    There's no justice in this world.

    Anyway, Liverpool have themselves to blame. And it's not just this game where they haven't been clinical enough.

    Very harsh yellow considering there was zero contact with the player.

    No I think this is justice considering how many times Liverpool have done the same this season.

    Not that they won't still win though.

    Onana should get that out for a corner.

    United are very wasteful in bringing the ball out. Almost consistently going back to Liverpool before the second pass is completed. They can't hold the lead inviting pressure like that

    Stonewall peno there. Bissaka normally so good at those tackles but when they don't work....

    Has to be a penalty and is. Silly from Wan Bissaka. Good play from Liverpool though.

    I wouldn't let Salah take this.

    Edit: Fair play, he scored it though.

    Stonewall penalty.

    Salah makes it 2-2

    Terrible result for Liverpool against a really bad Utd team. How bad was Curtis Jones though…..awful when he came on.

    Are Liverpool usually that piss poor in front of goal? I've only seen them playing us but the amount of chances they wasted is absolutely shocking. Nunez is a comedy footballer.

    As a United fan I'll take a point...thought they lack any composure and rely on moments of magic...Liverpool still in it but really need Jota back...Nunez tries hard but is very limited so need to replace him with Jota asap

    As I said in the United forum earlier, the game was never a straightforward win for Liverpool despite a lot United fans fearing the worst . You only need to watch the FA cup game to see we have butchering chances and good positions at an insane rate and that continued vs Brighton and Sheffield United but today was another level. The worst finishing I can remember for a lot time.

    Gotta say I didn't think Wan Bissaka fouled Elliott. I initially thought it was a penalty but after watching replays I don't think it was.

    He never made contact with the player and Elliott put his foot down between his legs and basically took a dive, there was no need for him to go down there. It's quite clear he wasn't affected in any way by putting his foot where he did.

    Like Keane said after the game, it was clever attacking play from Elliot. He certainly bought the penalty but AWB was reckless sliding in there, there is no margin for error with those tackles.

    Disappointed to come away with a draw in the end. Liverpool had control of the ball but they were largely poor in front of goal.

    Brain dead from AWB to go to ground when he did. Offered them the way back in.

    Mainoo goal was out of this world though. The level of talent that lad has is outrageous.

    Liverpool a couple of levels below where they were 18-24 months ago.

    Of course sure nobody gave Liverpool a chance at the start of the season for the league some even saying they would be lucky to get top 4 as they expected a team in transition

    It's not over yet but failing to beat that United side today is criminal.

    What was Wood at? Blasting it from 2 yards out

    He scored a great goal today but I still struggle to see the hype behind Mainoo as a midfielder. Liverpool created chance after chance after chance today. They didn't take them, but it's not uncommon for Man Utd to concede so many chances. Their midfield is very poor, Mainoo at the heart of it, and only for poor finishing/final ball could have have lost by 3 or 4 goals. Defensive midfielder should be putting a stop to that. Utd got away with it.
