da apostaganha： Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson was in bullish mood despite seeing his side slip to 19th place in the table after a 2-0 Merseyside derby defeat at Everton.
da realsbet： The Reds had hoped to gain a boost on the field following the recent change in ownership at Anfield, but their city rivals ensured that that did not happen.
However, Hodgson still saw plenty of reasons to be positive for the weeks and months ahead.
He told Sky Sports:"We suffered at the hands of an early onslaught which you invariably do at Goodison, but towards the end of the first half we started to even things out.
"From what I saw I thought we dominated the second half totally.
"I thought the shape of the team was good, the quality of our passing and movement was good.
"We didn't score goals and Everton did, but I refuse to accept that we were in any way outplayed or any way inferior.
"I watched the performance and the second half was as good as I have seen a Liverpool team play under my management, that is for sure.
"I don't think it is a crisis, I thought the way we played today was not the level of a team in the bottom three.
"On the other hand it is six points from eight games and that is a very poor return.
"We need to start winning to climb the table and until we do the word 'crisis' will continue to be bandied around."Subscribe to Football FanCast News Headlines by Email
