So close! Players really turned up today, Luis was MOTM after 30 mins. We couldn't keep the momentum going, but lots to be happy about other than the result. Well played lads. YNWA
"DEFENDERS IN PLZ WE CONCEDED TWO WEAK IN 3 MINUTES...WHAT DOES THAT TELL US IF WE DONT RECTIFY IT AT THE BACK BY TOMORROWS DEADLINE WE HAVE NO CHANCE OF A 4TH POSITION...AND THATS A FACT!!!"
"All in all, a good point away to Arsenal. But in the end, tiredness took it's toll on us. Even our 2 fittest players in Suarez and Hendo looked tered in the last half hour. Shame we haven't got the squad to freshen it up for the City game."
"All in all, a good point away to Arsenal. But in the end, tiredness took it's toll on us. Even our 2 fittest players in Suarez and Hendo looked tered in the last half hour. Shame we haven't got the squad to freshen it up for the City game."
"i think in this game Skrtel should have played instead of Carra.Carra should have been included in Oldham game and maybe we would have won both.Its dissapointing Rodgers has not learnt from the same mistake like KK when playing Carra agianst strong anf fast opposition"
"Could have gone either way in the last 10. Thought Suarez had scored right at the end but a point gained. Not 2 lost. Really need to beat City though or our season try,y is broken!"
"Shame we couldn't grab 3 points, we slipped a bit in second half, but come on I'm delighted to have got at least one ponit away from home at Arsenal, something we do rarely!"
"First hour we were great and then Rodgers took off Sturridge and we went back to playing like we did last week. Try to bounce back against City with Coutinho is the side would be great!"
"Disappointed to draw in the end up, but it's difficult to keep that workrate up. Reina was outstanding. If we had held on for 5 minutes more without them scoring we'd have been fine, horrible time to concede. "
"A game we had easily won and PEPE decides to be a spectator, no effort at all to save those goals always remains rooted by his line for corners, free kicks and crosses, do we have a goal keepers coach at all. Very disappointed, even our midfield was outran stretched at times. "
"I see now why downing and Henderson get so much sticks from the fans..its not that there bad players but not good enough for liverpool standard or any club trying for top 4."
"Nice first half, Downing and Henderson are
starting to get really good, Carragher is great. Referee blowed too early, made two bad penalty shouts for both teams, Now we need to improve our desire to score, and not rely on error. G'game to all, and bring on ManCity. :D"
"Pleased for the point earned, less for the performance! We played a decent first half and created some clear cut chances but did not play the usual passing football who we are used to see, were too much defensive-minded, then were dreadful in the second half,..."
"Pleased for the point earned, less for the performance! We played a decent first half and created some clear cut chances but did not play the usual passing football who we are used to see, were too much defensive-minded, then were dreadful in the second half,..."
"just finished watching the game , a bit of the same old stuff lfc playing for a lot of the time as if they just want to go home very very very disappointing oh really need a new goalkeeper nerve racking every time arsenal came toward goal"
"...we saw an authentic chain from the lads and after we scored the second we turned off the light for a long stint. A pity have wasted a so couous advantage! This line-up has to be rearranged BR! YNWA Reds"
"I see now why downing and Henderson get so much sticks from the fans..its not that there bad players but not good enough for liverpool standard or any club trying for top 4."
"Not impressed at all. Arsenal must be scratching there heads wondering how on earth did they not win that game. No pressing a non existent attack, never got bodies in the box, defending really deep and the gap from our midfield to our isolated striker was awful. Happy with a point though, never expected anymore, just disappointed in the manner we gained this point."
"FRUSTATED!!, why we sat deep is f###ing beyond me, we had to push up give them less space and then they made so many mistakes at the back, coulda one the match if we actually did that, rodgers is a tool for playing for a draw."
"well done redmen. could have closed on spurs but fair result. good for 1st hour. improvement from sunday. city next and pts will be needed. 3 hopefully. come on you reds and welcome philippe. YNWA "
"SERIOUSLY, WE NEEDED THESE POINTS SO DESPERATLY!
