Sami Hyypia can’t explain Liverpool's lost points in Anfield matches

DEFENDER Sami Hyypia is at a loss to explain Liverpool’s recent poor home form.

Saturday’s 2-2 draw with Hull continued a run of three stalemates at Anfield which have hit Rafael Benitez’s side’s title challenge.

And after the draw, the big Finn said: “We tried to do everything we could to win, but today it didn’t work.

“Of course it’s disappointing to draw at home again but we need to look forward. If we knew what it was we’d address it and we wouldn’t have had three draws.

“I didn’t feel personally that there was extra pressure on us or anything. We’re top of the table and should enjoy it and be confident of doing our jobs.”

Hyypia was impressed with Phil Brown’s newly-promoted Hull, the surprise package of the Premier League so far this season. And he was astounded with their attacking endeavour, after both Stoke and Fulham defended for their lives to gain 0-0 draws at Anfield.

“Hull showed why they are so high in the table,” said Hyypia.
