At least we showed character tonight and fought hard for th 90 mins. We do need to learn how to finish off teams though. My MOM was Suarez. One goal and a good performance working for the team tracking back. Bring on the blue mancs. YNWA
"The weakest link in attack in my opinion today was hendo. There was no penetration from the middle at all. Disappointing to draw from 2-0 up. Come on Reds."
"gutted we didn't take all 3 pts. but much better display. should have taken chance at the end. hopefully coutinho will pick a pass out when needed. go again on sunday. YNWA"
"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"
"It was a very hyperthetic game, we tried but not enough. we were just lucky not to loose, cant believe liverpool conceeded 2 goals in 2 and a half minutes, anyway it was our lucky day to get a draw,
We could do better. YNWA"
"It was a very hyperthetic game, we tried but not enough. we were just lucky not to loose, cant believe liverpool conceeded 2 goals in 2 and a half minutes, anyway it was our lucky day to get a draw,

"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..."
"sincerely I am disappointed for our performance and for the way BR decided to approach the game, sometimes it seemed to be back to the Woy Hodgson times at LFC! awful second half, we looked like headless chicken for a long stint! from the game I just save the point gained YNWA"
"Maybe a little disappointed to lose the 2-goal lead, but considering the pressure over the last 25 mins, more than happy with the draw. They were there for the taking in the first half, but just couldn't add to Luis goal. Jamie MotM - wow, what a servant. Hendo improving all the time. Now for Sunday - YNWA"
"good job lads and focus to next match, i believe 80% there are more chance to beat man city than arsenal's match tonight
Ofc its chance they are playing without yaya toure"
"We tried, but not good enough, i can't believe we conceeded 2goals in 2 and a half minutes.
It was just our lucky night not to loose, but they got us under their palm, we can do better the performance wasnt good enough. YNWA"
"Carra, Hendo and Wisdom superb tonight. Such a shame when Gerro/Lucas tired after an hour we didn't have the quality on the bench to give them a breather- cos that's when Wiltshere took control- And this is my 'beef' with Mr Allen am afraid. However, being positive it's a decent point. We'll beat City Sunday I reckon."
"Again, see the vision of BR.
Johnson can't take care the left back. Downing is useless and kept being in all 90 min. Good enough we didn't lose, but so far never won the above-table team. Stop dreaming of the top 4. what a vision of BR."
"as i feel Hendo is made top progress as Merieles did the halftime of the season 2011, scoring goals match after match so the only change that have to make is downing to Coutinho"
"Why Downing is around full time and on every game now. He made Liverpool play with 10 men. Shelvey is good with Sturridge and Suarez, but got to sit down for months now.
We played like we didn't practice together.
"
"SGRed4Live and BuddhaBellEnd13 are you both totally without a clue. If Henderson was so bad and a weak link in attack then how come he comes away with an assist and a goal. Seriously the pair of you grow up. Learn about football and especially Bell End support your club. That includes ALL the players"
"We were lucky, we deserved nothing tonight, maybe they will learn one day, big maybe haha bring on City, gonna go at least 5 nil City, they gonna smash us good."
"I said before the game that BR should start with three CB and then when we went two nil he should have played Skertel and brought Allen. He didn't and look what happened. He should have replaced Lucas. He was tired which lead to him losing balls and fouling in dangerous positions. He wasted LS offensively. Stevie left everything at Oldham. Man of the match is Reina."
"Great match and although I was really disappointed with the 1 point the consolation is that Buddha is nowhere to be seen. Although Buddhabe**end13 has been keeping us all entertained in his absence."
"Hey man, why some of you do embarrasing LFC's plays? They were so delightful tonight. Why did Arsenal scores is because of they individual player's ability.
Walcott has a good shoot ability, and Giroud too.
Liverpool defends was so good, but i hope they can build it up. YNWA"
"Giroud is such useless player. Chamakh MK2
I have mixed feelings, I am utterly disappointed at losing a 2 goal lead but Arsenal could ave won it in the second half. We completely bended over in most part of the second half.
CONCENTRATION!!!"
