Premier League, Anfield

Jurgen Klopp’s side continue to make hard work of finalising a top-four finish after being held by relegation-threatened opponents for the second game running.

It was a poor performance from the changed-up Reds, who will be furious with having been denied a stonewall penalty in the final moments by dreadful referee Andre Marriner.

The Reds are making the final push for Champions League qualification harder than it needs to be, and the result left supporters frustrated at the final whistle.

Here’s how they saw the game on Facebook, Twitter and our forums.

Fans were frustrated with the sluggish performance…

5 goals in 70 minutes vs Roma. Looking at 2 goals in 180 minutes vs the Bottom 2.

Roma should ask the Champions League to move the fixture to 12:30 kickoff

Dunno why we've played a long ball game. Mystifying.

Yeah we'll take a point but not being able to beat the worst two teams in the league is embarrassing.

Kopites were furious with referee Marriner…

No chance we win. Andre Marinner would be sliding in on Mo to clear a ball off the line

That's an absolute disgrace how that hasn't been given as a penalty.

#LFC So in the UCL Milner gets pinged for a pen, but no pen for the same rhing today, really @FA u and your refs are a hopeless joke.

Andre Marriner would have waved play on in Dallas 1963.

Spurs have had more league penalties at Anfield this season than Liverpool have.

Supporters bemoaned a big chance being missed to practically secure a top-four spot…

We got too complacent with this top 4 place lads.

Bloody hell. Next week's Chelsea match was meant to be dead rubber.

“We are going to come very close to throwing away a top-four finish. Our squad just simply isn’t good enough to handle those changes.”
