Neville giving Mane man of the match  Thought he was shocking today really. Last half hour he played like Ali Dia.
Not really sure what happened to us after Toure went off. We looked well in control and if anything, adding to our lead. I don't think the sub changed the game as such, just that we seemed to retreat as soon as it happened. Annoying to lose the 2 points with them missing their chances, and that one for Lallana. But a draw is a fair result overall probably.

[JackWard33]

Because we're too attacking!! We have three forwards, two attacking midfielders and two full backs as wingers, no other team plays as attacking as us, we should be leading scorers and then some. The fact is out goal difference is the issue.

It's better than City, Arsenal and Uniteds - and I don't know what it would prove if it wasn't - stop spouting utter chutney

[Prelude no.5]

It's out of our hands yes but there's still a lot of games to go.

[12Kings]

The thrust from Can going forward surprised even city, best player on the pitch this evening. He's playing like he did last season again now.

[daj79]

4th is really out of our hands now.

Not impressed really. When we go 1 up and city looks on the rocks we could have extended our lead. But instead we went back to our shell.

Man u by winning both games in hand going to climb above us now. Arsenal could equal us on points by doing the same.

We all laugh at how shit Man u is but they might be having the last laugh at the end of the season. And that by playing games in Europa as well.

I honestly think we blew our CL chances today.

Surely this is a wind up?

[themightybeard]

Thought we played well today.
Lallana's miss,  and Origi being outpaced by otamendi after only being on the field 15 minutes keeps replacing in my mind.

What? He had about 10 yards to make up, and you can't fuse through people - doesn't matter how much faster you are than someone if they get their body in the way well enough. Find that a bizarre criticism of the lad.

[Omygoditsomar]

Lallanas miss toure  fair result Manchester derby will be interesting

[mrantarctica]

Origi was quality this time last year. What has happened to him?

Form is temporary, class is permanent?

[Golyo]

How Fernandinho finished this match without a booking is probably one of the wonders of the season.

[Malcolm Night]

Top 4 still very much in our hands, Utd have much harder remaining fixtures than we do coupled with Europe and Arsenal seem to be imploding at the minute. It comes down to us to seeing off the smaller teams which we've been unable to do this season really, but Burnley was a good start.

[Father Ted]

He said something about them in an interview last week that they didn't like.

Ahh, missed that.

[Betty Blue]

How the fuck did Lallana miss that?   

AND then why didn't Bobby square it to Lallana for the chance afterwards?

I think you answered your own question!

[CognacBut]

Hard to watch that, for many reasons, but a great point if we get 3 against the Ev.

[Upinsmoke]

Origi was quality this time last year. What has happened to him?

It's hard when your starting the odd game and being brought on with time running out. Looks like he can't find a rhythm.

[Funky_Gibbons]

What a miss from Lallana. That separates the good/very good from the very good/great players.

Aguero agrees with this.

[LovelyCushionedHeader]

In the middle of a Premier League game in front of tens of thousands of people? Probably not.

Mate, I've scored much better in front of 20 people and three dogs. I'm sure I'm capable.

[RedForeverTT]

Thought we played well today.
Lallana's miss,  and Origi being outpaced by otamendi after only being on the field 15 minutes keeps replacing in my mind.

I had the same thought when I saw that. Though he was a limited footballer, I consoled myself that at least he has pace to burn but even that looks to have gone. Sooner or later, there will be questions about his point of being in the team.

[Chris~]

Because we're too attacking!! We have three forwards, two attacking midfielders and two full backs as wingers, no other team plays as attacking as us, we should be leading scorers and then some. The fact is out goal difference is the issue.

Pretty sure we just played a side with a midfield of yaya toure, de bruyne and silva and who've played Kolarov at centre back plenty this season.

[jillcwhomever]

how this game finished 1-1 I will never know. Both sides should have scored and had 2 penalties each. Having said that, Adam with the worst miss I have seen since Joe Allen at Goodison, miss of the season.

Can and Gini were fantastic, Can in particular with his best performance this year. I think everyone in the back except Ragnar who was very iffy looked solid,.Matip played well as did Clyne and Milner.

Firmino imo should have scored, Coutinho was disappoi ting and Mane so and so.

Ill take the point.

There were a number of chances which were bad misses from both teams. I mean City twice failed to score into an empty net today, amazing really.

[Dim Glas]

How could Neville say it was a debatable pen.
His foot is head height, he kicks him (with a slight touch of the ball) and jumps on his back!

the guys on Fox Sports where the same, no mention of the fact he literallly jumped on his back and almost booted his head 'oh he got a sligt touch'.

Could have and should have had another peno too, but then City should have had one, He's yet another dreadful referee.

[disgraced cake]

I've already forgiven them.

