This is the Blood Red Podcast from the Liverpool Echo, giving you the inside track on all the big talking points from Anfield.

Hello everybody, football is back and this is the Analyzing Anfield Podcast.

I'm Christian Walsh and with me as always is Josh Williams.

We're speaking on Tuesday morning about 48 hours a little bit less after Liverpool's first game of the season,

the curtain raiser against Manchester City at Wembley Stadium.

We all know the score, we all know what happens, we all saw it, I'm sure, before we get into

the nitty gritty Josh, how did you find the game and ultimately I suppose one of the

big questions is were you above us? I found the game a bit weird to be honest it honest it was very much it was a bit like a friendly but

cross over to a competitive game I think yeah it was a weird watch I think I'd have cared

if it was one won for everyone said

I think I was the opposite to what Clop said I think Clop said the opposite

didn't he what they clops at in his press I think he says nobody cares if you

win and everybody cares you lose.

It was the way around.

If we'd have won, I'd have been able to get the trophy sound.

But if, because we didn't, I'd just try and say, just immediately send it off, didn't. I haven't seen him lift it over yet

Neither the many man's sissy fans either to be honest they were they were all down the

m25 yeah yeah but now it's it was it was just to be honest, but we'll get into it anyway

Yeah, I suppose I suppose just starting in general how much can you deduce from this sort of game

Is it a friendly is is it not a friendly?

Clop was sort of positioning it as a friendly, but it didn't really feel like a friendly

especially in the second half, the incense was off the charts.