TOOTHLESS performance, lucky not to loose this. yet another 2 pts dropped.
GOODBYE 4TH SPOT AND CHAMPIONS LEAGUE"
"Liverpool deserved nothing today. Was just lucky. What the hell we gave the ball to Arsenal easily almost every single pass?! Ä°ts embarrassing. Glen Johnson = Error. 3 minutes were enough for Arsenal to equalize. Liverpool is unfornately very very bad team, very bad..."

"Once again it was a game of two halves! The second half we were retreating when the Gunners had the ball allowing them space and movement. We showed them too much respect!Our players were panicky and gave the balls away too easily! Something must be done about this! Another game given away for a draw!"
"With the players he has available to him, 433 is not the right formation. it has to be either a 442 or a 451. Suarez needs o be the focal point of our attack too, if we are only going to play one up top. "
"We need a new defensive coach..I cannot bear to see the lack of pressure and the lack of confidence in tackles by the whole team...what is happening in the training sessions ???"
"BR didn't want to win ... why not make subs to win... take off DS on 2-2 instead of sub Sterling or Shelvey on at 0-2??? Or even sub Enrique or Skertel before it's 2-2 to kill the game off... Why Lucas was left on for the full 90 mins when he was not playing well???
Another 2 points wasted... Hendo LFC MOM..."
"Do hope Rodgers gets the sack end of the season, would be very wrong not to after sacking Kenny for finishing 8th and 2 final, I expect him to be sacked, very wrong sacking a legend and giving a nobody a few seasons, even next season we will be a mid table team and laughed at, sick and tired of this, cmon fsg do summat about it, rather than doing nothing most of the time."
"This is bitterly disappointing it reminds me of Kenny's team that couldn't hold on to a lead, oh wait 85% of it is Kenny's team with a new Kenny Rodgers"
"I just cant believe that, hey guys, arent there anybody who agrees with me? Liverpool play bad, just bad, what the hell glen does? he does nothing, adversely he cost us attacks"
"Reina needs to go.
A complete liability in goal. Both goals conceded were within reach.
Its plain to see that he is the weakest choice of keeper so it plagues the entire world fanbase as why he is allowed to be the downfall of the team ?!?
"
"Our players have become a bunch of wussies. We are not doing homework properly. How have we progressed from last season i fail to see. Our defense is fragile as i have seen for a long time. Now i have to deal with BRs post match horror comments"
"Reina needs to go.
A complete liability in goal. Both goals conceded were within reach.
Its plain to see that he is the weakest choice of keeper so it plagues the entire world fanbase as why he is allowed to be the downfall of the team ?!?
"
"Why on earth were we defending throughout the whole game? Our 2 goals were purely depended on counter attacks. If we defend like this vs City, we might not even survive! Lucas & Sturridge were poor. Hendo was brilliant! I thought draw was a fair result. Still gutted how we lost 2 goals."
"It will take me untill the end of the season to recover after this game... what a game... I was sooo waiting for a i Camara ending... what a match, good game lads Arsenal were very lucky.."
"sad to see weve been so negative at 2-0 we if could have pressured a little more we could have gotten 3 points we cant blame our escape goats they played well the sub was stupid it should have been enrique for wisdom and glen to rb o well why remove sturridge when hes a treath a goal and why do it at 2-2 BR got tactics wrong not a winning mentality too negative with the lead"
"mixed feelings... good result watching the game, but hey, when leading 2-nil, we should have killed the game... much better than sunday's, henderson 1 goal 1 assist, that's the real dood new ! YNWA
"
"dissapointed with result having been 2-0 up,i dont know what the game plan was but to sit deep and let a team like arsenal come onto you is asking for trouble."
"Should have won, though well battled. A lot of effort went in from us from the off. Seven points off 4th. Still in the mix. City will be worried after that..."
