Summary

Perhaps Jurgen Klopp summed it up best when he said: "Both two points dropped and a point gained."The 0-0 draw at Manchester United on Sunday moved Liverpool one point above Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table with 11 games to play.But the hopes of a statement victory over the old enemy was missed as Klopp's side failed to take advantage of the fact that injury-hit United saw three players hobble off before half-time.It's against that backdrop that our latest Post-Game podcast is recorded.As ever, it starts with the definitive verdict of our Liverpool FC correspondent James Pearce, who also provides an update on the condition of Roberto Firmino, before we get Klopp’s thoughts in full with every word of the Reds manager’s press conference.We then hand over to the seven Liverpool supporters who have called into the show – Matt Addison, Alex Watt, Sam Planche, Nathan Davidson, Mark Baker, Ross Strachan and Matt Whitty.
