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

"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.

"They have a good spirit in their team, work very hard and made life very difficult for us today. It's disappointing we didn't finish the job.

"Hull played quite an open game, they came to attack, which maybe Stoke and Fulham didn't do.

"They showed great work ethic to keep it at 2-2."

But the defender believes Liverpool can't dwell on their recent profligacy at home, with the next match away at fifth-placed Arsenal.

"We're only in December but it's very close," said Hyypia. "There's a long way to go. Of course things could be better, we could have more points than we do, but we just have to live with it.

"We have to live with what we have now. We have to concentrate on the next game and try to win that. We can't change the past, but maybe we can learn from what we did wrong.

"It will be a tough game against Arsenal but we'll go to win and hopefully come out with three points."