"First half was Class. Sturridge, Henderson and Suarez can find each other easily. Second half they dominated and we forgot how to put pressure on arsenal. Hendersons goal was great work but come on lads, 2 goals in a few minutes?"
"We are still to open to crosses, free kicks and corners, our defense so needs sorting out, it's a heart attack every time we are put under pressure, a solid defense means we have a chance, c'mon LFC sort it out!"
"Should be 3 points BR you cant play liverpool in totally Def mode and daniel be more suited on the wing.
The Ref played in Arsenal favor totally terrible ref and linesmen.
They cost us a pen and To many freekick which could been goal chances.
Wisdom shouldnt be played aginest big teams not enouth Exp that BR fault"
"God there are some idiots on here! Go and support some other team if you cant SUPPORT. it was a proper entertaining game tonight. BOTH teams showed fight. All you gers off. Do one and get away from Liverpool FC. SUPPORT YOUR PLAYERS. SUPPORT YOUR TEAM!"
"Nice to get the point and proud of the effort. Need equal effort on Sunday vs. City. Imo- when you go up 2-0 away at Emirates, it's time to shore up the defense with fresh legs. Enrique (good to see him back) AND Skrtl for subs. Play 4 across the back with Lucas in front. Really need to work on defending set pieces. How many is that now? Still- great effort. Good point away from home. "
"we should go with 5-3-2...Suarez is not winger and Skrtel is good enough to start...at least he should play RB ahead of Wisdom.
Hendo was tired last 30 minutes..(90m oldham), lucas is still not ready run 90minutes .
I bet 0pts united, 1pts arsenal...and City 3pts :))looking good for me :)"
"ReturnOfTheKing if you want to support a team that doesn't care about winning anything - you go support Arsenal. Liverpool shud be playing to win!!!!!!"
"What a great game. Could as well have finished 4:4 . And if touching the ball in the box with TWO hands one after another dosen't give a penalty, I don't know what is a penalty."
"good job lads and focus to next match, i believe 80% i have more chance to beat man city than i had tonight Ofc its chance they will playing without yaya toure ...hendo is going the way meireles did half of the season 2011 scoring game after game"
"- are most of you posters for real? Did you even watch the game? For 60 mins we battered them, they had 30 minutes. Some of the comments on here are an effing joke. Arsenal at home this season showed how fair we'd fallen- Arsenal away tonight showed how far we've come. Salute that effort tonight or jog on."
"Also- agree w/ LFCLORD- Wisdom is solid defender but a liability when playing out of the back. Rarely do they move forward with purpose when the ball is at his feet. Experience is all that's lacking there."
"i think its fair to say forget top 4 now. everton moved up with a win, arsenal still 3 points above us. i just cant blieve we slipped up again. im so upset. happy that hendo got his 2nd prem goal something +ve. he's my MOTM but even reina seems fine."
"So close! To beating one of the teams above us.Can we do better on sunday? I will take the draw becasue we damn sure deserved it.We still need key areas at the back addressed.Johnson is a nice guy but does not convince me enough defensively.Anyway, LFC remain a work in progress and as such this is a decent result."
"for me MOTM was Hendo cuz he was whole the match cool and he played comfortable but wilshere and walcott distroyed our leftback and midfield position so we have to sign a leftback player"
"Hard to keep the sprinting up for the full 90 and arsenal started really playing. We outpassed them for periods (esp. about 47-48mins, with lots of short triangles!)
Giroud will be slated for the dive, oh wait I was thinking of someone else..."
"Hello Brendan. Just one mistake, you are slating skrtel. What about allen, borini and sterling? They were awful and yet given priority. Skrtel is liverpool's favourite player and a very good defender. Don't break the combo of Agger and Skrtel. He was our Player of the Season!!!"
