It was a case of two points dropped as Saints drew at Anfield when they really could of and should have taken the game by the scruff of the neck and won.
It took a late goal from Sadio Mane to rescue a point, but the reality was that although Liverpool had the bulk of the possession and chances, there was little class present in their play and Saints should have punished them for it.
Yes the ome side may have had 60% possession, but they did little with it and Saints looked comfortable on the ball throughout but got caught with a sucker punch just as they looked the team most likely to win it and had to chase the game.
It was good to see Jordy Clasie start a Premier game for the first time and he started to show why Ronald Koeman rates his so highly, getting in a great 75 minutes of hard work before coming off with the satisfaction of a job well done, indeed the fact that it was Juanmi who replaced him showed that Ronald Koeman was looking to win the game from there.
Sadly Saints let in Benteke for what looked like might be a sucker punch, but Saints are made of sterner stuff these days and with Gaston Ramirez brought on to boost the attacking options they netted a well deserved equaliser with Sadio Mane making sure that Gaston Ramirez's header went in although wit Mignolet stranded it would have gone in anyway.
Mane had to take one for the team in injury time though and no one could argue that either of his two yellow cards was harsh,
Saints now are unbeaten away from home in the Premier League and i would hazard a guess we have never gone into November of a season with that record intact before.
Perhaps the only downside of this game was that Saints didn't seem to have the confidence to really take the game by the scruff of the neck and put Liverpool to the sword, if we had of done then we could really have ruined Jurgen Klopp's first home Premier game at Anfield, but once we find that cutting edge then this team could surpass even last year.
Although it was disappointing that it wasn't three points, with that in itself being an indication of ow far Saints have come under Koeman in such a short time, the point sees us nicely poised in 8th and with Clasie now available we will surely be looking to push on into the top six although that feat might have to wait a week or two with Spurs unlikely to lose against Villa at home next week to allow us to overtake them on goal difference should we beat Bournemouth on Sunday.
