The Official Liverpool FC Thread [Vol 12]

Shame we couldn't hang on for the win, would've took the point before kick off though, as long as we win next week.
Was more two dropped than one gained, but the team played well on the whole, Migs & Lovren were great. I can see us getting stronger towards the end of the season.

Jeez I was a pity today watching the game, no idea why I was so worked up for this one. Think it meant more than the 3 points on offer. I hate to admit I turned it off with 10 mins to go as I felt the inevitable was coming 
and at that stage my nerves were shot !!
All in all a decent point I suppose. Would most likely have taken that this morning.

Over the course of the rest of the season, a GK with some confidence (hoping that that's what we might have after this afternoon) will be worth far more to us than 2 extra points today. Nice though they would've been.
Good point, that. I hope Mings keeps it up.Interesting, if brief, write up about today's game: https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2017/jan...
I particularly liked this paragraph at the end (something I wondered about after the result) -

In the top-six “mini-league” between these two teams plus Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City and Tottenham, every other side has lost at least two games – apart from Liverpool, who remain unbeaten. In the Premier League’s most exciting managerial lineup ever, it is Klopp who has established himself as the most astute tactician in these head‑to‑head contests.

Get this nasty feeling well come flying out the box - go 2-0 up in the first half before letting 2 late goals in the 80-90th minute to draw 2-2.
Hate being (kinda) right.Actually a bit gutted rather than relieved to get a point - would be nice to stop conceding late goals.
Good to see the main guys back and Migs do well.
Chelsea have a tougher run in than us but I think it's fair to say our game against them really is our season defining game

Turned it off?!! Matches like that and the emotions stirred up are what being a fan is all about. For good or bad. Must admit when Milner scored the pen I celebrated in a way I rarely do these days. And then lived on my nerves for the next hour or more. Horrible at the time but a gutsy performance and a good point. and at that stage my nerves were shot !! All in all a decent point I suppose.

Absolutely. If Migs can consistently put in those type of performances then it's going to be a while before we see Karius again!
There must be something in knowing that Karius is genuinely challenging for his place that pulls out that extra little bit from Mings, even unconsciously, that makes the difference. Certainly worked yesterday.jammy-git said:
Fancy paying £100m for "one of the best midfielders in the World" and then going route one and cutting him out of the game completely! 
After his first half performance I can see exactly why he was bypassed in the second half.. given he came out for the second half at all and the branding round the stadium he must have one of these contracts where he has to play. The best thing about PP is clearly his agent. Flip Martian said:

Me too, I was driving though, with my 18 month old sat next to me. He spent the rest of the journey making me do it again and laughing at me, then started running round the house doing impressions of me when we got home. He did it when they equalised though. :-(
