LIVERPOOL boss Brendan Rodgers refused to blame Kolo Toure for his error
which allowed West Brom to secure a point at the Hawthorns this
lunchtime.
Kolo Toure's error midway through the second-half gifted West Brom a point
Despite the defender's wretched error, Rodgers insisted Toure would not be held responsible for the result.
"I've never criticised my players for trying to play football," Rodgers said.
"Kolo probably shouldn't have received the ball under pressure, and a pass can be misplaced.
"We look to build our game from behind and that has won us many games this season, our ability to construct the game from behind.
"Sometimes it will cost you. Today was unfortunately one of those days.
"Kolo Toure has been brilliant for me, a real leader and an outstanding professional and unfortunately it was that mistake, but there's no blame on him."
