I also think so, Manchester City was a little lucky to be able to get 1 point against Liverpool and also the Liverpool team which did not play with its full squad made the result of this match a draw, maybe if not many of Liverpool's main players were injured then it is very likely that the result would be different.
That's if we look at the performance of the two teams after the match, but overall for teams that are competing fiercely in the fight for the title this season, of course a draw would be very fair for both of them.

Although Liverpool didn't play with all their main players, Liverpool still dominated the match. It is very clear if we take a look at the stats. Liverpool made 19 shots, Man City only could make 10 shots. Liverpool also won the ball possession, it means Liverpool midfielders playing better. If Liverpool plays with full of the main players, the result can be different.

I don't know why Klopp put Salah, Gakpo, and Robertson in the bench. I think these 3 players are the main players of Liverpool and contributed much on every match. However, this may be a tactic applied by Klopp. Well, a draw isn't too bad result. Liverpool still has good chance to win the title in this season. The competition is still far from the end.

Salah may be a physical factor that makes him not be dropped into the starting eleven. after participating in the Africa Cup Salah was injured.. Therefore, Jurgen Klopp did not want to push him too hard to play in the big match, as there was a risk of getting injured again if in a highly intense and pressurized game.
