Should have won the game, unfortunately the pen miss will be talking point but we had plenty more in that game than just a missed pen that should have been done better. Having said that there was plenty in the game that we did really well too.
Can't give away cheap goals like that, it's just such a pressure to put on the rest of the team.
Ratings:
Karius: Not at fault for either goal, commanded his box really well and was comfortable at his feet. 6.5
Moreno: Excellent performance by Alby, some top crosses, really unlucky not to get his goal which he deserved on that. A couple of rash challenges but overall a very encouraging display. 7.5
Lovren: Shocking for their first goal, didn't look comfortable all night, kicking the ball straight out, going on his own maurading run down an ally and nearly putting us straight in the sh*t, a real contrast to his partner in that respect. 5
Matip: Thought he was decent, some brilliant runs and was actually really close to scoring on one of them. Did have a couple of moments, one when he lost his man and the other where he skied the clearance and then got outbattled for it but still easily our best CB. 7
Gomez: Thought he had some lovely crosses, didn't do that well defensively though and more and more they attacked down our right. No idea what he got the second yellow for because the stream didn't replay it. 5
Henderson: Why does he feel it necessary to run straight past the man on the ball, seemingly trying to nick it if the player turns but he literally just runs past him, it's bizarre. Exposes our defence completely and he needs to stop that right now. Passing was poor apart from the 1-2 with Moreno which was excellent and seems to emit the panic mode that we hit in the last few minutes. 5
Gini: One of his better performances of the season, seemed right up for it and at Anfield too, what a surprise. Unlucky not to score with his volley on the corner clearance and overall thought he was our best central midfielder. 8
Can: Lots of effort but not lots of end product. Lost his man too many times and while he was putting in the effort closing people down he was doing it at poor times when the man on the ball had simple options, that's how you just spend your energy inefficiently. 6.5
Salah: Did well on the night, looks a threat whenever he gets it and technically he's superb. Had a couple of moments where just a slight different angle on the pass and we'd have been in but the decisions were spot on. 8.5 MotM
Mane: Thought he was a little selfish to be honest, should have played his man in a few times and I wasn't surprised to see him subbed out of our front 3. Still had a decent game but looked a bit lethargic in that second half, wouldn't be surprised to see him rested for a game soon. 7
Firmino: Feel for Bobby because people will jump on his back for the pen miss but did so much right on the night. Fantastic movement and should have been slotted in instead of Can when Can missed a glorious chance, Firmino was in an even better position. Had an easy finish after great work by Alby. 7.5
Coutinho: Didn't do too much when he came on to be honest.
Sturridge: Much like Coutinho, could have been forgiven for not noticing he was on.
AOC: Did more in the 5 minutes he had than the other 2 subs but none of them made enough of an impact for a rating.
Klopp: Will be so frustrated with the 2 goals we gave away, one a total F**k up and the other just a simple throw-in where our midfield is absolutely nowhere and then they get a lucky deflection to set it nicely onto his right foot. How none of our players either clear the first or deal with the second I've no idea. Still it's a draw against probably our toughest opponents in the group so it's a result, just not the one we deserved or should have had. 6.5
Not the worst result, feels worse after coming back from 1-0 down and how we performed for 75 minutes.
