Houllier criticises lack of nerve

Wolves 1-1 Liverpool

Liverpool boss Gerard Houllier says his side lost their nerve as they let in a late equaliser in the draw with Wolves.

With time ticking away, a row between Paul Ince and Steven Gerrard needed referee Barry Knight to issue a lecture before calm was restored.

Seconds later Liverpool cracked and Kenny Miller scored his second crucial goal in the space of a couple of days.

"You have to stay calm and keep your focus, but we lost our concentration and our nerve," said Houllier.

Houllier also believed that referee Barry Knight wrongly awarded the corner that led to Wolves' equaliser after Bruno Cheyrou had given the Reds the lead in the first half.

"But I cannot blame the referee for the draw, I blame ourselves for not finishing clinically enough," he said.

"We had enough chances to have won that game, Michael Owen, Emile Heskey and Danny Murphy - twice - could have finished it before they scored.

"We should have had two more points from that one."
