Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp was delighted with his team's second half performance against Manchester City.
The Reds endured a difficult first half, with City dominating possession and creating the better chances, despite the scoreline being 0-0 at the interval.
Despite conceding twice in the second period, Klopp admits they played far better football in that phase of the game, and felt a draw was ultimately a fair result.
He told the club's website post-game: "Quite an exciting game, with two obviously completely different halves. Thank God that there were two halves today because the first half was obviously exactly like you shouldn't do it against City and the second half was exactly like you should do it against City.
"Four goals obviously happened in the second half but in the first half I can't remember a chance from us, if I'm right. So I was really happy about the half-time whistle so that we could adjust a few things. And actually we didn't change anything, we just told the boys again what we actually wanted to or should have said already in the first half.
"Things like this happen against a team like City with the dominance they can put on the pitch. When you are then a little bit passive without the ball, when they pass through your lines, you never can really get in the challenges."
"Our biggest problem in the first half was we didn't play football, that doesn't help. You meet for a football game, people come into a stadium and you don't play football – that sounds wrong and is wrong.
"So we needed to start playing football in the second half, we did that immediately. I think that was obvious for everybody; all of a sudden City had to run a lot, had to defend, completely different to the first half because we now played really good.
"If we would have played only the second half, I actually would have liked to win the game. But together with the first half I am not that cheeky, I think the point is fine."
