      Good to see when Rafa was interviewed he didn't want to get involved.

      Thought our two goals were superb passages of play today, which Carragher had a part in both.

      Missed some of the first half but it seemed like a stale half. Second was much better from us and we looked a bit more dangerous with Sturridge on.

      Thought Henderson and Downing were pretty poor.

      Thought we were passive for a lot of the game. Only Gerrard and Sturridge were looking to force things in the final third.

      We deserved the point for sure though.

      sh*te first half from us and our defending from corners still leaves a lot to be desired. We came out out all guns blazing in the second half shame we couldn't put one of those four chances we had away. Nice finish from Sturridge, which came from a nice bit of play. Stupid penalty to giveaway, but talking to my brother before, he was watching on the box and he's convinced Torres would of scored, had Suarez not handled.

      Also said Souness was bitching about the challenge by Sturridge on Bertrand, so I asked him if Souness mentioned the elbow by Torres on Carra, his answer was Souness said F**k all, but Brendan made a point of mentioning it when they were trying to get him to slate Suarez.

      From my spec in the kop didn't see fully Suarez trying to have Ivanovic for dinner, just seen him booting the post in frustration, lovely finish from the header though in the last minute of injury time. My dad was funny walking out, said "I'm glad we got the equaliser, it would of pissed off all those that fu**ed off with ten minutes to go!!"

      Don't know about us being on top or doing enough for three points, thought we deserved a draw but to me Chelsea always looked in command and I thought Ramires was their best player, pretty much ran the show for them today.

      pleeease.... no bite marks... no actual camera footage so far showing luis opening his mouth and laying his choppers down.

      as far as I can tell.... luis could've gone in to give the guy a kiss on his arm.   I'm not supporting the fact that biting is ok... but until concrete evidence is out, lets not jump to conclusions here.... fellow couch detectives...


      Well he's apologied for the incident this evening so I think it's clear as day now

      Well, he admitted to it. He deserves proper action from the club, in the form of a fine, and maybe a ban if the FA take no action (but they will).
      His conduct was undeserving of a club like LFC, and he also blew any slim chance at Player of the year. Also, he probably (certainly) will be outscored by RVP. Way to F**k up a wonderful season lad.

      Loved the minute's applause, loved the reception for Rafa, hated the first half display and hated the way Agger nodded off and let his man go again,.

      Credit to the Gaffer for changing it at half time. Loved Sturridge's explosive entrance to the game and the way his introduction changed the whole complexion of the game and loved getting the equaliser with the last kick of the game after 96 minutes!

      Really enjoyed watching the second half as a whole, great 51 minutes and 45 seconds of football.

      Seems the bite incident made us forget to aknowledge the excellent performance of Sturrige in a MoTM poll.

      So just want to say Sturrige was clearly MoTM for me.

      (out of that I was disappointed at some Agger and Lucas bad passes and -as usual- Johnson positionning, and found Downing back to his half wasteful half lazy days ; out of these 4 and perhaps Shelvey -who could have been sent out after 45 seconds and wasted his chances as usual- I was rather happy with the team performance)

      I'd give Brendan a 6 (averaging a 8/10 for making the Sturridge change and motivating the team well at half time, and a 4/10 for the strange idea to use Luis to mark Torres on set pieces).

      We played well for about 10 minutes of the game, at the beginning of both halves. We really are a sunshine team. When we're winning, we're very good. When losing, the heads drop and we play more like a pub team.

      What is it about teams that don't cover posts when defending corners? Basic defensive stuff that you don't need elaborate coaching manuals to do. The heads went down after that for the rest of the half. Great move though for the equaliser, then we lost all impetus and momentum after the penalty, and despite Rafa doing his usual defend at all costs tactics, we looked fairly clueless in trying to break them down until Luis scored. Jonjo had a few shots alright, but they ranged from the tame to the ridiculous. Still, you can't say no to a point in injury time, and at least it's 3 years unbeaten at home to them. One of the few positives from the day.

      I thought we just about deserved a draw but they were passing through our midfield for fun during parts of the first half.  Our 3 against their 5 left us very short in there.

      I'm not even going to mention the marking at set pieces.

      From the minute Suarez bit him, my whole mood changed, I just couldn't get into the game from then on, when he equalized in the 96 minute I was F***ing over the moon but not like I normally am when we score. Just couldn't understand why he did it and all I could think about was the ramifications. I just sat there at the final whistle totally gobsmacked and still am.
