# Four Findings: Liverpool 2-2 Sunderland

Amidst a stream of supporters heading for the exits in protest for the club’s new ticket strategy, Liverpool surrendered a two-goal lead, allowing Sunderland to snatch a 2-2 draw at Anfield. While there are claims that the exodus did not distract the players, it certainly coincided with their capitulation.

It took nearly 60 minutes of droll deja vu before Liverpool finally found the edge to take the lead. Yet, it took less than 10 minutes for them to squander all the hard work that put them in control.

In fact, Sunderland stuck with the pack-it-in-and-be-patient prescription that continues to serve Reds’ opponents so well. Liverpool remain full of enough errors to make almost no lead safe and the league knows it. Until they find a way to put that notion to rest, they will be served repeated helpings of the same medicine.

Here are four findings from the match.
