One Point Is Two Dropped

29 Nov 2006 Liverpool 0-0 Portsmouth - EPL

BBC - The Reds were allowed to dominate play as an injury-ravaged Pompey barricaded their goal behind the massed ranks of a spirited and stubborn defence. A low Steven Gerrard cross caused some desperate defending for the visitors but keeper David James saved Luis Garcia's shot to avert the danger. Gerrard went close with a late diving header but found the side-netting.

Cara: "We're disappointed with the result and the performance. When you look at how the other results went last night, we feel even worse today. Aston Villa, Arsenal, Bolton and Everton all losing gave us a big opportunity which we haven't taken.
"Our home record has been fantastic for well over a year, so sometimes you've just got to accept there are going to be games like this. Really, we're paying a bit for the points we've dropped away from home. When you don't win enough away games you're putting yourself under far more pressure to keep winning at home. We're now at that stage of the season where we've got to start winning away, starting at Wigan this weekend, but I know Paul Jewell will have his side right up for that one and it will be another very difficult game."
