Toure’s inexplicable pass across the face of Liverpool’s penalty area on 67 minutes was pounced upon by Victor Anichebe, who confidently took his gift and equalised for the Baggies.
Whatever way you look at it, Toure’s error cost Liverpool the three points. It may not have been a pretty victory in the making, but an away trip to the Hawthorns in early February isn’t going to be easy for any Premier League side.
Moaning Gets You Nowhere
Full time and the points being shared was met with disappointment, frustration and some anger by the traveling fans, yet Rodgers, with his calm and collected nature, chose not to dwell on the mistake which cost his side the win.
Speaking to Sky Sports after the game, Rodgers defended his side’s decision to build play from the back even though, coupled with West Brom pressure, it contributed to Toure’s costly mistake.
We like to build the game and construct play from behind and sometimes it will cost you and today was unfortunately one of those days.
Kolo Toure has been brilliant since he's been here. He's been a real leader, an outstanding professional and, unfortunately, it was a mistake.
It’s not the first mistake Toure has made in his career, and it probably won’t be the last either. At 32 years old, the Ivorian international knows what he did wrong and what he can do to avoid making the same mistake again.
He doesn’t need Rodgers to explain that to him.
Kudos for Toure accepting blame for the mistake and to Rodgers for not having a go at him. LFC need to just nuckle down and get 4th spot.
