"I think it was a tough game but we could have won it and we also could have lost it, so at the end of the day a point is good for both teams," said the Spaniard.
"Clearly when you are without Gerrard and after you lose Torres it is always a problem but the team was always working hard and it's a credit to the players.
"It was a pity today because we could have won the game so it could have been better but it's not bad to get a point here.
"We could see that Mascherano and Lucas Leiva are fantastic players with a very good mentality after returning from the Olympic Games. That's the positive thing for us.
"It's positive for us now that there is an international break now and at least we will have time to see if Gerrard and Torres can be back."