"Very proud from the lads good perofamnce and sprit .. abit dispointed to not won it .. coz we dropped quick n let em have 2 goals in 4 mints..but Arsenal is defecult place.. maybe BR need to bring a Defencive couch to help him in set peaces n that ..but Hard luck next week take City off they r poor atm"
"think we went there just to give the defence a good work out as that is all we did all night defend defend defend. onlly scored cause of sloopy play. we was just as bad as we where against oldham
"
"Very pleased for Jordan Henderson, he's still learning his trade but still moving in the right direction, looked so determined and composed to get the goal and that reminded me of a 70's type Liverpool goal, Carragher had a good game as well. Pity we lost the 2 goal lead, we wen't to sleep and somehow held on. Need to be sharp for that City match."
"I share your views anneallred regarding LS man if the match. I'm keen to give it to Rein because he saved us tonight from defeat. But, I will not disagree if LS got man of the match. I do think though BS lost us the game tactically. He should have played MS and Allen to win the game. We played too deep and should the too much respect. "
"Sorry, have to disagree that Hendo was the weakest link. Yes, he fluffed with the lob over the open goal, but he set up the goal for Luis, and his tireless persistence saw him rewarded with the 2nd goal. Agree though - disappointing to draw from 2-0 up, even if an improvement from the shambles on Sunday. "
"TONY1, hate to admit it but you hit the nail on the head, we were sorta lucky to get a point in the end, it could have been a complete disaster, grateful to come away with at least a point."
"Well i dont think its about indvidual player. Its much about tactics BR wants to play! Wilshire had finished paying mortgage at d midfield so BR thought he should do watever he likes from there! Everyone drops too deep! And that's d most ceucial junction to stop attack and create attack! We need quick deposit for motgage in d midfield against city!!!"
"disapointed with our proformance tonight all we did was sit back and let them come at us. and at times we was to close together giving them so much space.. and we had no out let. as suarez spent most of his time with the defence
"
"awful supporters have decided to talk again. we deserved to tie that game.
love all the people talking loads of crap about hendo. Easily most improved player of the season "
"ahmettttt, yes 3 minutes was enough for gunner, but 30 years in not enough for Liverpool to teach you(and some others as buddha,...) how to be a true supporter! that's a fact"
"We lost the game because some of the players were tired because they chose to chase the ball for the first 45min and it was Rogers job to take care of that when we have options on the bench,he ignored that fact and it costed us"
"Liverpool looked to be cruising but yet again decide to sit back and let arsenal attack, when will Rodgers learn not to sit back and let the opposing team get back in the game, disappointed with the draw"
"as usual Downing faded away in big matches...
shoulda got sub on 60th min for Sterling
I think draw is a fair result (although i still think we are lucky to get 1 point), we got pushed off the park."
"for me,downing has to go....hes not a real red man.he cant run 50 metres to help in defending....he really sucks.uld hav been better to play sterling in his place in last 20 mins"
"Great game, absolutely scintillating performance, well done guys. Hard to lose 2 points but one is better than none. Suarez, Gerrard and Agger my star performers. Try for 3 in the City on Sunday! "
"Liverpool are never going to get anywhere playing that 4-3-3 system. It leaves players too isolated and there's never enough width.
Fergie has played 4-4-2 with proper wingers and attacking full-backs for over 2 decades and the result at United is relentless attacking football, lots of les and scared opposition teams."
"Well I thought it was a great game - could have gone either way. Arsenal a good side, if erratic - a bit like us in some ways. I can't understand all the whingeing that goes on here. I also can't see how BR's management gets criticised by guys who can't construct a single rational thought. If you really would be happier following Man Utd then all the best - shut the door behind you."
"On the contrary, BuddhaBellEnd13, I think Rogers cost us 3 points! Leading 2-0 and suddenly defending deep and under pressure, I expected BR to bring in Enrique and withdraw Wisdom (with GJ taking over from AW)so the LB and RB could become more mobile and take the fight back to the Arsenal end. We were defending too deep and were lucky to come out with a draw IMO!"
"Wow, our fans have turned into the biggest bunch of mugs ever.. Is this LFCforIdiots.com? Embarassing.. If other clubs saw what muppets we had for fans, we'd lose all our respect... "
"These chat threads are depressing - there's a lot of guys watching cable TV in the far corners of the world who have nothing to think about. If you want to be a part of something all-powerful and unbeatable, maybe following football isn't for you? Football is a sport, in fact, and much of the attraction is supporting a LOCAL team that you can be proud of."
