I’m very happy Fergie is gone.

It was time. He’d hurt you enough.

Exactly.

[Curls]

Glad to see Klopp making so many subs. Still worries me to see salah on, Liverpool probably need him, but I worry about injury before the big match.

Ings Hat-trick please.

[Hypes]

This referee is having a 'mare

[Photek]

Mo.

Nice for Liverpool to show their respect to the big man by doing an Arsenal.

[Curls]

Pathetic end from Liverpool. No ambition to push up what so ever, pushing it around the back trying to play out a 2-1 when you can't defend, and then settling on a draw when they had a good five minutes to have a pop.

Here's hoping they show up against Roma.

[Moggy]

Lolerpool.

[Curls]

There are about 8 games like this that Liverpool have been ahead and conceeded this season I swear. yes I'm pulling a random figure out of my head, but it happens far too often and it's a lot of points dropped.

You gave it away by taking Salah off for Lovren. Lovren before the second goal as soon as he came on gifted Rondon a chance from a straight long ball. Then looked to be marking him for the goal.

Chelsea will be happy though as they still got a slight chance of the top four. You can’t afford to drop any more points before you face them at the Bridge.

Stoke will be chomping at the bit to not get relegated as well next week

Happened a load at the start of the season, but we're better now. Sloppiness cost us today for the first time in a while. Should have had a penalty and they could have been down to 10, but changing the back 4 today has cost us. Moreno and Gomez were pretty gooseberry fool

Jurgen Klopp to Sky Sports: "We controlled it pretty well, their only opportunity was with set pieces, the rest we defended really well.

"The whole game was a plot on the goalkeeper, everyone loves it in this country, but it makes life difficult for the goalie.

"It was a difficult game as the pitch got drier and drier. West Brom decided not to water the pitch at half-time and that makes it difficult.

"It makes a massive difference. A team like West Brom do not need a wet pitch, they can do it next year playing on a dry pitch in the Championship."

Pathetic comments from Klopp. He should look at why his side couldn’t defend two set pieces rather than the pitch being dry.

[Hypes]

Yeah alright

[Psychic]

That ref was appalling. Possibly the worst performance I've seen this season, there was so much stuff West Brom got away with. That and the lack of quality with the two back-up fullbacks today were the big things that had an impact on the game. A disappointing result but on the bright side, no injuries and only four points needed from three games to finish top four.

[Tomous]

That was a pretty blatant penalty on Ings that the ref called "a coming together"

[Benzin]

Plus the Hegazi punch that was missed...

But yeah, the pitch was the problem

[Return_of_the_STAR]

Erm Vorm in goal for spurs today Lloris doesn’t appear to be injured. What da feck?

[Denster]

Just seen the Liverpool result.
Easing off?

[Denster]

And yep - Klopp blaming something or someone else and the Liverpool fans in here focusing on the same. All is well.

Another step towards second place being ours.

[Denster]

Onto United. Sánchez is there because he’s a big game player. Reputation and not form influenced that decision.
I’d have given Rashford or Martial the nod there. Hope he (Sanchez) repays it. He was great against City in the second half. We’ll need that Sánchez I think. Other than that I’m happy with the line up although thought he’d go with Bailly ahead of Jones
