It feels like a loss. As it should always be when we do not win in OT.

Good game from the team and the manager.

Absolutely gutted. Would of snapped your hand off at the start for a draw though. Feel like I’ve lost a relative.

You can't just sit back so deep like that. We had no outlet at all and just kept giving them the ball back. Not an awful result in the circumstances, but we just completely handed them the initiative in the second half.

Decent point, I guess. Kind of sad watching us desperately trying to hang on against Liverpool at Old Trafford, but we are where we are.
Mourinho was hung out to dry when we performed like this. However this is now being considered a good performance because Ole has let the standards drop so low.

I’d have taken a draw beforehand but feck me if that doesn’t feel like a loss
This. Rashford should have been kept on. He kept pressing till the end there.

Pathetic attitude in the last 10 minutes. Our cowardly approach towards the end of the game cost us.

Well last season Liverpool failed to beat us at our ground and I thought at the time that it would cost them the title. Especially against an injury ravaged team. History repeats itself.

Given circumstances and injuries, very happy with performance and it’s a fair result.

McTominay, James, Mcguire and young did very well.

Can take positives from that as
a springboard and slowly work ourselves up the table before January transfer window.

I can say im fairly happy with that performance, with the squad we had out. One mistake, after abit of confusion between Awb and Periera, but other than that, we didnt give them time in the ball, and attacked fast when countering.

Rashford was a different animal today.

Disappointing, and once again the defence leaks a stupid goal. I do wonder if it actually has improved. Of course, once again fail to score more than once. They were there for the taking but we were too shit and cautious to put them to the sword.

Complete cowardice in the second half. He keeps talking about pushing on for the second goal but every single decision he made in that second half screamed settle for what we’ve got. Two points and a big confidence boost thrown away. The Williams sub said it all.

Didn't get spanked. Good enough for today. Now just need to win against the likes of Norwich and Burnley

Nothing more than a game raising performance. All this talk about attacking/ United way etc, and at home we decide to end with 6-3-1 formation to hold onto a 1-1. After losing the goal by playing a deep 5-4-1.

Decent result but disappointing in the end. I don't understand why we're incapable of playing for 90 minutes.

Good result. I didn’t think we played that well but it’s about as good as we’ll get at the moment. Disappointing defending at the end cost us.

OGS tacticts were spot on but the quality and invention is simply just lacking.

Atkinson is a major twat - how Rojo and Young didnt have any yellow cards is beyond me.
Yet another false dawn. Still can't hold onto the ball or string a couple good passes. This will only succeed in buying OGS some desperately needed time.

Rojo is a clown, 101 defending never let the ball run across you especially in the box.

If we play with that effort and intensity for the rest of the season we’d be alright. We just don’t have enough quality right now but that was a good showing. Tactically we stifled them until the last 5 mins where we were just worn out and allowed their FBs to swing in the crosses. Unfortunately we paid for it. But a draw is not a bad result.

Wet fart of a result. Buys Ole more time he doesn't deserve. Won't dent Liverpool's momentum much at all, good result for them in a dire performance. Ole guarenteed they'd equalise when he decided to switch to 5-3-2 and then 5-4-1. Couldn't get out of our half after that.

No doubt we'll build on today with another spectacular away defeat next week against Norwich.

At least Rashford found a bit of his brain again. And James put in demonic effort.

Thought we would lose so a point better than none. Still we are so bloody average it hurts, we are still on course for finishing on 42 points so we will avoid relegation at least.

It hasn’t improved. We just attack even less than we did under Mourinho.

Not sure did quite enough to deserve the 3 points, but a decent performance from us.

Given how it ended, it's obviously disappointing but positive at least.

We need to get a win next week now against Norwich.

Would have taken a draw pre game but it feels like 2 points dropped given our lead and how pedestrian we made Pool look. Great effort from the boys.

Very disappointing we could not hang on , there is an inevitability about us screwing up when the pressure comes on and today was no different.

The performance for lot of the game was better but the results are still relation type results.

After they scored we showed no ambition or composure and full time could not come fast enough for us.

That went a lot better than expected.
Before the game most could only see a pool win but we did quite well today.
We had the beating of them which, again, was unexpected.

You can't sit back and defend a one goal lead for most of the second half. Would have taken a draw at the beginning but Liverpool's late goal makes it a disappointment.

Decent performance, nothing more. Wasn't impressed with Liverpool but I'm sure they're happy enough to come away with a draw and get on with their season.

Liverpool looked bereft of creativity.
Wonder what would have happened had Pogba played?
Lost our way a bit in the last 10 or so
Not the worst result, but feels like a loss

Gutted not to win but proud of the lads. We're carrying too many bad players at the moment. The commitment was superb.

I’m astounded at the moaning going on here post match. Ffs.
We got a point, played decent, give everything yet posters are still going in on the players and manager.

Feels like a loss. That equaliser felt like a proper gut punch after allowing myself to hope for the first time in a long time.
