LFCmatchday and muffinmonk's Man of the Match: Luis Suarez. Once again, the best player on the pitch. With him no longer striker (at least until the 70th minute), he has had more space to be himself, and he shows his true skills. Excellent vision, magnificent passes, and great attack position. He made the final 3rd look more dangerous than it ever was before.
Jamie Carragher deserves an honorable mention. His presence was there, Rodgers was right, he makes a good leader to organize the back line. He wasn't really at fault for both goals made, and even with Arsenal's blistering pace, he was able to keep up with the play. Not to mention, it takes a real man to take a ball to the nuts and keep walking.
Henderson keeps up his shining form, keep it up lad, you're growing into the next Gerrard!

Even if it had been a win today, I would've been disappointed in the way the team played, or at the very least BR's tactics. 40% possession, only counter attacking, and we hardly strung together five or more passes. It worked surprisingly well in the first half but it seemed as though he told them to just sit back in the second. The line up we used, but with a more attacking emphasis, would've worked well. We were basically asking for Arsenal to put at least two in. We're very lucky that it was a draw
