Liverpool suffer Champions League blow in draw with Southampton

I spoke immediately after the game to the boys - I cannot and don't want to take away the disappointment, but what I can say is that we have one point more than before. You saw what they did. On this side people will say it was very smart because Milly missed afterwards; on the other side people will say that's not how sportsmanship works. So I don't know. But I have nothing to do with it.

Firmino had the first real effort of note after 15 minutes, firing a shot straight at Maya Yoshida and Anfield soon became as stale and as flat as the contest itself. "It was hard", he observed.

Liverpool midfielder James Milner: "It was my fault for us not getting the three points today, definitely my fault".

Liverpool have failed to win their last three matches at Anfield, dropping points against Bournemouth, Crystal Palace and now Southampton. "Southampton played in a specific way", he said.

But instead of a siege on Forster's goal, what they witnessed during that opening period were their players joining the Saints on the beach. We needed to score.

"They were very disciplined, very deep", said Klopp. It is all about scoring one and we couldn't do this.

Indeed, only Vito Mannone (13 for Sunderland in January) has made more saves against Liverpool in a Premier League game this season than Forster (8) today.

Southampton, after a hard-earned point, go 10th. Four minutes [added time], I have to say that's ambitious. It was an important save.

By all rights, the visitors should have had one of their own when Simon Mignolet appeared to puts hands on the ball outside of the box when he rushed out to meet Dusan Tadic only for it to escape the attentions of the officials.

Next up a resurgent West Ham United in their final home game of the season. "It is not the end of the world but we are really disappointed".

And with 10 minutes on the clock, Emre Can - whose spectacular bicycle kick won the game at Watford on Monday - saw an overhit pass sail just over the Southampton bar from some 40 yards out.

"We're still fighting and nobody has given up or something like this". We could have scored, that would have opened them up a bit.it is a point more but doesn't feel like that.

'The penalty was my fault, so it was probably my fault we did not get the three [points] and I have to take responsibility for that, ' Milner said after the match.

"We didn't play as well as we would have liked".