"BuddhaBellEnd- don't try take away from Henderson's performance, he has played well lately and did excellent tonight. Carra was very good tonight, pity we couldn't defend better and kill them off... Disappointing to concede from a free kick like that"
"i didnt like the way arsenal dominated the game for large periods and how we kept on losing the ball. i'm just so relieved they didnt scorea 3rd.they looked the most likely not us well except for that last chance"
"Skrtel individual errors cost us 3 goals this season...but he win all physical battles and scored two goals...cara is not better than him and we saw what means organization today :)) Brendan is wrong with Skrtel...and at least he should start ahead of Wisdom at RB."
"Rushjob9
30th Jan 2013 22:17
Don't bother with them mate, some people have nothing better to do. Disappointed to hear in BR interview that there will be no further signings, I hope he's just throwing a curveball there??"
"BR lost the game today....what was he thinking when arsenal were piling pressure on us and henderson was crap except the goal. I expected shelvey to come in for henderson and then bring in another defender. "
"Rushjob9 we are always on top. The idea is to score more than the other team. There is no prize for being on top. We should have had 4 goals with all that posession."
"We showed tonight that we aren't that far off being contenders. yes it was dicey at times but we could hack it, remember we were on their turf. Well played lads, we got a point but we took 2 off them. Really happy on reflection."
"ahmetttt i agree but considering they beat us at home 2-0 and we managed to get a draw at thier ground Rodgers will see it as some kind of improvement."
"Johnson is overrated. Caught the ball too far, trying to fancy, throwing ball and wasting all.
Downing is useless, chickening, jogging around and let go opponents.
Why Sturridge got subbed?????"
"been saying it for such a looooong time, sort out the defense! in fact the team still does not look balanced and i hate to say it, weedy! get some muscle in!"
"Signings are ok - at least we sell these youngsters in three-four years if they not become world stars...and we cant expect every transfer window to spend 100m pounds...summer - Allen-15,borini-15..winter-sturidge 10, coutinho-12...is enough for now."
"Rushjob9 - You were definitely watching a different game to me. We had a couple of good breakaways that was about it. Arsenal were dominant in every department and not just after 60 minutes. We were ok at best in the first half, we got given two gift wrapped goals and then sat deep nearly the whole game. "
"I DONT UNDERSTAND YOU PEOPLE, REALLY. ALMOST EVERYBODY THINKS LIVERPOOL PLAYED GOOD. HOW? ARE YOU OKAY? WE CONCEDED 2 GOALS IN 3 MINUTES, OUR GOALS WERE JUST LUCK, WE JUST TRIED TO DEFEND AND COUNTER ATTACK IS THAT LIVERPOOL? BUT WE DID NOT, ARSENAL DIDNT BENEFIT FROM HUNDEREDS OF POSITIONS..."
"tomorrow we have to find one leftback and centre back or ofc if we can to get one back-up striker no matter how old is he, i prefer to find one old striker btween 26 & 29"
"I watched and admired Oldham defending, throwing themselves in front of shot's and really giving their all, then i watch my own team...(with the exception of Carragher!) "
"How can anyone say we played well?? We didn't play! We sat back deep with a few counter attacks first half and nothing but sitting deep in second. Where was our passing and possession game? Their 21 shots at goal to our 10 says it all. Really confused about BR now, he's got the right ideas but some crazy decision making..
YNWA"
"lpdcollier - We were lucky at times but there was some really good play and we looked fairly organised.We did sit back a bit and they exploited us for it but I believe there are a lot of positives to take. Im' not unhappy with the performance tonight. "
"did anyone notice how poor glen was at LB? i just kept on shouting at him when he kept on losing the ball n failing to mark players. expected more from glen since he's experienced. wisdom still abit young for the big games. kept on passing backwards to reina. not happy at all with defenders"
"Major problem in our away games is..if home time press high well - lucas, henderson, wisdom, downing and gerard too are not comfortable with ball...this kills our possesion...you need technicaly special players like Alonso did and hold possesion in every situation."
"Every fan should be happy we gained a point but to be happy with that performance. No chance!!! if fans really believe we played well tonight we are going to be the most boring team in the prem."
