thats what you get for trying to defend a 1 goal lead for 20 minutes.

1-0 up and Benitez takes Torres off. Unless he was struggling badly he needed to stay on the pitch with the scoreline like that. Any coincidence that Liverpool concede a goal with Lucas and Benayoun on the pitch.  Benitez too cautious again in taking his strikers off?

Keane was anonymous tonight...did he do anything constructive when he was on the pitch?

Look at the results from the weekend, Aresnal, Villa, Chavki and the Scum all get winners in he last ten minutes. We surrender the lead in the last 10, thats the difference in first and second.

I don't think the Torres substitution had much to do with it at all. He was only gone for the last five minutes and his absence had no impact on the goal. It was a stupid tackle and terrible defending, end of story. The fact that they created f**k all in the rest of the game left them vulnerable to such a f**k up, but Torres was on for 85 minutes and Keane didn't even touch the ball.

Howard Webb- the self proclaimed best referee in the world

1-0 up and Benitez takes Torres off.

I think they were worried about his fitness as he hasn't played a full game yet since coming back. Probably thought they would see the game out without him. Commentators said he gave them the thumbs up though so he probably wanted to carry on.

Benny and Lucas were bought on and all they did was give away free-kicks. Lucas gave one away about 10 seconds after coming on. Why was he on ahead of Mascherano anyway? Just conceded too many silly free-kicks allowing Everton to lump balls into our penalty area.

Not sure what happened with Cahill. Sami seemed to be pointing at him for someone to pick him up and Skrtel was nearest him but didn't follow him. Not sure if Skrtel was keeping an eye on someone else or what?

Completely went into our shells after going ahead and let Everton have the ball when for the 30 minutes before that they couldn't get it off us.

Keane barely had a touch all night. Kuyt not much better. Gerrard had a quiet first half but again came up with some magic in the second half. Torres played well but not quite match sharp yet. Thought we looked a bit wobbly at the back though. Skrtel was unusually indecisive and Carra playing right-full is not ideal.

Howard Webb was very poor. If that is the best ref they have they are in trouble.

Only seen second half was he poor to both teams or just liverpool?? didnt think he was to bad

[bridgegael]

this stupid zonal marking was the cause of the goal,  skertle looked at cahill at least twice before the free came in, he stayed were he wwas and let cahill go.
silly free to give away in the first place.  to many draws at home and thats what will be the difference come may.

[GalwayBayBoy]

Plus Craig Burley must be the most annoying commentator working in television today.

[J70]

Zonal marking doesn't mean you just stand there and let someone have two yards of space in front of goal!

[EC Unique]

Now that Liverpool have started to slip I wonder where they will end up? Need to get out of the draw habit or could fall out of the top 4 very quick

[ONeill]

As much as i'd like to see Liverpool win it (if Arsenal can't), there's something cowardly about Benitez's tactics that ruins title ambitions (esp at home) but often works in Europe.

I bet he wished he'd never opened his mouth a couple of weeks ago.

[Armamike]

Torres faded a bit near the end but i just think you had the other team a bit of momentum when you take your most dangerous forward off

[Mayo4Sam]

Benayoun was a disaster, gave away 2 frees out on that wing, hes a fuckin waste of space

[J70]

I'd say we'll be seeing that boom-bust graph whipped out any day now by our resident gloaters!
