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

Hello and welcome back to the Blood Red Podcast from the Liverpool Echo. I'm your host

Matt Addison with Ian Doyle, Sean Bradbury and Theo Squires alongside me to look

back at Sunday's two old draw with Manchester City and assess how things are shaping up in

the premium title race so far.

Firstly though, Dooley, it was a really good second half from Liverpool yesterday,

maybe less so in the first, but what did we learn from the game overall do you think?

I think Liverpool learned that if you just let Man City play there's a very good

chance they might play quite well against you.

That Liverpool were absolutely atrocious in the first half between about the 16th minutes of the 45th minute.

And I think, you know, the players have come out afterwards said the same thing.

Yugglob said the same thing.

You know, Pep said the same thing as well.

I think everybody was there, anybody who's watching just thought it. I mean, Liverpool were incredibly lucky to to have nil at half time and also that Man City happened to have nil as well because I know they didn't create loads of chances but there was obviously

Allison made one good safe and fold and he made another one where he came off his line you know good

positioning and I think it was to was that embroider put a header over that was in the first time as well wasn't it so they were three you know

Certainly two good chances, but overall

Liverpool just were very very, you know, they just kind of stood off them and they got the tactics all wrong and, you know,

Yurkenclop said it out, I said after the game, he said at half time, we've done everything that you're not supposed to do against

Manchester City, which in a way doesn't the line that, you know, that for Liverpool to then come back from that and produce the second half that we did, I'm sure we'll get on to the goals a little bit later on, was, you know, that shows they got the mental strength and you also got to bear in mind that what was it

seventh game in 22 days I mean I made a note to the fact that in just at the start of injury time

for Bino and Anderson were both like on the knees.
