Rafael Benitez has refused to blame goalkeeper Jerzy Dudek for Portsmouth's late equaliser at Anfield.
Liverpool appeared to be heading towards three points thanks to Steven Gerrard's second half free kick, but as the game entered stoppage time Dudek palmed away a left wing cross and Pompey striker Lomana Lua Lua was on hand to save a point for the visitors.
The Reds' boss was understandably disappointed with the manner of the late goal, but he was equally frustrated with the amount of chances his side missed over the 90 minutes.
Benitez said: "I think their player tried to cross the ball but in the end it was a shot. The goalkeeper did his best to get it away and was unlucky. I haven't seen it on the video but I want to watch it again.
"The important thing tonight was that we didn't take the chances. We had enough to win the game convincingly but we only scored one. In football you can never feel safe when you have only scored one.
"Of course it is a disappointing result and people will say we have lost two points. But the table will say we have gained one, so it could have been worse."
Considering that we've played an extreme amount of games in a short period of time, yes it could had been worse. Despite the fact that we looked like we were going to win, one point is always better than none. We climb to sixth place and face an inconsistant Newcastle next week who have similar problems as we do.
They looked like they were going to beat Portsmouth this weekend as well but Pompey equalized late in the game like they did today. We need to go on a good run of results in order to climb further up the table. There is still a long way to go and everything that could go bad has happened to us now we must pick our selves up and walk on.