"Good overall performance. Good result against a good attacking side - shame we couldn't of scored more in the end. We desperately need a LB to cover. If we lose Johnson to injury we are in a heap of the proverbial. The inbalance of young / experienced players has tipped too far one way."
"lpdcollier..i watched the game both you and rush watched.Both have valid points.It was a brave and committed performance and we were rewarded with one point.But we didnt create much as you say.Our goals had some luck to them.The key to remember is we are improving.BR needs timeto fix a 20 yr problem.Just like winning is a hard to shake habit, so is losing.much patience is still needed by fans."
"I have never seen a Liverpool team sit so deep and I am not just talking of this game we have done it quite a few times this season. Maybe Houlliers reign was the last time I remember us sitting so deep"
"ahmettt and your type fans...if you are close to win at Emirates you cant play horrible and you cant expect be up for every PL game. Man.utd were completely ouplayed at Anfield..they won...City outplayed at Anfield they draw...major difference between top and rest is winning ability in bad days..and we missing this."
"if I was going to be critical id say that LS gave the ball away far too often and didn't press as well as he should although he did do well in tracking back. I don't think the deeper role suits him. That's not me being biased,just honest."
"BR is ridiculous manager!!!! We had good luck with both of our goals! Reina a fine one safe but could do much better with both goals we concede. BR OUT!!!!!"
"A lack of belief invited the Gunners back into the game. Cannot otherwise explain why we were defending so deep after 2nd goal. BR, work on that winning mentality and we be good. YNWA"
"How can anyone say we played well? How can anyone say we played bad?? some LFC supporters are not living in reality. LFC is being rebuilt. From scratch. This takes time.Maybe the team that eventually finds glory will not have any of the names here bar a few? Supporters have to be patient. Shanklys empire was not built in a day and neither will it be now."
"Rushjob9 - I know, I normally agree with a lot of what you say. The only positive for me was the point which I am happy with, but performance wise. No good."
"We have lost reputation in d game for any opponent to believe that there's hope for them to still win d game no matter what lead we have! LFC is not like this! Yet we still have decent defenders to me but we are as vulnerable at d back! I just don't understand!!!!!"
"If only we knew how to put the lid on these type of matches whenever we get a good lead, maybe we should have been better in keeping possession tonight. We just went all floppy after we went two up as if we had secured the match. Lack of discipline which might cost us fourth place, hope not though!"
"lpd - Its probably just that hendo assisted and scored that i'm happy, ignore me! Thats the problem sometimes, you get so involved with p***taking with fellow fans/enemies that you're happy just to see them eat humble pie that the result comes second.Rose tinted glasses!"
"redahendo - Suarez can play winger too...in first half he did well, but second half they pressed us too deep and I think he become tired (90m oldham)...but on the other hand I prefer him to play CF..Sturridge is not worth it to drop him so deep."
"i must say as i was watching walcot i wished we signed him. even when he falls he gets up quickly and gets on with it. i've seen 3-4 goals where he fell down but got up quick and scored."
"Congrats for a point gained. Unfortunately, we are chasing 4th spot and games like these, with 2-0 up need get wrapped up. We were too deep through out the game. Second half the midfield was crying out for Shelvey. Eish."
"I questioned the signing of Sturridge from the start and the showing on Sunday and tonight confirmed my view that Ba and/or Demsey would have been much better and cheaper buys (we could have had BOTH for 3mill more than we payed for Sturridge)He had several good chances tonight and fluffed them all. He was never in the right place to receive a pass and looked afraid to get involved."
"Finally Brendan its taken you half a season but you've realised that we're a MUCH better team WITHOUT Allen. Great performance for the first hour - SHAME you couldnt figure out how to finish them off. SAME again on sunday NO ALLEN - maybe start Enrique instead of Wisdom"
"Rushjob9 - I hope your right mate. Like I said I was happy with the point, felt confident with the line up. It was just how we sat so deep and let Arsenal dictate for large parts, which disappointed me. Redhendo - as for LS yes he did not have one of his better games but he was defending more than attacking."