 

I'm only trying to make a point to strangers on the internet! But seriously, should have finished them, good side or not.

Who says United will win both games? Arsenal are shit at the moment.

We've got a great chance of getting top four, I don't think anyone other than Chelsea is guaranteed a top four place. Spurs might still collapse, Arsenal and United are terrible and City aren't all that great either.

[BazC]

Pretty amazing game... we had the chances, they had the chances, point's probably fair.

That Lallana chance... gutted he missed it, it would have been an utterly amazing goal, and he had the easiest part in it! One thing that did annoy me, apart from that, was that 5mins that Toure was still on the pitch but couldn't walk. We should have decimated them - we won the ball a few times, but our attackers weren't breaking quick enough - Mane the chief culprit. I think they were all just incredibly knackered by then and we just ran out of juice way too early.

It's imperative we bolster the team this summer - if we had some more options I think Mane would have been off early too. Klopp probably also needs to take a look at the fitness planning, because we've had no European football and been out of all cups early on and we're still looking knackered at this stage of the season. It'll be interesting to see if it's been apparent given the nature of our games (we've played all the top teams in this last couple of months), or if it is that they're not at peak fitness for the run in.

Very good game of football, and a decent result given Arsenal's yesterday. Hopefully we can rack those points up whilst the rest of the top 5-6 teams play each other over the next 10 games now. We're in a great position for a Top 4 finish but we do need to make sure we can break down the lower league now.

Isn't their game in hand against City? I doubt they'll win it.

[12Kings]

I'm confident we'll get 4th this season

We attacked several times after taking the lead, it was City forcing themselves back into it that pushed us back.

Bit of a negative take that really. Got through one of the hardest fixtures on the calendar with a point.

[Kop307]

Would have took a point before the game

Happy with a point but a few things really fucked me off about that game.

But I'm seriously concerned about Coutinho.

Origi was a fucking disgrace when he came on, jogging about, nothing won in the air, barely completely a pass, lost every battle. Someone needs to have a word with that lad and let him know who he's playing for. Utterly fucking awful, Origi.

Lallana as well. I hope someone is having a word with him about that miss. That is fucking criminal. If we miss out on the top 4 by 2 points, how bad will that look.

On we go. More points thrown away from a winning position. At 1-0 City were there to be beaten, we sat off and fucking begged City to score. Not good enough on the counter.

[Kekule]

Given the others in the top 6 all still have to play some of the others then I think that's a good point.  They can't all go on incredible runs from now until the end of the season. We take care of ourselves and we're okay.

[Yevgeny]

Was a good point. Hardly a disgrace drawing away to City. Yeah, Utd have 2 games in hand but they have to play Spurs away, City away, Arsenal away and Chelsea before the season's end, in addition to the inevitable draws in games they'll be expected to win (Bournemouth, Hull etc) and their Europa League distraction. Confident we'll finish above City and maybe even Spurs, who will struggle for goals without Kane like they did earlier in the season. Please god Coutinho will get his mojo back soon though. Showed some promising signs in the 2nd half today. Can, Gini and Lallana were immense.

[seal75]

Fair result in the end, Can was a monster out there.  Origi has fallen off a cliff.

Beaten by Otamendi on a sprint... says it all !

[HeartAndSoul]

Shoutout to emre who was fantastic today. Been poor most of the season but defo his best game this season. Hopefully he keep it up

[gerrardisgod]

4th is really out of our hands now.

The rest all have each other to play and points to take off each other. We don't.

[Bangin Them In]

We win, draw or lose together

Except you Adam, get off the bus and make your own way back

[kennedy81]

Weird that he got booed too, he was a solid performer for City and didn't exactly fuck them over when he left. He'd have only been sat on the bench there anyway.

He only said he wanted to win things at Liverpool, and City fans took it the wrong way because they're not very bright.

[sms1986]

Mate, I've scored much better in front of 20 people and three dogs. I'm sure I'm capable.

Yeah, but there's a lot more pressure in a huge stadium surrounded by a crowd.

[pyroparty]

Good grief, this cant be far off the worst post this forum has ever seen. Ridiculous. And I like how a side that can barely win a home game and cant beat anyone good are apparently nailed on to win every week. Bizarre.

You didn't watch the game if that's your conclusion. WTF!

[Lofty Ambitions]

And... breathe. Was fuming at the Mane not getting the penalty in the first half, but at the end, numb, mostly. Could have gone either way, 1 point to take home at least.

[jepovic]

Strange thing to say. I'm shit and could have scored that.

Yeah. That's what separates the regular sitters from the omfg how could he

[JackWard33]

Redknapp saying there's nothing you can do on their goal..... its a great ball but you need your centre back to be sharper than their striker then it gets cut out.
Having Milner and Klavan on the same side isn't something we can get away with
