Yeah if you asked me pre-game how I would feel if we tied....I would have said fricking ecstatic. We really outplayed them and minus a few mental collapses on defense should have won 3-1 in my book

yep, and we've yet to bring Sahin and Assaidi into the fold... and hopefully, one or two more...

Borini still needs work. He's just a bit off. Some good moments from him today, but that final ball just isn't good enough.

It was a terrible mistake from Skrtel, but hey there were plenty of other times City could have scored and got the win.

I will happily accept this draw. I saw progress today.

Haven't seen anyone talk about Shelvey yet...he was absolutely brilliant today.

I was worried when he came on, after having a dismal performance at Hearts on Thursday. But I thought he was excellent today.

Shelvey looked fine and was close to giving us the game winner... Also, thought Johnson was a close second to Allen for MotM...

Shelvey did well. So did Coates and Kelly (despite the mental lapse that led to the first goal). And of course Sterling. What can you even say about the lad? Lock him into a long-term contract LFC.

He knew it was going in as soon as he hit it.

The Kop was rocking after this goal. I could feel the electricity from my house.

Just dropping by to say I liked Suarez today, as I know that's been a sticking point with me.

I didn't love it when he complained after going to the ground a few times, but there were no dives etc and some impressive skill to go with it. I did however like the yelling at the ref for Sterling though

The more you watch, the more you realize he dives nowhere near as much as advertised. It's usually in the bigger, frustrating matches, against good opponents when he gets frustrated and starts going to the ground.

I thought that was awesome. Love that when players do it in any sport. Shows your 17 year old that the older players have his back.

Could not be more impressed with the turnaround from West Brom. We looked brilliant, save both of the mental lapses. If we can perform at this level every match we'll be fine. Even Andy looked dangerous.

I really liked the thought of AVB when King Kenny was fired, but I'm so glad FSG didnt see it that way...

I'm sure my LFC glasses are tilting my opinion, but I just really like Rodgers...

He says the right things. He brings structure and discipline. The average age of our squad has dropped significantly and he has cleared the wage books. Brought in Allen, Borini and Sahin. Hopefully 1 or 2 more to come in by friday and it will be a good summer.

Did you see him celebrate? I loved that about Kenny. He bled with this team. He celebrated and was broken by our wins and losses.

BR seems to be the exact same. When Martin hit that header Brendan looked like he was practicing on a punching bag. I just love that he doesn't see this as a job, but a privilege.

He reminds me so much of Shanks, its uncanny.
