Johnson admits Liverpool home form threatening top four hopes

Liverpool fullback Glen Johnson admits their home form could wreck their top four ambitions.

The Reds are still only four points off Chelsea, who currently occupy the final Champions League qualification spot, but that only highlights how costly 16 dropped points at home have been.

"When you hear stats like that it doesn't sound good at all but I don't think performances have reflected that," said Johnson.

"We have been playing better than the eight draws out of 12 shows but that is football. It is always frustrating when you don't win and you play as well as that (against Spurs).

"They are a fantastic team and we did enough to win the game but it was one of those days. They had pace on the break and so they set up deep and tried to catch us on the counter and that is difficult to break down at times.

"We had a couple of decent chances and sometimes in games like that you only get one and you take it and win it 1-0."
