Chapter 1: How did West Brom come back from two goals down against Liverpool?
I'm sure plenty of prayers being said on the terraces at the Hawthorns.
And they have got themselves level. Rondon with a flying header.
West Brom back from the brink. From 2-0 down to 2-2 for West Brom. Six shots on target for them. The second most they've managed this season. Liverpool with the majority of possession, but West Brom with more corners. And they covered pretty much the same distance in that game.
It's the first time in three years that they've come from two goals down to take a point from a match, but they were muted celebrations at the final whistle. The goal scorers, Livermore and Rondon, with Patrick Davison.
Well, guys, you've shown incredible fight, but, Jake, it looks like you know it's not enough.
Yeah, it's a shame, really. We've just started to gain that bit of belief and resilience and... and that bit of confidence in the last few games.

Chapter 2: What were the key moments that led to West Brom's equalizer?
But all we can do is keep fighting, keep fighting for each other, for our fans, for our staff, and we'll just see what happens.
Salomon, you looked absolutely devastated at full-time on your haunches going over to the supporters. Do you feel like you've just gone down?
Yes, I feel devastated because it's a difficult situation for us, our relegates. They say we need to keep fighting until the end of the season, so I say thank you to the fans, thank you to the team-mates. We did, we worked too hard, so let's keep going.
Jake, does the game reflect the season? The comeback came just a little bit too late.
Probably, yeah, probably. I don't think you can all agree it's not for the want of trying, it's just the rubber to green hasn't quite happened where last season perhaps it did. But, you know, like I said, it's not through effort or endeavour. It's just one of those things. And like you say, I think today topped off perhaps how the season's gone for us.
To reflect on the season for a second then, why do you think it has happened? Why have you found yourself in this spot?

Chapter 3: What insights do the players share about their mindset after the match?
It's obviously difficult to say. Obviously, if any of us knew, we would have tried to change it 10 games ago. I think confidence is a massive thing. I think we've thrown away 24, 26 points or something from leading positions, which... which isn't like us, unfortunately, but this season it seems to have gone that way, but there we are.
Salomon, can this group stick together and bring the club back?
Yes, it's the only way to get back. Stay together all the time. We need to keep going, we need to keep fighting, for us, for the supporters, for the staff, so just that.
Thanks for talking to us.
Thank you.
Well, despite the fact they came from two goals down to draw two all, it does feel as though it's a relegation interview with those two goal scorers there. It's not mathematically done. They can get to 34 points. We've got Swansea on 33, Crystal Palace on 34.

Chapter 4: How did Liverpool's performance impact their standing in the league?
But as long as this has been coming for us, is that it, Ricky?
I think so. I think they definitely needed to win today. That was... That was a definite. I think if there was one or two teams above them, then a chance for four teams above them. No, I think that's it. I think you could tell clearly there by the faces. I think they know it as well.
They said it wasn't down to lack of effort, it wasn't down to lack of fight. Did we see that fight from West Brom all the way through this game?
No, we didn't, Kelly. If they play like that in the next game, they probably won't win. The intensity only came 15 minutes left of play. If that intensity, desire, commitment was shown early on, because Liverpool were there for the taking, given the role where we touched on it.
Chapter 5: What were the key tactical decisions made by West Brom during the game?
But West Brom didn't test them at all. That's what should have happened from the start. When the whistle went, get in Liverpool's faces, put them under pressure, get balls in the box. And it was proven that Liverpool were vulnerable when teams attack him.
That's exactly what we saw with the first of West Brom's goals, Ricky.
Yes, West Brom are one of the best in the league at set pieces as well, the amount of goals they do score. It's disappointing. I think Firmino thinks it's going out there. I think he doesn't go to header. It's been kept in at the last second. and they've got the rebound.
The spare men everywhere in that six-yard box. First, it's Dawson Swipes, he's free. Ngazi's free in case it pulls out. Nobody's taking control of that danger area.
Chapter 6: How did the match affect the players' confidence moving forward?
Nobody whatsoever. The zone on Markham drives me crazy. It really does. And Liverpool are being caught out, and the second goal comes from it as well. Responsibility is more important. He's my man, he's your man. That's a simple football, and the zone on Markham doesn't work for me.
The second goal came from a free kick. We understand that Jurgen Klopp is unhappy about the awarding of the free kick. There's sort of two stages to it. We think it was for the first stage, don't we?
I think it's for this instance here, and I think it is a foul. I think that is obstruction. He should have blew then, though. If that's a foul, he should blow.
Chapter 7: What are the implications of this match for both teams' seasons?
I think he's going to see to see if he gets away from it. the player. He clearly hasn't got away and then he blows. Look where he takes the free kick from, yeah, you're right. I think it's the first one.
But how embarrassing is this? I think Firmino's trying to keep him up instead of dropping back. But Lovren's dropped on his own, so Lovren's keeping everybody onside. So they haven't held a line. They're not picking up, they're not staying with men, they're trying to hit the space. And a great ball in.
Great ball, great header.
Great header, but poor defending.
And like you said, as disappointed or as unhappy as Klopp was with the awarding of the free kick...
the the part of it that he can change is how his team defends of course once you've once you've conceded the free kick regroup right let's get marked up your man my man this is dangerous because as as ricky said their set pieces are very very dangerous that's what we need to work on stay tight we win the game defend this situation we can go now and win the game and it didn't happen

Chapter 8: What did Jurgen Klopp say about the performance and the pitch conditions?
Given the line-up of the back four for Liverpool today, how much of a concern is that defending ahead of the game against Roma?
I think this is what me and Steve were saying before the game. Consistency is very important, but for a back four, it's the most important that they build on that relationship. Especially, they've been in good form the last couple of months. I just feel like they needed to carry that going into this game. I'm hoping it's not going to affect them.
I hope the players who come back in are going to be confident and carry on how they've been the last couple of months.
Correct. I think Klopp is in between do arrest players and take a chance and get the results, or do we keep that back four and get us working together? Because this would have been an ideal training session for the normal back four to say, let's do what we're going to do on Tuesday. Let's take it as a practice session and work on the things that we might want to do on Tuesday.
I didn't do that and it disrupts the flow of the back four and again carries us in no man's land on two or three occasions. So that doesn't bode well, chopping and changing your back four. I always believe that you stick with what you've got.
Jürgen Klopp's Liverpool 2-0 up against West Brom here at the Hawthorns, but they drop two points against the side bottom of the Premier League. Two all, the final score, and Klopp is with Patrick Davison.
Jürgen, you looked to have a firm grip of that. Where do you think the game slipped?
When they scored the goals, so I think we controlled it pretty well. It's clear that they pretty much have only opportunities with set pieces, all the rest we defended really well. The first half it's difficult, Brandt and Phillips, they take them really well, so over the first half it was dangerous but they had no chances with that. So we scored a second, that's good, and then we gave
I think the corner was difficult, the whole game, it's like the block on a goalkeeper. I know everybody likes it in that country, but it makes life quite difficult for a goalie in these situations. And then the second, I think it's what I heard, what my guys told me, was not a foul, so it was the only chance they can have in a situation like that. Then they scored twice.
