Life Not So Sunny For Enrique On Other Side Of The Fence

Liverpool defender Jose Enrique was caught in "No Man's Land" to gift Norwich City a point at Anfield on Saturday ... and rob the Scousers of two title-chasing points.

But ... over on the east side of the country ... Newcastle won again to secure their place in the top four, and get three points nearer Man Utd and Chelsea.

Jose Enrique has warned Liverpool cannot afford to throw away points at home if they are intent on regaining their Champions League status.

Liverpool have now dropped six points at home to Norwich, Sunderland and Manchester United in matches they could - and probably should - have won.

A second successive home draw meant Liverpool lost ground on fourth-placed Newcastle.

Jose Enrique: "We all respect Norwich and they did really well.

"But at home against teams like that we have to win if we want to be in the Champions League. I think we lose a lot of points like that.

"I think the best teams in the world and in this league will beat teams like that, with the greatest respect, especially at home because it is more difficult to play them away.

"We've dropped two points here. I hope we don't need these points in the future.

"We deserved three points. We had a lot of chances to score goals and I don't know what happened.

"I think we had some bad luck, it became frustrating for the players who were trying and trying.

"In the second half we dropped a bit and they scored an amazing goal.

"We can't do that. We have to play like we did in the first half."
