Liverpool stuttered to a point this evening as they scored late to secure a point against Luton Town.
The Hatters thought they had won the game when Tahit Chong scored late on, but an even later goal from Luis Diaz saw the Reds return to Anfield with something.
There were some worrying moments in the match for Liverpool. A poor performance by their standards and a superb miss from Darwin Nunez summed up a bad day at the office.
And late in the match, Liverpool defender Kostas Tsimikas also made what Jamie Carragher called a “stupid” mistake by committing an unnecessary foul. Jamie Carragher beats Kostas Tsimikas during Liverpool-Luton
Speaking on co-com for Sky Sports, Carragher was less than impressed with Tsimikas as he stalled the momentum Liverpool were building.
“Stupid challenge, absolutely ridiculous. Perfect for Luton, take your time with the free kick, but what are you doing?
Tsimikas was left on the bench from the start today, but he came on as Jurgen Klopp chased the game.
He offered little, however, and this foul more or less sums up his performance. Liverpool must do better
It’s a great honor to follow Luton’s path here, but Liverpool simply have to do better.
It was a weekend where teams who wanted to chase Man City this season were disappointed, with Liverpool and Arsenal failing to win.
It would be a huge disappointment for Jürgen Klopp if his team dropped points against one of the bottom teams in the championship.
As the season progresses, such results can be costly and Liverpool will return to Merseyside upset by their failure to secure a victory.
The best news for Liverpool today was Luis Diaz’s goal. But other than that, it was a pretty dull day at the office.
