Summary

Five points clear at the top at the start of February?Liverpool supporters would have snapped your hand off for that scenario before a ball was kicked in anger.And that's exactly the position the Reds find themselves in after drawing 1-1 at home to Leicester City.However, there was no escaping the feeling that it was a missed opportunity to truly take advantage of Manchester City’s shock defeat at Newcastle the night before.Saying that, Liverpool weren’t helped by the conditions, the referee and a strangely nervous and makeshift back four.And you also have to take into consideration that Leicester are no mugs, which is reflected in the fact that they have become the first team from outside of the top five to take points off the Reds this season.So what did James Pearce make of it?Our Liverpool FC correspondent kicks off the Post-Game podcast with his definitive verdict on the night's action before we hear from the six Reds supporters who have phoned into the show – Simon Donnelly, Matt Whitty, Matt Addison, Ross Strachan, Mark Baker and Peter Lally.Before the podcast ends with the full audio from Jurgen Klopp’s post-match press conference.
