While defeat is indeed hard to take, it is tougher when you gave it your best shot and yet end up losing due to the stupidity and bad decision of the match referee. All of us are feeling the same way after today’s match. Wes Brown who along with Evans put up a good show to keep Drogba and company off limits was furious and disappointed at the referee’s decision or rather indecision.
“It’s very hard to take, we played really well,” “I thought we played really well as a team and passed the ball brilliantly. We were the better team and had more chances. We should have done better with our chances, but we definitely didn’t deserve this result and it’s tough because we go home with no points.
“I don’t think the referee played well and we’ve been let down by that goal. The decision to award the free kick was harsh. Then Drogba was holding me and pulling me down, obstructing me from challenging for the ball when the free kick came in the box. The ref didn’t see that either – what can we do about it?”
When asked about his role and partnership with Jonny Evans, he said
“We were fine, I thought we played well as a back four and I thought we limited them to very few chances.
“In that sense, we felt like we did our jobs, which makes it worse when they score a goal like that. It’s disappointing. We just have to keep going and try to put this behind us. We need to carry on playing as we did today, but just add goals to the performance.”
