How did West Brom come back from two goals down against Liverpool?

Kelly Cates 0:06
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.
Steve McMahon 0:20
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.
Patrick Davison 0:49
Well, guys, you've shown incredible fight, but, Jake, it looks like you know it's not enough.
Unknown 0:55
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.

What were the key moments that led to West Brom's equalizer?

Unknown 1:04
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.
Patrick Davison 1:11
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?
Salomon Rondon 1:18
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.
Patrick Davison 1:41
Jake, does the game reflect the season? The comeback came just a little bit too late.
Unknown 1:45
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.
Patrick Davison 2:07
To reflect on the season for a second then, why do you think it has happened? Why have you found yourself in this spot?

What insights do the players share about their mindset after the match?

Unknown 2:13
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.
Patrick Davison 2:36
Salomon, can this group stick together and bring the club back?
Salomon Rondon 2:39
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.
Patrick Davison 2:55
Thanks for talking to us.
Salomon Rondon 2:56
Thank you.
Steve McMahon 2:58
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.

How did Liverpool's performance impact their standing in the league?

Steve McMahon 3:12
But as long as this has been coming for us, is that it, Ricky?
Rickie Lambert 3:14
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.
Steve McMahon 3:32
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?
Kelly Cates 3:38
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.

What were the key tactical decisions made by West Brom during the game?

Kelly Cates 3:55
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.
Steve McMahon 4:09
That's exactly what we saw with the first of West Brom's goals, Ricky.
Rickie Lambert 4:13
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.
