Red Roy happy with draw
(01-10-2010) Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson declared himself satisfied with the club’s 0-0 draw with Dutch side Utrecht in the Europa League on Thursday. The Reds were on the back foot for much of the game at the Stadion Galgenwaard and owed much to goalkeeper Jose Reina and a goal line clearance from Raul Meireles. "It was a good point because we knew it was going to be a tough game," said Hodgson afterwards. "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.” The result leaves Liverpool top of their group with four points followed by Utrecht and Napoli with two. Steaua Bucharest are last with one point.
