Liverpool 1-1 Sunderland - the fans' verdict

We asked for your views on Wednesday's Premier League match between Liverpool and Sunderland.

Here are some of your comments:

Liverpool fans

Kev: Passive at times, frantic at times and never in control. The only player who deserves a pat is Dominik Szoboszlai. I can't remember the last time Salah got the better of his opposite number and he looks lost, predictable and poor. I think his sell-by date is here. Sunderland were the better side.

Paul: Don't be fooled by the win against West Ham. Slot has ripped the heart and soul from this team and last night was proof that, we were running around like headless chickens. There is no leadership on and off the field and the team spirit of Jurgen Klopp's era has been fully extinguished.

Luke: The performance was as flat as the atmosphere at Anfield. The quietest I have experienced in nearly 50 years. Well done to the Sunderland fans who sang throughout. Passes and crosses in the last third were terrible, and for the majority of the game, Liverpool were statues, very little movement. Florian Wirtz's goal a moment of genius that will hopefully be the start of many.

Floyd: Poor tactically. We're playing as individuals and not as a team. How Sunderland played is how we should play. We lack energy and dynamism. The days of controlling the match by sideways passing is akin to Brendan Rodgers' style. At this rate, we are headed for mid-table obscurity.

Sunderland fans

Dave: It's refreshing to see us go away against the champions and stick to our plan. We look like we enjoy defending and treat it as a challenge rather than a necessity. We're a constant threat on the attack too.

Lee: Great start and we took the game to Liverpool early. Respected them but kind of didn't. Getting something from the game was definitely the brief, and we hit that. On reflection, it was a shame that an own goal brought them back into things. We could have won it late on but we have to enjoy the rest which we passed very, very well.

David: Another proud night at Anfield as the magic carpet ride continues. Perhaps the football world will begin to accept that we're here to stay. It's not all about the 'big' clubs. Defended well with Omar Alderete and Reinildo superb, and Bryan Brobbey continues to improve. If only Wilson Isidor had stuck that one away at the end. Next stop Etihad Satdium.

Harry: Ridiculous to say but that was two points dropped, albeit we would have taken that result before the match started. We were the better team and we do need to see games out but, all in all, we were brilliant.
