More Points Dropped At Anfield

Liverpool went one point clear at the top of the league on Monday evening after a 0-0 draw at home to West Ham.

While we managed to avoid defeat, we failed to take full advantage of Chelsea's 2-1 defeat at home to Arsenal the day before.We had several chances to win and were constantly putting pressure on the West Ham defence, just like we did in the 0-0 draw to Fulham last week, but couldn't find a breakthrough.

West Ham could have even stole all three points in the final few minutes as former red Craig Bellamy had a long range effort hit the post.

Liverpool have now drawn three home games 0-0 against Stoke City, Fulham and West Ham. If we are to continue in our quest for the Premier League this season, then these are the games that we should be winning, especially as the busy Christmas period approaches.We can't afford to let Chelsea back in to the race at any other time they may fail to win, as it is unlikely they would do so if we were to lose.

We now face Blackburn at the weekend who are on a tough run themselves under new manager Paul Ince and have not won in 8 games. After losing to Manchester United in the cup midweek, they will be looking for the chance to get back on track, but we must show that the last two games have just been a blip and that we ourselves are also back on track.
