Good evening everyone and welcome to the Post game podcast with Patrick Smith after Liverpool were held to a 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge by Chelsea in an absolute thriller of a match.
The Reds burst into an early 2-0 lead thanks to goals from the imminently departing duo of Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah, who will now jet off to AFCON for the remainder of the month.
Pep Lijnders stepped in to replace the absent Jurgen Klopp, but a familiar trend of the Reds this season was exposed once again, as Chelsea managed to force in two goals just before half-time meaning Liverpool surrendered their commanding position into a half-time draw.
The Second Half was nowhere near as exciting as the first, and both sides had to settle for a point each, meaning the only winner of the outcome was Manchester City who extend their lead at the top of the table.
Joining me on the show today will be the Liverpool ECHO’s Paul Gorst, substitute manager Pep Lijnders in his Post Match Press Conference, and a quintet of Reds fans from around the world with their thoughts.
