Draw disappoints Rafa

The Reds could only draw against Middlesbrough at the Riverside Stadium yesterday despite piling on the pressure for the final 20 minutes. The failure to find a winner along with the mediocre first 70 minutes left Rafa Benitez disappointed.

"We're disappointed because we started well and had a good chance with Gerrard, but after that we weren't controlling things", he said.

"The second half was different because we were attacking and creating chances to score. The attitude of the players was really good and you can see that they were trying to win, but when you're trying to close the gap you have to be disappointed."
