Roy's Reaction

Last updated : 26 April 2010 By Kevin Markey

"I thought the penalty decision was unbelievably harsh," said Hodgson.

"We had a similar situation with Clint Dempsey and I didn't make too much of a fuss about it.

"But when that penalty decision goes against you, I wondered why I wasn't more upset about the one we should have had.

"It's a very sad way to end the game. We didn't deserve it because it was a very good performance from the team.

"To lose it so late in the game to a debatable penalty is a sad outcome for what was otherwise a very good occasion for us.

"I'm extremely depressed with the way a great result from a great performance was stolen from us in injury time.

"The changes improved us because the players that played in Hamburg would have found it very hard to produce that level of performance.

"We were taking a bit of a chance with players that hadn't played much, but I had faith and confidence in them and they repaid that faith and confidence fully."
