The ref was actually great today he let the play run and didn't flash that many cards. The linesman though was shocking. Their second goal when they won the throw should have been a Liverpool but fair enough these things do even themselves out. But the offside at the end was just shocking, i could see from my sitting room that he was onside, there was no foul in the box, and the ref even thought it was a goal, 11 seconds later the linesman's flag goes up. What the F*CK??? This is a joke, the refs need help in the form of technology simple as and end of story.

Great game. Gutted for us that we were robbed of a perfectly good goal especially given how late the flag was. Think that linesman will be stood down for a couple of weeks after that. The whole team showed a lot of character and Rodgers himself adapted well to a couple of challenges. Firstly he brought back Enrique and kept Jones in goal and to be honest neither let us down one bit. Secondly he realised very quickly after the challenge that Sterling put in that we had to keep him out of the game for a while. Some may have panicked and subbed him immediately. Some would have done nothing and the inevitable would have happened. Instead he moved players around.

The next thing he did was to make substitutions early and he knew that in a local derby game away from home in the pouring rain that the passing game he uses was not going to work out well.

In that game Shelvey would have been a prime candidate for a first half yellow so starting him as sub was a good move.

This was overall a brilliant performance against a side who have found great form at home and have some players like Distin and Fellaini that get away with a lot of rough stuff. Allen stood up to Fellaini who somehow did not get booked despite having three goes at Sterling in three seconds getting him with the third one. Suarez made a silly challenge on Distin for a booking that puts him one away from a ban.

The only thing that was missing was the two points we missed out on due to that linesman. But although the players went up to the officials at the end they all took it extremely well. I was absolutely fuming as most on here would have been so to conduct themselves as calmly as they did was a tribute to the way they are being coached.

quite happy with a point myself, thought it was always going to be a difficult game, we aquitted ourselves quite well at times and overall a point is a fair result for me, gives us something to build on. I thought the linesman got it wrong with the Suarez offside but the ref missed Coates foul on Jagielka for the knock down so it probably evened itself out a bit, having said that you are always going to get controversial and missed decisions in fast paced derby games with plenty at stake and tension, overall more than happy with a point.

And we are holding our mid table position quite nicely.

stanley we are what we are mate, just two wins all season and already a quarter of the season gone, bang on course for a finish between 7th and 10th, better get used to it mate and forget your expectations of grandua of top four places, you will never get them.

I think a draw was a fair result although I have to say that the decision to disallow Suarez goal at the end for offside was appalling! We can't seem to take a trick and get any luck at all. Suarez was played onside by not just 1 but 2 players and it's remarkable that the referees and linesmen can't get these things right!

It's about time they brought in some technology because it costs clubs too much these days. Other sports have gone for technology so why don't FIFA move with the times.

Never sure if ur talking bout us or the toffees.

We were excellent the ref won them a point.

The ref won them a point but we were definitely not excellent giving away a 2 goals lead. Our defensive system is still crap.

when tey design computers with arms and pockets to put the brown envelopes in u will have tech in game
