The dust has settled on the Merseyside derby and, while it still feels like two points dropped, the Liverpool fans who make up the latest View from the Kop podcast panel are remaining upbeat.
And it’s a new-look panel with regular Paul Philbin join by two guests who were visiting the Liverpool ECHO office for the day – Nigel Railton, who is the CEO of Camelot, the operators of the National Lottery, and local lad Ben Woods, who 15 years ago last week scooped £2.5m on the Lotto.
As both are big Reds supporters, we invited them on to the pod, and after Ben talks about the night that changed his life, and why Anfield was his only destination to go public on his huge win, they join Paul in discussing where the stalemate with Everton leaves Jurgen Klopp’s side.
Talk then turns to the respective run-ins of Liverpool and Manchester City – with Nigel pinpointing one game in particular as being crucial – and why whoever finishes second could well be creating history.
Also up for debate is whether it’s better to be chased or be the chaser and whether City are as bulletproof as some would have you believe.
The visit of Burnley to Anfield on Sunday is previewed as is the trip to Munich to take on Bayern in the Champions League on Wednesday. Paul, who will be there as part of the travelling Kop, reckons it is a pivotal one for the Reds manager.
Liverpool’s and City’s injury problems are also on the agenda, which in turn leads to the talk of the role Alex-Oxlade Chamberlain could play between now and the end of the season.

Welcome to the Academy Show, hosted by Paul Wheelock, and featuring our Liverpool FC reporter Ian Doyle, and Post-Game and View from the Kop regular Matt Addison.
Matt is also a regular down at the Academy in Kirkby and he joins Paul to talk the big win for the Under 18s that maintained their lead at the top of the U18 Premier League North table – and set up a huge week that will see their fight for glory on three fronts continue.
They also talk the incredible scoring feats of Bobby Duncan and Paul Glatzel, the emergence of Fidel O’Rourke, and the next player Matt believes has the potential to break into Jurgen Klopp’s first-team squad.
Klopp was at Anfield on Monday night to watch Liverpool Under-23s lose the mini-derby 2-0 to Everton.
Ian Doyle was also there – and he gives us the lowdown on a bad night for Neil Critchley’s side.
One of the positives to come out of the game was that Ben Woodburn came through 90 minutes unscathed.
Ian talks Woodburn’s future before going on to explain why Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain didn’t feature as first expected.
The good news is that Chamberlain is set to play for the U23s at Derby County on Friday afternoon.
But as Ian also explains, the Reds are going to have a little longer yet to get Rhian Brewster back.

It's the post-Merseyside derby Blood Red podcast and, while Everton may have celebrated a draw in their 'World Cup final', the mood of our panel is downbeat.
There's no suggesting that Liverpool have 'bottled' their title chances, but equally there is no doubting that James Pearce, Paul Gorst and Theo Squires, who join host Joe Rimmer for your Monday must-listen, think it was very much two points dropped at Goodison Park.
The quartet also reckon Jurgen Klopp was proved right about Everton but wonder why his Reds side could not rise to the challenge, particularly in light of their storming midweek performance against Watford.
James goes as far to say it felt like a defeat and, along with Theo, feels he has to sit on the fence when he is asked the big question by Joe. Gorsty, though, is remaining strong.
Mohamed Salah was unable to do that in front of goal on Sunday and, while he is being judged by the ridiculously high standards he set himself last season, can what happened versus Everton be put down as a bad day at the office? Or is it something more than that?
James, Gorsty and Theo discuss that before paying tribute to the majestic Virgil van Dijk.
The Dutch defender's display against the Blues was absolutely spot-on. But what of Klopp's substitutions? And what does it say that the Reds boss refused to call on either Naby Keita or Xherdan Shaqiri from the bench?
Factors beyond Liverpool's control are also debated before the podcast ends on a big positive. For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy

So, a 19th straight match without defeat to Everton.
But there was no getting away from the fact that the 0-0 draw at Goodison Park felt like two points dropped in the context of a title race that Manchester City lead once again.
Or is that too negative a take on what was always expected to be Liverpool’s toughest remaining away assignment?
To try to answer that question, and more besides, we get the thoughts from the press box, the dugout and the stands in the Post-Game podcast.
It’s a podcast that starts with the verdict of our Liverpool FC correspondent James Pearce, continues with every word of Jurgen Klopp’s press conference after the match, and then ends with the opinion of the nine Reds supporters who called into the show – Mark Baker, Matt Whitty, Sam Planche, Matt Addison, Nathan Davidson, Ross Strachan, Alex Watt, Peter Lally and Owen Thomas.
