That was shit to be honest and this shoehorning Alvarez in has to stop asap! Kovacic should have started but with their injuries currently and us going one up that really was a truly shit performance again at that fucking ground! We should have been putting them to the sword but again our big players done nothing besides Kev taking that corner. Lucky at the end as well but this team isn’t firing at all and in current form the Arse will fancy taking us apart

Stop talking shit, Liverpool played fantastic second half and a point for us is a good result.

I get that but you also have to factor in our record there as well as the fact that a lot has been made of the players they missed whilst forgetting they still had a competent team

You asked why people were so disappointed with a draw, that's the reason. Of course they're still a strong side and Anfield is a horrible place to go,but they had a rookie defence and we didn't put it under enough pressure.e

Pep should have had Kovacic in midfield from the off. Once he came on we regained a bit of control. Doku, although he's a risk, gave them more to worry about than a poor Alvarez. Kev is 33 and had a bad injury. He needs good legs around him. He still created our goal and Fodens great chance which he sadly missed. I'm made up he threw a strop when he was subbed it shows how much he cares.

Well happy with a point in the end.

They dictated the pace and the play and even though we were the better team in the 1st half, they over-ran us in the 2nd half until Kovacic came on and we were lucky not to lose that.

I was surprised that Alvarez and Akanji started and wonder what Dias has done not to play in that game at all. We looked loose in all phases and we needed a stronger presence in midfield and on Nunez.

I thought Alvarez was our worst performer and Bernardo had his worst game of the season for me and was surprised he wasn't subbed instead of Kev.

Walker, even though his crossing was crap, was our best defender over the whole game i thought and he saved us on occasions.

Overall i think Pep over-thought the lineup, like previous games there. I'm not sure why he seems to get it wrong, almost gets intimidated, playing there

I'm glad we have a week off now as we need to re-focus because we need to improve if we want to win it again this season.

Akanji did nothing wrong. Dias is a bit slow for Nunez.

Bernardo was average for his standards but even when he plays like that he is far more likely to keep the ball rolling than the front 4 (Haaland Kevin, Foden and Alvarez). Our main problem was we struggled to keep the ball. Subbing Bernardo off wasn't going to help us solve the problem.
 
about time we went that place and was given some luck 90% of the time we would have taken 0 points for that second half collapse

On the train out of Lime St, happy enough with the point, don't think we were as bad as some of the posts on here. Midfield was a bit "leggy" in the 2nd half but as we rarely survive that kind of pressure at Anfield I'll credit us for seeing it out. If only Doku's effort had bounced the other way.
Plenty to play for, Blues.

Honestly the next time people go on the media thread to say about how shite they treat us they want to check this thread as its way more disrespectful, yeah we had an off day BUT we didnt lose and we are still deep in three competitions, given what we did last year and where we are atm the disrespect right here is way worse than anything the fail or any of the other shite come out with.

People are allowed to speak out when we are overrun by an injury plagued Liverpool team. We escaped with a draw and could of nicked it, but would we of deserved it in all honesty. We used our get out of jail free card today.
 
If you can’t win on the day, make sure you don’t lose. We didn’t.

Too many of our top players were below par. Some of them hid, some worked there arses off instead.

1-1 was a fair result, even if Liverpool were the better side in the 2nd half. It’s not easy to play at Anfield when they see the game as their cup final.

Lots to play for and when the time cones it really matters, I like to fancy us just a tad more than the other two challenging.

Up the beautiful blues and a great point from a below par performance. They needed the 3 points more than we did today and they know it. We’re bang in this title race and in a cracking position and don’t be mislead otherwise.

Stupid thing is we have just one point less than we had at this point last season, Arsenal are 5 points worse off. Liverpool will burn themselves out. Don't understand why the bottlers are out in force again.

Arsenal were 6 points clear at this stage last season. I think we're feeling it more because there was nobody else in it then, this time we have Liverpool to content with too. But they'll burn out if they keep playing at 110% every week, and while Arsenal are looking strong they actually have less points than they had at this stage.

This season we're one point worse off but have lost one game less so still looks pretty good to me.

Thing is Arsenal have had there wobble and have come back strong. They look more convincing than Liverpool in my opinion.
 
Just spent some time reading this thread since my initial post.

What a shambles, and some are either beer’d up or have no idea what they’re talking about.
