Not only did the league's anchor man draw with the third best but the third best squandered a 2-0 lead. Said Liver manager Jurgen Klopp post-match:
"Useless comeback. I don't think that point will help West Brom massively, it is a complete waste of points: they don't need it, we would have needed it.
"They are happy now, we are not happy. We stay in the league, they don't stay in the league -- it is a strange situation.''

Which is a strange thing for Jurgen Klopp to say! Sport is about competition. Jurgen Klopp did not want West Brom to compete; just wanted them to hand Liverpool the match, give them the three points Liverpool need--still need--to cinch the Champions League competition next season. "It is a complete waste of points." For West Brom to deny Liverpool the points. Strange in the extreme! Maybe this perplexing view by the manager is one of the reasons Liverpool dropped points today-- just as they have all season. NEVER heard a sportsman say anything like that. Never.
