West Brom manager Roy Hodgson delighted with team’s performance despite loss to Everton
West Brom manager Roy Hodgson has gone on to express his delight with his side, despite the team losing to Everton in the Carling Cup.
Despite losing the game in extra time, the manager seems to be more than just delighted with his side, mainly because he feels they produced a performance good enough to win the game.
Following the game, the manager is quoted to have said: "The games goes on for 120 minutes but you’ve got to make sure you take your chances and don’t allow them there’s and once they got back into the game I always thought it was going to be tough.”
The manager then admitted that his side came awfully close to winning the game and progressing through and that in itself is a victory for the team.
"But we came very, very close to holding out and holding out in a way that we could be proud of because weren’t under enormous pressure.”
The manager then claimed that his side was quite lethal during the game and could have easily scored one or two more goals during the game.
"I thought we were quite dangerous ourselves and could’ve got more than the one goal that we got.”
West Brom took the lead in the game against Everton via a penalty. In the 57th minute, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chris-c9006 Brunt stepped up to take the spot kick and sent his effort into the
back of the net, making no mistakes from the spot.
In the 89th minute, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Marouane-Fellaini-c24295 broke West Brom hearts as he netted an equalizing goal for the Toffees.
The ball looped in the air and fell towards the towering midfielder. Fellaini then volleyed the ball with his left foot and set his effort past Fulop and into the goal.
As a result of the goal that was scored by Fellaini, the game was sent into extra time.
In the 103rd minute, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Everton-c13019 to the next round of the tournament.
Drenthe played the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 international on with a delightful pass and Neville latched on the ball and scored a brilliant goal.
Despite West Brom now being out of the Carling Cup, it seems like Hodgson has finally found the balance that he is going to use to get the team to contest for a spot in the top half of the table.
As a result, West Brom might just produce some massive upsets during the course of the current Premier League season.
