Surely the referee isn't the one adding on the time?!

He absolutely is.   He's the only one that can.

Wow, I would have bitten your head off for a point beforehand but how close were we to 3.

18 mins extra time is madness

Mings MOTM, immense again but I could have picked 4 or 5.

The atmosphere next week Is gonna be unreal

[MSvillain]

Take the draw all day long there, there was literally no way the officials were gonna allow Liverpool to leave empty handed

[MaVilla]

thats one of those games.

If you had offered me one point before the game i would have bitten your hand....and arm, off.

Such a pity we dropped the 2 points in the 89th minute, so always disappointing, but realistically, a point at Anfield is brilliant.

[brummybloke]

We would all have taken a point today if offered, but like most, feel a bit deflated at the late equaliser.

We seem to lose any threat once emi, donk and Duran came on which helped build their momentum.

Well done though and mings the motm with mcginn a close second until he had to move positions then never really got back into the game once he went back again.

Watkins penalty miss and not targeting the defender on a yellow I feel was the point where we could have finished the job.

So close so proud 

[useless]

A shame about the late goal, but I wouldn't have been disappointed with a narrow defeat given Brentford beating Spurs, so a draw instead and at Anfield is a very good result.

Imagine coming away from Anfield gutted that you didn't win!?

Wow, Unai, I love you.

[nepal_villan]

More than happy with the point.  Now we have several permutations to get into Europe including holding the keys in our hands.

[Hiney]

Great first half, should have been 2 up.

Second half was a bit backs against the wall but we battled well and were good value for at least a point which most couple would have taken before the game.

Mings MOTM, absolutely colossal.

10 mins injury time though, absolute joke. The sort of thing you only see at Anfield or Old Trafford 

[Nigel]

Getting that draw is massive,  Anfield is not a place to come for easy points.

Thought Mings was a colossus today. 

All we wanted was Europe to be reachable on the last day, to have it in our own hands was the dream.

I have to say I didn't really understand what was going on for their disallowed goal, I was watching in Spanish so couldn't really grasp who was offside and when.  It was a wonderful performance all round.

How? We’re ahead of Spurs, in our hands now.

It's explained in his post, we now need to beat Brighton rather than draw.

[CosmicVillan]

Battling performance away at a side that had just won 7 in a row...Would have taken a point before , bit gutted not to get all 3 in the end

Bought my ticket for the Brighton game a few weeks ago in the hopes we'd still have something to play for and there is so bring it on !

Gutted, a draw is better than I expected but those 2 dropped points are very costly.

Europa was in our hands assuming Man City beat Brighton. Now we've got to beat Brighton for 7th

No we haven't ! 
We need to match Spuds to finish above them and we need to match Brentford to finish above them. That may mean needing to beat Brighton but it can also be achieved by losing if the other two lose aswell !

Tremendous performance by the lads. Everyone did their bit, but Mings did three men's bits! Proud of them today, not even all that stoppage time was going to deny us getting something out of that one and a point was the very least we deserved. Where's your winning run gone you Scouse gits?  We just could be catching the: 

 

[srsmithusa]

I hesitated to give MOTM who found himself wrong side of Firmino to give the goal.  But he was just so massive for the other 139 minutes of the 120 minute match that I had to.

Not sure who was involved, but a Liverpool player (Van Djik?) headed the ball back into the box, but it just hit Konsa and fell to another Liverpool player (Gakpo?) who was ahead of play.  Therefore, offside.

Great team performance 

Mings & McGinn, real leaders of this team.

this shows just how far we have come under Emery! What a guy!

[allani]

Also worth noting that we could lose to Brighton next weekend and still finish 7th.  I hope it doesn't come to that!  2-0 up at half-time with Leeds leading by the scoreline would mean a much less stressful hour in the afternoon!!!
