Conceded from a set piece, what a surprise.

[ryodi]

It's a shame Reina has left really., Mignolet just has no presence and while he was error prone I still feel he would have inspired more confidence in the defence.

[Gabe]

I've only seen the last 5 minutes or so, but it's been mentioned we've struggled to make chances. How have we played?

[hmm]

Yet another team successfully sitting deep against us and hitting us on the counter occasionally. Lucky not to be 2-1 down; they just had an excellent chance. We haven't really created much this half.

[bradigor]

Have to love the logic of the rules of football.

Ball strikes the arm of Sakho from about 10 yards at pace outside the box - Yellow Card and a freekick.
Ball strikes Ayala's arm from 20+ yards from a floated cross inside the box - No penalty.

[Gabe]

So, extra time then. Not great prep for the weekend, really.

[rjpageuk]

Pretty poor performance from Liverpool today but how many penalties should we have had so far?

Toure bundled over from a corner, lallana hacked down from behind and three hand balls in the box. The last one made more annoying by the fact their goal came from a pretty harsh free kick against sakho for the ball being blasted into his arm from 5 yards away.

Our build up play has just been too slow again today.

Yep, absolutely nuts.

[Chewylegs]

We've been the dominant team a game, but failed to create enough chances and conceded from a wicked free kick that never was a free kick.

Ayala hand ball at the end should have been given too. But basically, no cutting edge.

[Adrock]

The ref must have bottled that, it was a clear handball. Terrible decision.

[Gabe]

GOAL!

Lallana has at least looked creative again in the half-hour or so that I've seen, nice little 1-2 to create the chance. Shame that wasn't 20 minutes ago.

Let's hope we can close the game out now.

[hmm]

Jesus fucking Christ

[ryodi]

More calamitous defending

[Takizawa]

[Adrock]

This is hilarious

[Takizawa]

The question needs to be asked again, why were 8 of our team in the opposition half in the 92nd minute when we're 2-1 up and in complete control?

[Gabe]

Amazing.

[Stig]

What the fuck is Sterling doing there. Just run it into the fucking corner.

[Adrock]

Thats not the question to ask at all, the question is why was Sterling playing such an aimless ball?

Just an obvious mistake from a player.

No? One bad pass wouldn't matter if we weren't all haring around in the other half.

[hmm]

How did Toure not get sent off there anyway? Him being suspended would at least be one positive to come out of the game.

It's a bit of both, really. Sterling made a poor choice of pass and executed it badly, but equally we were pushed quite high up for no good reason. Toure didn't need to make the challenge, either.

Just poor all around.

[hmm]

Some excellent penalties here!

[Guest]

Amazing scenes.

Still better than Man U, lolz

[bradigor]

This is the polar opposite of the Man United vs Sunderland Shootout

[Adrock]

Mignolet is terrible when facing penalties, especially when you had years of Reina

[Skeeez]

will this ever end?

[squirtle]

What the fuck is going on!?

[Commander Jameson]

What the fuck is going on!?

Score ALL the penalties!

[Skeeez]

The managers should arm wrestle for the win after 10 penalties.