"Arhat - Suarez is growing on me anyway, I never really warmed to him but the lads a hard worker and he's not in the spotlight as much. I just think he tries to be too clever at times and we end up losing possession. Borini would have helped today with his pressing abilities."
"So many negative people--we are improving, surely you can see that. Ok we need one or two players and the style needs perfecting. But remember BR never promised a miracle, "Rome wasn't built in a day" Trust and support BR, we will succeed."
"Great performance, correct line-up, right tactics, everything! Credit to Arsenal for an astonishing period of play with Walcott inspired... But the whole defence were resolute and very disciplined indeed. The whole team were a credit to the club today rather than naming individual performers. Well done lads and well done BR- My negativity of last 2 days have dispersed"
"I thought BR should brought on MS and Allen to seal the win. Lucas was tired and Stevie left everything at Oldham. Men of the match tonight were Reina and LS."
"Suarez was wonderful! Don't know he's also a left back! We need to buy confidence i dont know how much it costs! Last season fortunte was expensive to score! But BR has secured that! Now he needs confidence!!!!"
"The disaster continues.You have to wonder how Kenny achieved so much more and enjoyed more success with ostensibly the same team. Philosophy? Rebuilding? Tiki Taka? Going backwards quick more like."
"redahendo - your being a tad harsh I have never taking the p$# out of a fellow fan on here, nor have I ever tried to make enemies. I just post on what I see, wether you think its right or wrong. Opinions my friend. I will agree in saying Hendo was my man of the match"
"Don't get these "fans"? who constantly highlight the negatives about EVERY performance! So much to be positive about, consistency comes with experience & belief
, gained ONLY by games played as a group! This is a new group, we can't hold 20 years of frustration against them or br!"
"Redahendo - I agree with you...he is really hard worker..I critized him last season for his poor passing game, but this season he become more balanced and pass really good..you right he lost balls and cost us possesion, but we must accept him to take risk and create something...there is more to come from him than lost with dribble."
"i dont understand how can you be true fan and clap this performance, or be content in 7th or loose to oldham. or let arsenal squeeze u like this iwe never played that bad against arsenal even when WOy was manger we played better"
"I think this was a loss of two points. We allowed Arsennal to come at us the whole game and it was a matter of time before they scored. We did not look very clinical and Saurez played as a midfielder than attacker."
"lfc4ever76, what match did you watch??? you must be joking henderson was outstanding. Apart from the goal, he was usless. He didnt make any tackle and had about 6 of his passes intercepted."
"mushroom - Rodgers do mistakes as everyone, but I see him better than Kenny. last season kenny achieved only 52pts and 18pts in last 19.. Major problem this season is he playing more youngsters than Kenny and this cost us points in close games, but against bottom table team we have complete domination and slowly we transform with maturity of youngsters our derby games."
"Look at this way too. Arsenal were there for the taking, if we had closed them down quicker and pressurised them more, we could have easily of won tonight. We just needed to be a bit braver in attack."
"The game was all about Arsenal. They gifted us our two very lucky, messy goals and scored two very good goals themselves. As to our resolute disciplined defence, I counted 8 liverpool players defending when Gerroud attacked and not one challenged or tackled, he didn't score because his aim was off, not because of good defending."
"ssmithy11 - Manager cant say must win game 15 matches ahead of him..with this draw you cant lose moral in the dressing room :))...
we play spurs at home and win make only 4pts difference..season is still open...after sunday game we have all winnable games.."
"You cant let a two goal lead slip, not if you want champions league football. Still a point at Arsenal is a well earned point, some good performances too, what a pity we just cant take that final step."
"So many uneducated football fans. Good point tonight lads, A real professional performance for most of the game, bar the 5 crazy minutes. Improvements are being made weekly, bring on City!
