Rafael Benitez reflected on Liverpool's Champions League draw with Atletico Madrid and admitted he felt it was two points dropped.
The Reds boss was disappointed to see his side concede an equaliser seven minutes from time after Robbie Keane had given them a first-half lead and believes they did not get the reward that their performance deserved.

"We had control of the game in the first half and part of the second," he told reporters at the Vicente Calderon Stadium.

"I'm disappointed because we had chances to kill the game. It's a problem when you have a situation on 83 minutes and you make a mistake. You pay for it.

"For me we had plenty of situations in and around the box and should have made more of them. The entrance of Aguero gave more depth to their play and we defended worse.

"If you'd said to me before game that we'd have seven points at the end of it then it would be good. But after leading until the 83rd minute, and when you consider the chances we had, then I think we have lost two points."

Benitez saw his side surrender the advantage in the second-half after Steven Gerrard, Xabi Alonso and goalscorer Robbie Keane were all substituted with knocks.

The Reds boss admitted it was not his intention to withdraw the trio and is hopeful that the precautionary measure will ensure the players are fit for Chelsea on Sunday.

"The three players had some problems," he said. "Keane and Gerrard and Alonso were tired, so we were trying to use players with fresh legs. We were trying to protect all of them by substituting them.

"I don't think they are serious. We will have to wait and see tomorrow.

"It was a little bit of a muscle problem for Robbie. Gerrard is okay. He was really tired and Alonso has a knock on his knee.

"We need to check with Keane. He will see the doctor."

Benitez was also keen to quash any suggestions the Reds missed Fernando Torres and felt it was pointless to speculate whether he would have made an impact against his former club.

"No, I think it wasn't the case," he added, when asked if Torres' absence had cost the Reds victory. "Obviously he's a special player and it could have been a different match. But he was unavailable so it doesn't matter."

Can't wait for the Chelsea game, would have loved to have had Torres fit for it though.

QPR boss Iain Dowie has been sacked today after just 15 games in charge.

The 43-year-old, who took the reins from Luigi de Canio when he left in May, leaves the squad ninth in the table.

Veteran winger Gareth Ainsworth has been placed in caretaker charge ahead of Saturday’s trip to Reading.

A club statement read: “The board of Queens Park Rangers Football Club has terminated the contract of manager Iain Dowie with immediate effect.”

Dowie took charge of just 15 games in all competitions - 12 in the Coca-Cola Championship season - exactly the same number as during his ill-fated spell at Charlton two years ago.

The former Northern Ireland striker led Rangers into the last 16 of the Carling Cup, where they are set to face a trip to Manchester United after knocking out Aston Villa in the third round.

His last game in charge was a goalless draw at Swansea on Tuesday night, where the opposition played for more than an hour with defender Alan Tate in goal.

Rangers were among the pre-season promotion favourites, bankrolled as they are by Formula One bosses Flavio Briatore and Bernie Ecclestone and Indian billionaire Lakshmi Mittal.

But their only victory in their last six games was a nervy 2-1 success over bottom side Nottingham Forest.

Dowie was also reported to have clashed with Briatore over the club’s transfer policy earlier this season, with the likes of 34-year-old ex-Italy midfielder Damiano Tommasi brought in on a one-year contract but yet to make an appearance.

Briatore’s contacts are also thought to have secured the signings of Daniel Parejo, on loan from Real Madrid, and Emmanuel Ledesma from Fiorentina, but neither have been in the starting line-up recently.

Former Inter Milan boss Roberto Mancini has already been linked with the role.

We drew 2-2 with Horsham in the FA Cup, terrible performance from us.The only tactic seemed to be just to boot it forward and hope one of the strikers got on the end of it, might aswell have not even had a midfield out.

I thought Horsham's number 7, Jacob Mingle looked a good player, far better than any of our midfidlers today

woooooooooooo drunk drunk drunk xxxxxxxxxxxx

Hull are doing what Reading and Bolton done in there first year up, have a great first half and then start to slip. Glad I've got Geovanni in my fantasy team thing though, he's been great this season.

Dan_ · 25-10-2008, 05:24 PM

Next season will be the real test for Hull if they stay up, teams get figured out in their second season if the quality isn't there.I'm considering putting one of Hull's defenders in my fantasy team.
