Better performance and on another day we might have got away with that injury time offside goal. Thought the players worked much harder today. Whether that's the effect Parker has instilled or because it was Chelsea at home. Still not good enough to stay up and with our run coming we could even end up bottom.

Think it’s now going to be time to rely on City dropping points , just can’t see to break down teams when sitting deep

Salah having a really poor game at the moment - got to be better on the ball

He’s run his heart out ( which he should do anyway) but can’t remember him having a shot.
He has done more than run his heart out, his touch, lay offs and passing have been excellent. His problem was we never spent enough time as a unit near the liverpool penalty area to give him a chance to get his shooting boots on, no build up of pressure. No real deliveries to him from wide, midfield not really helping him. He did a different job today but it was a good one.

Not a surprise !
Mane must wonder sometimes when he is subbed when Salah is so poor.
Just no control in midfield.
Piss poor up front.
Can’t even play a simple ball to each other.
It’s no good putting five past teams then missing your chances in a tight game.
Matip is playing spare man but his distribution just isn’t good enough.
Everton made it tough and was a fair result.
It shows when VVD Is mom.

He was good but from a forward you expect him to manufacture at least one chance of his own making in 90 minutes. He gets paid for scoring goals and that’s what he’ll be measured on ultimately.

I think he would have preferred to have had a stinker as long as he had scored.

Great game for a neutral.
Either team could have won and I think a draw is probably a fair result.
Both teams will probably feel like they've dropped two points, but it obviously hurts one team more than the other.
VVD is just superb and Calvert-Lewin had a great game, too.
I really enjoyed that game.

Just lacked that little bit of composure when needed and a little bit of quality on tbe ball , poor touches and poor passes in tbe final third. Not good enough but gives the bitters something to celebrate - cheering a player going down injured ?! I’m sure they will release the DVD for the famous draw

each to their own, thought it was a poor watch and lacking in attacking quality and a pretty inconsistent refs performance, too many players found the pace of the game too fast and made far too many mistakes

Happy with effort from the players.
Could of easily been beaten 2 or 3 nil on another day.
Just got to keep that level of effort up till the end of the season.

Think Souness has it spot on .
We lack a class player who can control the ball and play the killer pass a la Silva.
We just needed someone to step up but we havnt got one.

We had the chances but didn’t take one so got what we deserved.
I hate Derby’s they are very rarely a good football match.

Good weekend all round I’d say.

Why Klopp doesn’t play Salah I can’t fathom.

What?he did play
One season wonder,just when Liverpool need the Egyptian Messi(lmao) he goes missing.

Do wish Utd had bought VVD though he is just pure quality

Love Liverpool fans just can’t wait to blame someone or something when things get sticky.
Can’t think of anyone on here has pointed it out before.