P.S Cara the legend"
"Arhat - I agree and understand the logic but I just would of preferred if he didnt even mention it. IMO it's a fear of losing rather than been a bit braver to win. "
"Boris313 - I don't have an issue with Skrtel playing but if you are trying to say that Carra was at fault in this game you are terribly wrong. Carra manned the backline with his voice and was immense on defensive headers. Shows class and we still need him for big games. doesn't have pace but experience and that counted tonight"
"Still in the hunt for 4th and after Sunday we have good fixtures. Everton have difficult run in. Going in right direction just short a few players to really push on. YMWA. Justice 96. "
"I rilly cnt say its a bad game cos honestly i tot Arsnl wuld win b4 d game evn startd. Bt a point sure a gud result,I wonder wat most of y'll wuld hv said if we lost.Bt let d truth b told givn away a 2 goals lead is dispntn."
"I think the addition of Coutinho will show the likes of Allen, Henderson and Downing how to control a ball, how weight a pass, how to pass and move and how to make simple chips to players. Some of the basics are missing and that worries me when we sign players. "
"Can't believe the amount of idiots on here. I'm sure half of you didn't even see the game. The problem is it is Kennys mess he well n truly fcuked it up just as I remember a certain mr sourness doing . BR the so called nobody is sorting out a big mess n is off to a good start in my opinion . Ynwa things are slowly moving in the right direction . One word for most of the commenters on here MUGS . "
"£55 million spent now and Sturridge was the only BR buy on the pitch! Why couldn't we win 2-0??? BR managing is questionable to say the least! Jamie Carragher is the most fantastic player/man I was pleased he got MOTM YNWA Jamie x"
"disappointing considering we had 2-0 lead. Pleasing seeing that the team which scored 4 goals in first 5 games of first half of season has scored 14 goals the first 5 games of the second half. If thats not a progress I dont know what is! To be honest top 4 was next to impossible this season!"
"The difference was that Reina could not make a match winning save and on the other end Suarez was denied a last minute goal with a great save (similar to what Reina should have at least attempted against Walcott)"
"blame him, blame that, blame blame blame.... shut up all you...we are mid table team at the moment so live with that... enough with the expectations. I am proud of the lads performance today."
"First time hando playing in right position for liverpool. He is getting goals and performing good for his age. Its really exciting to have him especially thinking that he is very young and will improve further. Downing on the other hand is already in his peak age and his influence on the game is negligible. Cntd.."
"i think brendan rodgers should quit the managerial post.Honestly i been so patient far to long already.we are the 18 times premier league champions, 5 times european champions, 7 times FA cup champions not to mention others cup, yet we lose to oldham and now we draw to arsenal. We lead 2 - 0 and again we slip....im so disappointed and frustrated about it."
"Can not believe some of the negative traitor type comments on here, 42 years supporting this club; credit were credit is due, the team worked very hard away from home against a very good team, yes we have flaws and must stop losing concentration for bouts of the game because it costs us but players like Walcott are extremely hard to defend against..going in the right direction BR.."
"I hope in next game we have regular back four and suarez plays from right wide man, Coutinho from left, and Sturridge as front man. I am sure that coutinho will have far more influence on the game then downing. "
"kn3t75..18 times first division..and we played well against A VERY GOOD TEAM...have faith lad, not every game can be won ITS IMPOSSIBLE...our time will come again."
"Rushjob and Ani-road ...spot on. A dogged performance away to one of our main rivals. Sometimes you have to tough it out. Everyone else with a negative opinion, you clearly don't play football."
"Hendo was fantastic - great energy. I have to say that Stevie G and Suarez looked tered and agree with BR - Enrique was needed earlier. A good performance and result but certainly highlights where we need reinforcements! "
"Always had bad feeling when playing against Arsenal. A Team we traditionally lose or win even if we do a double over Chelsea and Manu. Only win once in ten League games comes last season where almost everyone can beat them. Manu did 8-1, we beat them 2-0. Glad to get a point though."
