@JimBoardman Well said. Seeing too many on here (assuming they're real...) claim that the league is now over.

[Jim Boardman @JimBoardman]

Frustrating today but turning on the players now does more harm than good.

Second only on goal difference, still above the side more likely to win it if Liverpool don’t, only up there because these players and a host of others have fought through everything thrown their way, including creative refereeing, awkward scheduling and a season long injury crisis. They haven’t fought alone though, of course.

Liverpool’s twelfth man doesn’t run around the pitch with a whistle and a headset, Liverpool’s twelfth man is there before, during and after games doing its bit in the way that it has for all the Reds’ success down the years.

Today wasn’t a defeat, however much it feels like it. Easy to forget what defeat really feels like when it’s only happened twice in the league all season, both times courtesy of officiating so bad even the PGMOL had to admit to it.

A win would have felt massive today, but it still wouldn’t have won the league, just like the draw hasn’t lost the league today. What happens in the games still to play, by the three sides still in it, will decide that.

These players and the staff will all be hurting tonight, reliving every moment and kicking themselves for what they wished they’d done instead, but not one of them will be allowed to think this race is over.

Not one of them would rather be one of the lads from the other side either, celebrating the scraping of a point at home despite being dominated at their own former fortress, a point that sees them eleven points below the top five, 22 from top.

If Liverpool’s players perform from now to the end of the season the way they have for the vast majority of the games up to now, with the fans pushing them through, they’ll win every one. And, despite the goal difference, that might just turn out to be enough to win the league.

@guardian_sport Is this the April Fools article?

@halekatie Die Hard. Specifically the third one. Very bizarre/unnecessary sex scene.

@MadelaineLucieH Early-C19th? More often than you'd think...

[Andrew Brunskill @AndrewBrunskill]

@MadelaineLucieH Nope - nearly died! A slightly different extreme...

@halekatie @canongatebooks Such a pretty book! 😍

[Andrew Brunskill @AndrewBrunskill]

@JimBoardman What a performance. Shame it seemed we'd already used up the allotted penalty against them early

[Andrew Brunskill @AndrewBrunskill]

@DaveMitchMiller One way to describe jt

[Caoimhe O'Neill @CaoimheSport]

How is that not a penalty?

[David @DaveMitchMiller]

VAR should have sent the ref to have a look at the Doku challenge. Another one... #LFC

[Andrew Brunskill @AndrewBrunskill]

@Steve_white81 @JimBoardman And now they want us to kick it out with walker down.

[Andrew Brunskill @AndrewBrunskill]

Cheek of these mancs - didn't kick it out when Salah was down. Walker himself dragged him up. #LFCvMCFC

[Jim Boardman @JimBoardman]

City on the ropes, Liverpool need to capitalise on this and quick.
