Liverpool snatches 96th minute equalizer vs West Brom
Unconvincing against both Newcastle United and Swansea City in recent weeks, and directly responsible for the Bordeaux’s goal in the Europa League, he was once again at fault for Craig Dawson’s opener. It seemed only a matter of time before Liverpool would score with West Brom backs fully against the wall.
There is still a hesitancy and uncertainty in front of him, which transmits backwards and makes life so hard for Mignolet. “It’s best if we can avoid majority, but we can’t avoid all, because they take all of them for a set play with a lot of bodies in the box”. It was the best atmosphere in my time in England, absolutely great and I wanted to say thank you. “Usually I shake hands, I did not today because it was not a friendly game”.
Pulis defended Gardner over the challenge on Lovren.
And Pulis said he plans to speak with the officials to ascertain the reasons behind their hesitancy.
“I’ve been in the game a long ling time and been as animated as anyone else”.
“He has got to do what he has got to do.it’s his dugout”.
At full-time, he gathered his players together to salute the Kop.
With the fitness of Daniel Sturridge in doubt, the German will be looking to Origi and Christian Benteke to fire in front of goal to push his side towards the Champions League places over the festive period.
The hosts were in danger of losing their second straight Premier League game after West Brom had rallied to lead 2-1. Simon Mignolet’s failure to punch a corner kick out of dangers led to a scramble in his penalty area, and the ball fell kindly to Dawson, who slotted his shot through traffic into the goal. Instead, he requested a word with referee Craig Pawson and, while Albion players celebrated en masse on the opposite side of the pitch, the goal was rightly but confusingly disallowed. “He can help if he comes out”. “They saw that the lads tried everything and played football”, he added.
Olsson would not be denied though and the defender put West Brom ahead with just under 20 minutes to go with a fine glancing header at the near post.
Lovren was then clattered into by Gardner – who won the ball first – but recklessly followed through and left the Croatian defender needing stitches in his leg.
It’s a cut. We hope it’s not too serious but we have to wait for a scan. I’d give the advice to stay cool and see what happens.
Klopp made four changes from the side which drew 0-0 with FC Sion midweek, with Moreno coming in for Smith, Benteke for Origi, Coutinho for Firmino and Skrtel for Toure.
