Post-Game: The lowdown as Liverpool and Manchester City cancel each other out in top-of-table clash

Summary: Let's face it, that didn't live up to the hype, did it? But this afternoon’s 0-0 draw with Manchester City at Anfield does mean that Liverpool remain unbeaten after the first eight games of the season - and does mean they will go into yet another international break level on points at the top with the defending champions and an increasingly impressive Chelsea side. That would not have been the case had Riyad Mahrez not skied over a terrible late penalty for City. So, given that, was it a good point for the Reds? Or was it opportunity to inflict a first league defeat of the season on a City team that certainly paid Jurgen Klopp’s men a great deal of respect with the way they set-up? The Post-Game podcast, as always, starts with the thoughts of the Liverpool Echo’s Liverpool FC correspondent James Pearce and ends with audio from Reds boss Klopp’s press conference. In between you will hear from Liverpool fans Matt Whitty, Alex Watt, Ross Strachan and Mark Baker, an academy coach at a Championship football club who offers some interesting tactical insight.
