    Tom, Rugby: Liverpool needed that comeback performance tonight. It'll remind the players of what they're capable of when they turn up the heat. We've been coasting for a few weeks before this; hopefully this will jolt us back to our best.

    Paul, Luton: How are West Ham in the bottom 3? They showed they are a lot better than their position, hardest game we've had at Anfield, you have to question their attitude, how can they play like that tonight but then put in performances they have this season, suppose everyone ups their game against the mighty reds.

    Lee, Milton Keynes: This game proved how much influence and protection Henderson has on the back four. Without him Liverpool look vulnerable at times.

      Usually there is no jeopardy at this place because you expect Liverpool to win. They were asked a lot of questions tonight, had to go through a lot of gears. It was a brilliant game. Yet again when Liverpool need to win by the odd goal they find a way.

      Liverpool weren't at their best tonight. Compared to last week the performance from West Ham was a stark contrast, they asked questions. Every man put a shift in. Jurgen Klopp is celebrating that like a huge, huge win. It's probably the most they've been pushed all season.

      It's one of those games, it feels like there's going to be another chance. It sounds weird but you wouldn't be surprised if there was another chance.
