Crouch says the Reds deserved to win yesterday's clash and believes that Liverpool will start turning these draws into wins in forthcoming games.

"We're slightly disappointed with the result because at home you're always looking for three points," said Crouch.

"At the same time, it's no disgrace drawing with Manchester United because they're a big threat. But we're setting our standards high. We feel we could have won, but at least we didn't lose.

"It didn't feel a low key game out there. There were a few tackles flying about. Both sides wanted to win but a draw was fair.

"It's frustrating to have had three 0-0 draws, but we're sure goals will come. On the plus side we're solid at the back and keeping clean sheets.

"We've taken points from good teams and now we'll be looking to take three from those teams we know we should beat so we can close the gap. We'll be looking towards Birmingham now. We can get a result there."
