    This is just the sort of game that the Liverpool of the past few years would go and lose, which is why they've struggled to keep up with the other Champions League contenders.
    It'll be interesting, from a "neutral" point of view if this is going to be "their year" at last. They'll have to take 3 points tonight if it is to be.

    Our passing is getting better. Keep it up and we can get something here.

    I think that we will. Holding Liverpool to one is the part I'm dubious about.

    We can't hold on to the ball!

    Henderson hasn't be brilliant so far and Coutinho's been taken out of the game well.

    Sterling on at half time hopefully.

    Some great football from you lot so far, Lallana in particular.

    Very curious whether Rodgers will change formation at half...the diamond isn't exactly giving them the desired advantage in the middle of the field, and we're destroying them down the flanks.

    Good first half performance, on the whole.

    Half time. If the breaks had been different, we would be ahead.

    Can't complain too much, it's been an entertaining game, we just can't finish

    Liverpool very lucky to be ahead, but our finishing has been absolutely awful. 7 shots, all from inside the penalty area, and only one on target.

    Look vulnerable to long balls with only two defenders looking after Sturridge and Suarez as well. Strange to say it considering how dominant we have been overall, but have a feeling we are going to get rolled over in the second half.

    We're the better team, playing some nice football, creating chances. Very unlucky to conciede a goal.

    Frustrating.

    I had just been typing "fonte handling suarez reasonably well" when the bugger scores. Finishing hasn't been great.

    You can say its a lucky goal but when the ball falls to suarez he scores. Our strikers just don't seem to capitalise. J-rods shot was tame- i think he needs more power in his shot.

    Usual story. It's about time we got the lucky break....or finish more accurately!?!

    Read through the comments on the bbc feed over the last 25 minutes of that half.



    PRIDE.

    From box to box, one of our best performances of the year...love the tempo at which we have been attacking, and the passing through midfield has been near-perfect. Keep this up and there is a goal in it for us.
