in Europe and in the league, even with the additional workload. Liverpool seem less inclined to lose to bad teams away and look super solid at home. They are competitive with any of the top 6. There is a clear distance in quality between some of the team and the rest, but it also makes it easier to identify problems and correct them. We know Keita is on the way to firm up the middle. One more playmaker in there and the side will be far more solid. One or two decent backs and I think this is a squad that could push for the league. I find it frustrating when people can't see the see the progress being made and instead focus on stages of this progress and treat them like definitive moments. More annoying is the relentless complaints about weaknesses in the squad that we know the club want to address but that can't be addressed until January.

[Sarge]

Good performance and Gomez was excellent, just to add. Willian you jammy bastard.

[FLRed67]

We got draws against two tough oppo's in one week. The coming run of games is against easier opposition. The big question I am left with is what pissed Mane off?. He looked really annoyed with Klopp. Bought on too late?, came on with a niggle, or hadn't warmed up?.
e
And welcome back Phase!

I'm not sure Brighton away will be easy. They will be rested and at home.

Chelsea were there for the taking today. It will likely be between us two, Spurs and Arsenal for 2 Cl spots.This was an opportunity to inch ahead.

Mane's beef? I'm guessing the panicky subs at the end of the game, 15 minutes after it was obvious several players were dead on their feet, or just having a poor game.  We've seen this kind of strange game management before. One of Klopp's blind spots.

Worth remembering that Hazard disappeared for an entire year...

That's what we need to focus on. Exactly why Mane and Bobby were rested. These 5 games are very important to our season.

Klopp has said himself that he wanted to bring subs on earlier than he was eventually able to.

[zero zero]

Throwing away points from a winning position?

The only surprise is that it came from a fluke.

How do you throw points away to a fluke?

Some of you lack any sense of perspective. Chelsea looked dangerous for long periods of the game. A draw was a fair result. Strange though it may seem for some of you it's a draw that feels exactly like a draw.

[killer-heels]

Dont think midfield against the top side suits him. Thought he got snuffed out too easily, which further illustrates how fucking good Lallana has taken to that position and how good Silva is for City.

[Sarge]

No sure if posted but Salah did not celebrate out of respect of those murdered in Egypt not because he was an ex-Chelsea player.

[TepidT2O]

No I font. Thanks

Comic sans surely,,,.

Lots of weird pollyanna gatekeepers here, deciding who can and can't complain, and what they can and can't complain about. Maybe match threads aren't the place for you and your delicate sensibilities.

Dont Brighton have a mid-week game?

Meh.It was two tired teams who would rather be at home than playing.

The 8th draw this season that has felt like a defeat. 5 in the league and 3 in the champions league. Similar themes in all of them. Throwing away leads, being to weak mentally to manage a game and not being clinical enough. Its a collective thing rather than scapegoating individuals. We just panic. Matip is a very calm and composed player and even he starts to wobble. Look at the scramble in the first half Matip had 2 chances to clear and he fluffed both. The same in the second half, Chelsea were throwing crosses into the box and half the time it was our own defenders who either headed the ball the wrong way or sliced a clearance up into the air.

Were fucked Psychologically at the moment. The crowd know it and sense it and the players do. The games come thick and fast now but dont be fooled with the opposition. These teams have the perception that were soft and weak mentally and they will have nothing to lose. They will be rubbing their hands to take us on. Klopp and the players need to change this perception ASAP or we will just be a soft team like Arsenal for the last 6 or 7 years flattering to deceive and a team you cant trust.

[BobPaisley3]

Dont Brighton have a mid-week game?

Yeah everyone does. Palace at home, their ‘derby.’

Mignolet today wasnt the issue through yorky, yes another keeper might of moved his feet quicker but the way we conceded it, the deep line, shitting ourselves under pressure. Basically if we are 2 nil up we find a way to concede 2. The minute we are put under pressure you can see it coming.

Although when he flew off his line, he stopped a certain goal...
