Liverpool drew their third league game in a row when they were held 1-1 by Wigan on Wednesday. Rafa Benitez was frustrated by the way his team were unable to kill the game off.

"We are very disappointed because we have lost two points," said the boss in his post match press conference.

"We were much better in the first half and had control of the game, but we didn't kill it off, which was the problem.

"I was talking with my players about what to do on the pitch, but there are always things you cannot control in a game like this.

"The players were not nervous - they were working hard and played well in the first half. But things changed in the second half.

"It was a crazy game in the second half, and when it's a crazy game you cannot control things. Our last three games have something in common, which I don't like.

"When you are at the top of the table, you know that every single game is important. You have to be disappointed when you lose two points, but we have an important game on Sunday, and if we can play like we played in the first half then we can beat anyone."
