Reaction from Pepijn Lijnders and Sam Allardyce after Liverpool and Sunderland drew at Anfield.

SOUNDBITE: (English) Pepijn Lijnders, Liverpool First Team Development Coach

"We have one of the best supporters groups in the world so if they want to make a statement, they have the right to make a statement. No. It didn't. It probably changed the atmosphere in the stadium, but (not our mentality). We have a group who are young with loads of quality and potential. It is up to us to create a style, with Juergen (Klopp), of course as the captain, that all these indviduals and the collective gets further and further and, over time, you realise winning is a logical result of development. So we focus on building our team, constructing our team to become more and more independent of the opposition who are in front of us. And today you see that how we move them and how we opened up spaces with our passes and our movement. That's getting better and better."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Sam Allardyce, Sunderland manager

"A bit of quality can always change a game. Can't it? The old adage: 'Goals change the game'. In the end in the last 15 minutes, it turned into our favour. And it didn't look possible when we went 2-0 down. It is a strange old gam. It never changes. We were brilliant on Tuesday against Manchester City, created more chances than them, played better than they did, did everything right more they did and lose. We play here today. And the only thing we defended well today - other than the first goal. Certainly didn't do very well defending the second goal but then when we scored we had a bit more belief about us and then we scored two quality goals today. And showed that a goal can change the game and don't give up and you never say die and you have got Jermaine Defoe up front then you can get something out of a game. We got something out of the game today. We deserved an awful lot out of the game on Tuesday and didn't get it. We might not have deserved what we got today but we took our chances when they came and we got a very precious point for us. Coming from 2-0 down to get 2-2 in the position we are in is great credit to the players for never, never saying die."
