Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson was not too disappointed with his side's performance, despite the Reds stuttering to a goalless draw away to Utrecht in the Europa League.

Hodgson's men carved out few chances in the Netherlands, but the former Fulham manager was still content with the display.

He commented:"It was a good point because we knew it was going to be a tough game.

"I thought the problems we had, if we had any at all and the occasions when they created chances, were of our own making.

"We created some good chances ourselves and it wasn't a dull 0-0. There was activity at both ends of the field.

"Utrecht did well, they were determined, aggressive and committed, so we knew we had to be at our best defensively to keep them out and fortunately we did.

"I thought they crossing was very good and I think you could quite easily see today why Utrecht have such a good home record.

"It would have been unfortunate for them had we won the game tonight, I think Utrecht would have felt hard done by.

"We are top of the group with four points, then Utrecht and Napoli with two and then Steaua Bucharest with one, so it is already quite close and the way it is panning out it will be close right until the end."Subscribe to Football FanCast News Headlines by Email
