While we definitely should of won tonight I'd sooner lose the title on points rather than goal difference , plus on the bright side we're gonna finish about 20 points clear of United
Congrats to City
Liverpool have made it easy for Man City. A win tonight for liverpool would have put some pressure on Man City but drawing has taken pressure off them. Brendan Rodgers has made great progress this season but he has got to be more streetwise like Tony Pulis and, although I hate to say it, Jose Mourinho. He should have told the team to tighten up when they were cruising at 3-0 and not give anything away. It was unlikely they would have overtaken Man City on goal difference so winning should have been priority. A leader in defence to replace Carragher is needed too otherwise teams in Champions league will have a field day.
Terrific fightback from Palace so first of all take nothing away from them, but I totally agree that Rodgers should have shut the back door. You could see the capitulation coming - they were trying to outscore the goal difference but its no use if they can't win the game in the first place. First priority should have been to get the win on the board and at least put pressure on City going in to the final week.
Credit where its due to Liverpool though, the first aim of the season was champions league qualification and you've achieved that easily. Also to be in with a shout of the title from the opening day to the last is excellent considering the seventh place finish last time. They've got plenty of firepower, now an experienced leading defender is a must and will be key for both Premier League and Champions League footy next season.

I hope you savour the moment coz it ain't gonna happen again
Why was Suarez smiling when palace's 3rd goal went in? No passion, IMO
All the investment in the summer needs to go on the defence, and if Brendan wont by a British CB then atleast make sure he can speak English, Sakho can speak some but struggles here and there

I wouldn't be so sure about that just because you get a new boss doesn't mean you'll start doing well just look at Sunderland game.

Because he couldn't believe what was going on not because of a lack of passion , If he didn't have passion he wouldn't of been in tears at the end .

Disbelief. The smile was an instinctive and genuine reaction. The tears at the end were self-pity. Suarez is like Muttley; he wants an individual medal to pin to his chest before anything else. If that doesn't come with Liverpool, he'll be off to whichever club will pay the most and offer the best chance of the personal glory within collective glory he wants.
I hope that Fabio Borini is brought back into the squad next season as he's done well for Sunderland being versatile and popping up with important goals for them and could do a job coming off the bench for us .
