Liverpool kick-started their Champions League campaign with a 2-2 draw against Sevilla at Anfield on Wednesday evening.
Liverpool 2-2 Sevilla
Champions League Group Stage, Anfield
September 13, 2017
Goals: Firmino 21′, Salah 37′; Ben Yedder 5′, Correa 72′
Sevilla started off as the better side and got the opening goal after five minutes through Wassim Ben Yedder, but Roberto Firmino quickly equalised for the Reds.
Mohamed Salah gave Liverpool a deserved lead shortly before half-time when his shot was deflected into the back of the net and Firmino then had a chance to make it 3-1 but hit the post from the penalty spot.
Joaquin Correa managed to grab an equaliser for Sevilla in the second half as Liverpool were left frustrated by missed opportunities to extend their lead.
Here are all the reactions from Liverpool supporters on social media throughout the 2-2 draw.
Fans were split on Coutinho’s exclusion from the starting XI…
Coutinho on the bench for #lfc tonight. Am disappointed tbh

That's some bench we have tonight…

“Well if we need impact players on the bench, I can’t think of better than Coutinho and Sturridge.”
– Michael McDonald on Facebook.
Very strong bench!

But there was frustration with Lovren when Sevilla opened the scoring…
And that's what happens when lovren starts

Dejan Lovren. There are simply no words I have to describe that attempt at defending. Just how?
— Rory Greenfield (@RoryGreenfield) September 13, 2017
Embarrassing start. Plenty of time to turn it back round but that was comical from #LFC
— Jim Boardman (@JimBoardman) September 13, 2017
Awful start to the game. Dejan Lovren with another defensive howler; he's got far too many mistakes in him.

Fans praised Moreno for his part in the build up to Firmino’s goal…
Moreno ??

But when Firmino missed the penalty, fans were gutted…
Send Bobby to Specsavers ya'll!

“We are wasting a lot of chances.”
– Sadmir Steveg on Facebook.
I refuse to believe he's just missed that. Nope. 3-1.

“Painful to miss there but we need to get them back!”

There was frustration when Sevilla equalised…
Central defenders really caught napping again!
— Rikki Singh ? (@rikki1502) September 13, 2017
Sevilla's first shot this half. Ugh.
— Andrew Beasley (@BassTunedToRed) September 13, 2017
We've been wasteful really. Simply have to take our chances given the way we defend.
— Jay (@Jay82_LFC) September 13, 2017
And at full-time, supporters felt they had missed out on a victory and weren’t happy…
Liverpool look like they've run out of steam.

“New season, same old tiresome routine…”
– Bee Dizzle on the forums.
FT: Liverpool 2-2 Sevilla.
LFC should have won, but that isn’t a bad or harmful result really *if* Reds beat weaker duo in group.
— Karl Matchett (@karlmatchett) September 13, 2017
We're still capable of bagging another 9 points from 5 matches as 10 should be enough but that was disappointing. #LIVSEV #UCL #LFC #YNWA

“Defence! Defence! Defence! Defence!”
– Vignesh Karthik on Facebook.
Good going forward, poor defensively and always suspect on the counter. New manager, same result.
— James (@_JamesVickers) September 13, 2017
“How anyone can defend the decision to not buy ANYONE for that dismal defence is beyond me.”
– Christian on the forums.
All those chances wasted, should have hammered them!
— Nick Doughlin (@NickDoughlin) September 13, 2017
Harsh lessons to learn quickly in CL. Dropped points against a more experienced side not necessarily a better one.

“Another year of pulling my hair out watching Sunday league defenders.”
– Thomas Cogley on Facebook.
With Maribor and Moscow drawing too, I'm not sure how I feel about that, it's both a wasted opportunity and not a disaster rolled into one
— David (@DavidHickman87) September 13, 2017
Hugely frustrating Reds For all our attacking prowess continue to creak & crumble at the back feel we need 3 to secure victory all the time

“Disappointing performance but not a terrible result.”
– Der Kaiser on the forums.

Needed to have capitalised on a superb first-half. As it is, I'm thoroughly hacked off after that.
— Umarah (@_umara) September 13, 2017
Missed penalty, missed about 6 really good chances, concede from the only 2 shots on target after spectacularly bad defending. Typical LFC
