MOSCOW -- Three thoughts on Liverpool's 1-1 draw at Spartak Moscow in Champions League Group E.
1. Liverpool held on frustrating night
A 1-1 draw in Moscow cannot go down as a bad result for Liverpool but the wins need to start coming soon. Philippe Coutinho swiftly cancelled Fernando's first-half strike in a game of two fine goals, but the disappointment will be that they did not push on against opponents who looked there for the taking. In the end, a glaring late miss from the substitute Daniel Sturridge was the crowning frustration on a night that may yet cost them dear.
