Benitez: Home form letting Liverpool down

Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez is growing frustrated with the amount of points his side are losing at home. Benitez's side have dropped 10 points at home this season, drawing to the likes of Stoke, Fulham, West Ham and Hull.

"We are disappointed and frustrated at the amount of points we have dropped at home this season," he said.

"Generally this season we are much better in terms of points won, and especially away from home we are very strong.

"But at home we are facing games that will eventually be a massive difference for us. I have tried to be positive with the players.

"I told them that back in August when we started, everyone was asking where we would be come January.

"And now we find ourselves level on points with Manchester United at the top of the table now that January is here.

"We have to be positive. This is a good position. But we are disappointed because we are losing some home points we could win.

"But in England you say the bottle is half-full or half-empty. We feel it is half-full."
