There should have been a beach ball for this match.

Hmm! This game said a lot! Sunderland are improving under Brucey - he's becoming a very respectable stable manager - bit like Moyes at Everton. He's bought well and the squad in general looks more robust. Maybe challenge for Europe within 5 years?
Liverpool are looking better, Gerrard still has to come back fighting fit, Adam and Downing look like good signings - good strong goalie and Carrol is so dangerous in the air. NOW, Suarez. Good player, think he'll score a fair few this season (got him in my fantasy league teams) BUT does anyone else think he needs to become a little more sportsman like? I mean after the whole business in the world cup and in this game asking the ref to hand out the red card...
Whilst he's a very good player, it's things like that that can take the shine off!
Otherwise, looks like Arsenal may struggle for top four, Liverpool are back! haha! Can't wait for the Liverpool - United game! Exciting!

liverpool should have won that match against sunderland bcuz on paper we were d better side but ths jus football

beautiful goal Larsson

unlucky liverpool..

should have won and i think carroll needs to be the penalty kicker
i think he's a better shooter than suarez

i like the new liverpool squad after the big change kenny made
with a bit of teamwork improvement then i think this season liverpool is going to finish up top 4

I honestly believe the first half showed our potential but the second half showed our weaknesses. Its only the first game, if we can gel and start playing like we played in the first half and boost team moral we will deff make it in top 4 maybe even top 3. As liverpool fans i urge you to stand behind the club no matter what, because thats what we're known for... being the club with the best supporters. YNWA!!!!

I can help but wonder if we could not win the game against a team like Sunderland without the likes of the sold Bent at Anfield, with all our players...what good are these new additions. Lets be frank here, after Torres i thought we would be a better team but it seems that we are being carried by the exploits of Suarez now(still look like we are going the one trick pony way). Not impressed by Downing, Caroll and Henderson and the only guy we paid a low fee for Adams is performing as he should in the team. Our defence, lets not get started.I don't see us getting in the top four this year, let alone winning any kind of titles .We paid stupid money for average players and i am very sad to see that most of them are not lifting the team to a new level but providing nothing new. Strangely...the day Daglish was given his new contract, he lost the last two games and openned with a draw. I wonder is KD up to something?

are there any player interviews about the game v sunderland? i cant find any on youtube

god dammit suarez. in the goal please.

I HAVE HIGH HOPES FOR LIVERPOOL THIS SEASON !

Thought they played really well in the first half,Carroll was a bit unlucky to have his goal ruled out,slight nudge but nothing really.Also Downing unlucky not to score but the second half wasn't so good.Suarez looked a bit tired and the defending wasn't great,the goal came from bad marking.As the season goes on they'll improve and Adam and Downing look good.Probably choose Maxi over Henderson although there is a big age difference with Henderson still very young.Hope Gerrard comes back soon as we miss our leader on the pitch.

sick goal by Larsson

From a Liverpool fan: ''CRAP PERFORMANCE ! [...] - specially at Anfield !??? I'm absolutely speechless and gutted ! Forget the title and better aim for top four spot ! I know I'm rude on this one but as a rational Liverpool and football fan, I can't see us having that mental quality and squad strength to win the EPL !''

Now I urge the man to go easy on the lads. Yes, considering how many chances they had to kill off the game in the 1st half, the draw becomes hard to swallow. BUT it's only, ONLY, the 1st game of the season. Plus the other contenders for the top four kinda had it hard as well. Manchester United was extremely lucky at the end to get that goal as they could've ended up with a draw as well. Chelsea had a hard time finding the flow. Arsenal, well....:(

So if anything, based on the 1st half, i would feel kinda confident and optimistic this season could've its share of good runs.

IT'S JUST THE BEGINNING! Cheers!!!

flanagan is a very big folp if any one noticed it and henderson dont deserve to be in fist team in liverpool ............missed johnson very much at right back f**k flanagan after first half he didnt do any thing......

Frustrating to draw at home like we did with Suarezs missed penalty and Carrolls disallowed goal, there was nothing in that. Even more disappointing to see that United was able to grind out their 3 points...same story different season? lets hope not!

All new signings look promising though. not sure if agree with Carroll starting over Kuyt. To me Carroll suits the role of a super sub better. If we can't break down defences on the ground first, then start bombing long balls into him
