Brendan Rodgers acknowledged that Liverpool were disappointed not to have taken all three points against Arsenal, though they performed well and matched their opponents punch for punch.
The Reds travelled to the Emirates Stadium having taken only win in the capital over Arsenal since they moved from their old ground, Highbury, in 2006.
But Rodgers' charges were by far the better team in the first-half, as they took the game to the Gunners, twice striking Petr Cech's woodwork and forcing the goalkeeper into a tremendous close-range save after Christian Benteke's effort.
However, after the break, Arsene Wenger's side got themselves back into the game and carved out a couple of opportunities, but they could not put one past Simon Mignolet as the two sides saw out what proved to be an enthralling goalless draw.
Reds could have come away with the win, says boss
Rodgers, speaking after the game, said Liverpool "definitely could have had all three points" but insisted that he was "very happy" with how his side performed.
He referred to the abundance of chances created in the first period, and said they "should have been in front" but added that he was equally as pleased after the interval as his side defended the pressure "very well" and still "looked a threat" going forward.
It was yet another solid performance across the board, as the Reds kept a third clean sheet in three opening games for the second time in four seasons under the Northern Irishman.
Rodgers insisted that Liverpool's performance level is "growing all the time" and lauded their defensive organisation against a "top-class team."
The manager said that the "overriding feeling" is one of positivity - as they took a well-deserved point away plus a clean sheet, and said they must move on to the next game and carry on their momentum into that.
Rodgers hails defensive organisation
Yet again, Liverpool looked organised and rigid at the back - as the defence which had kept back-to-back shut-outs beforehand remained unchanged.
They certainly repaid the manager's faith in them, as summer signings Joe Gomez and Nathaniel Clyne continued to impress, whilst Dejan Lovren and Martin Skrtel looked in-sync in the centre.
Rodgers said he likes his team to focus "very much on the football element" - something he has emphasised since his early years as a youth coach.
He added that his philosophy is "very much about the intensity" in how the Reds press and how cohesive they are as a unit. He admitted that focus was lost a little in the disappointments of last season, but that the new signings brought in over the last few months have helped ensure their defence is "super organised."
Rodgers, who was often criticised for his side being weak defensively over the past few seasons, added that renewed defensive stability will "be the platform" for Liverpool's creative talents going forward.
Rodgers says Benteke did all he could but "fantastic" Cech denied him
The visitors, particularly in the first-half, looked just as co-ordinated going forward - as Philippe Coutinho led the charge and Roberto Firmino troubled in his full debut.
They could, and should, have opened the scoring just a few minutes before half-time as Benteke failed to beat Cech from point blank range.
But though the miss marred an otherwise strong showing from the Belgian, the Liverpool boss was keen to focus on the excellence of the Arsenal shot-stopper rather than his striker's sub-par finish.
He hailed the "great ball" in from Firmino, but said it was a "great save" from Cech - who he continued had a period of "about 10-15 minutes where he made some fantastic saves."
Rodgers pleaded that Benteke had done "everything he possibly could" as he stretched to make contact, but that it was a good save to deny him.
He also reserved praise for his own goalkeeper, saying that Mignolet "had to make a couple of good saves for us" - though neither side could find a breakthrough.
