Benitez said: "I prefer to look at the positives. We have kept four clean sheets in a row and that is a positive thing. Okay we need to score goals but that will come.
"We wanted to win the game but they are a very good team and both teams didn't create many chances. Last season we lost twice to this team so we have got a point this time.
"I thought Peter Crouch did a good job for us in attack. We tried to get the ball to him early and then play off the first or second ball but they are a good team with good players and sometimes it's not easy to break them down. We tried to play wide and on the counter attack but as I said they are a good team and you need to be at your best and play really well to beat them."
