Liverpool could have sealed their place in the last 16 of the Champions League with a win at Sevilla but were frustrated after a 3-3 draw. The Reds stormed into a 3-0 lead at half-time thanks to goals from Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane but as usual, we collapsed again in the second half, against the Spanish side.
Alberto Moreno was partly to blame for two goals before he was taken off and the La Liga side scored in the final minute of stoppage time to keep the group open. We now have to ensure that we avoid defeat against Spartak Moscow on gameweek 6 to make it to the last 16.
Jurgen Klopp certainly was not happy and he stated that the players felt they had won the tie at half-time. The German was also unhappy with the point and the Liverpool’s official website quoted him as saying:
“No. Before the game, and that’s maybe a strange thing, if you told me it would be a draw I would say, ‘OK, let me see the game first but it is not the worst result’ – but then when you then play that first half then you want to win, of course.”
The Reds will prepare for their next game against Chelsea, which is on Saturday but the draw did feel like a loss and left a bitter taste for many.
Twitter was filled with a number of angry fans and here are some of the reactions after the game.
How can we be so dominant in the first half, but be so bad in the second? Absolutely horrendous.

Do we always have to play Henderson? Get Keita now

Jurgen Klopp is a total mess

Mate… Patience is the key. Klopp is a mad genius. He will slowly get to know EPL well and build one of the most successful Liverpool teams ever.

This Karius is causing us much harm. Is it because he is a German? Klopp must learn.

We must do away with those dunderheaded Henderson and Karius. We cannot not be led by this foolish captain just because he is an English.

We honestly need a new leader who can calm things down in situations like that and control the game
