Liverpool drew 1-1 at home to Tottenham on Saturday evening, and we bring you the best social media reaction from during and after the game.
Liverpool 1-1 Tottenham
Premier League – Anfield – Saturday 2nd April 2016
Goals: Coutinho (51); Kane (63)
An enthralling match at Anfield saw both the Reds and Spurs take home a point apiece.
Harry Kane cancelled out Philippe Coutinho‘s beautifully-worked opener, and despite some late chances for either side, a winner could not be found.
The draw probably sees Liverpool’s top-four chances ended, but there were positives to take against a talented Spurs outfit.
The team news was released an hour before kick-off, and as is the norm these days, supporters had their tactical and statistical hats on:
Klopp’s first #LFC game was at Spurs. Dembele completely ran the midfield at WHL, but different shape and more stable midfield now for LFC.

I'd imagine it's either a 4-2-3-1 or a 4-3-2-1.

Narrow team selection. There's no wide midfielders in that line up therefore no crosses. Don't agree with the line up and tactics. @LFC #LFC

Stat: Spurs have won just 4 out of their last 25 visits to Anfield in the Premier League.

Mamadou Sakho had a very shaky, error-strewn first-half, and fans expressed their frustrations with the Frenchman:
Sakho doing his absolute best to prove SoccerSaturday pundits right
— SimonBrundish (@SimonBrundish) April 2, 2016
Sakho's having a Skrtel.
— Ian Doyle (@IanDoyleSport) April 2, 2016
Sakho's on the ropes here ?
— Sam McGuire (@SamMcGuire90) April 2, 2016
Sakho has been atrocious today. Lovren majestic. Funny game.
— Tom McMahon (@tomjpmac) April 2, 2016
Mamadou's having one of those games so far….

After a tight, goalless first-half, social media gave its assessment of the opening 45 minutes:
Is it a ball or a hot potato? No idea – the half of giving the ball away :P#LFC 69% pass completion#Spurs 79%
— AnfieldIndex (@AnfieldIndex) April 2, 2016
Origi on for Milner at half-time. This Spurs defence isn't infallible as pundits make out. We've exposed it at times.
— Sam McGuire (@SamMcGuire90) April 2, 2016
Half time note for #LFC and Klopp: Do not, repeat do *not*, bring on Martin Skrtel.
— Karl Matchett (@karlmatchett) April 2, 2016
Honestly think Origi will change the game.

Facebook:
Rob Anderson:
Henderson tidying up nicely at the back a few times. Sakho and Can can’t decide if they’re world class or Sunday league. Coutinho and Lallana looking dangerous.
Marcin Kostka:
Lovren and Milner the best so far. Sakho very shaky.
0-0 HT. No sure how.. Could have been 3/4 goals easy.

Liverpool ahead on points, but not much in it.

.@JHenderson and @Phil_Coutinho made eight tackles between them during the first half. Putting in a shift. pic.twitter.com/8LUW4mUxX1

A school teacher would run out of red ink marking Sakho Clyne and Can

There was delirium when Coutinho opened the scoring:
The Brazilian magician does it again in a big game. Genius at work.
— Henry Jackson (@HenryJackson87) April 2, 2016
Wonderful goal! https://t.co/zJP8QK7Qwv

Great work from Coutinho and Sturridge for the goal. Phil to Dan to Phil. Goal.
— Jim Boardman (@JimBoardman) April 2, 2016
Wonderful goal to break the deadlock. Classy finish from Coutinho who now has 10 goals this season #LFC
— James Pearce (@JamesPearceLFC) April 2, 2016
GOAL!!!! Two goals and two assists for Coutinho in his last four league appearances
— Andrew Beasley (@BassTunedToRed) April 2, 2016
Calm Coutinho!

Kane’s emphatic finish robbed Liverpool of all three points, but there was still plenty of positivity among supporters after the final whistle:
On the plus side, Lallana & Origi's improvement has been remarkable. The latter, however, needs to add goals to his workrate.
— Paul Grech (@paul_grech) April 2, 2016
Good test ahead of Dortmund. High intensity game, Spurs nothing special, we will be under Klopp. A moment of brilliance cost us the points.
— Joe Musker (@JoeMusker_) April 2, 2016
1-1. Spurs played well but so did LFC, quite evenly matched overall which shows how much higher up the table a consistent #LFC would be
— Jim Boardman (@JimBoardman) April 2, 2016
Cracking game of football

Some awfully shaky defending, notably in the first half (Sakho had a ‘mare, and Moreno was all over the shop as well) contrasted by some absolutely LOVELY play in attack.

Drawing vs a team better than you is never a bad thing
MOTM Lovren

Need Firmino back against Dortmund.
— Green Scouser (@Green_Scouser) April 2, 2016
Two good goals there. No complaints on Kane's.
— Karl (@TheCenci) April 2, 2016
#LFC goal threat with Sturridge on pitch >>>> any other combination we can play. This needs fixing in the Summer