"Suarez in the first 30 minutes not only score but play as a defense,but sturdige can not play by himself at front he do not have good control of the ball thats the change in second have Suarez at front,also they choke to many pases to Reina and Pepe he do not know where to go there is more to comment"
"Poor kn3t75, you must been disppointed for quite a two decades. We seldom beat Arsenal! Remember in 1989 final game? They need to beat us by two goals in Anfield to pit us to the league le. And they did 2-0. last minute by Michael Thomas. Ouch! Sorry to bring back memory kn3t75. "
"That is when Countinho is coming YOUNG and a good control of the ball good dribling is necesary in a fisical game like the English Premier also be fast this guy Walcot was faster than johnson imagine if was playing in the other side with Carrager mama mia"

"redahendo, I think belfastwill had been a supporter long enough to understand the bogeyman Arsenal had been to liverpool. we were start picking point but when I saw Arsenal fixture not far ahead and I said uh oh."
"ahmettttt, you want 10 more suarez? Sorry, we only have one irreplaceable. Maybe some fans here want to add a cloning chamber to their long list for FSG."
"LiverpoolTillDeath69, agreed to your point. We should have hit a nail in their coffin. Yes, gutted but positive sign is that we actually could! I hope you spot on for Manc game. we need that 3 points but the fixture is not doing us any favor. One rest day less than Arsenal and Manc. "
"We should have been 4-0 up at half time, the gooners were gift-wrapping the chances for us! Will the press crucify Giroud for his blatant dive? Imagine if Suarez would have done that. 3 points on Sunday, lads."
"it's ok to get 1 point...but we shoulda win the game..the defenders let us down...they lost concentration after 2 goals lead....very dissapointing....next game will be way harder than this..so please...COME ON REDMEN...WE CAN DO THIS..YNWA"
"I think we missed an Andy Carroll today! Where was the BR philosophy? Carroll would have done as good as Sturrige if not better! Poor defending cost us two points. Same old same old! "
"We were so defensive in the second half. Just couldn't hom out why decided to switch on the defensive play. Arsenal could have ran all over us if it hadn't been for that brilliant Hendo goal. "
"A lot of negativity and I see where it comes from, Despite what ppl say we do have a good team and squad. Ppl saying "well played lads unlicky not to take three points" What game did you watch, we where lucky not to throw it all away we where hammered 2nd half. BR WHY did you drop Skrtl for Carra, I love Carra but my god. And bringing Enrique on instead of an attacking player JOKE"
"As thought for People ging Henderson, I dont know what your on about the lads been on fire last few games, your probably the same ppl the RAVED on about Charlie Adam last seaaon being Liverpools NEW Alonso. At least hes not a crab like Allen. I think BR got his selection wrong tonight Skrtl for Carra and Sterling for Downing. "
"Hendo and Wisdom were the 2 overall better performer throughout 90 mins. If Hendo has not scored, then Wisdom deserves attention to be contender for MOTM. Anyway after 2-0 up, should have re-shaped things with both Skrtel and Enrique coming in and out for Downing and Suarez."
"i blame Rodgers! is johnson doing left back. he sucks there!!! maybe against reading or norwich yes, def not against arsenal. Walcott made him luk like a schoolboy! Wisdom shouldnt be playing in big games either, not yet!"
"The Mighty Reds Played well. i do believe Daniel Sturridge let us down. He did not press high up the pitch at all. Hendo Suarez and Gerrard did the pressing for him"
"Was at the game last night. Just called in sick with a massive hangover.. Reading the idiotic comments here makes me sad to be a red. The contrast with our away support couldn't be more stark. I was sat with home fans, so was on the DL, but we should and could have won that. "
"It was a shame we surrendered the two goal advantage but give it to the gunners, they have an attacking force to reckon with. All in all let it be a solid foundation to built on. Onwards and upwards let's move. YNWA!"
