Hodgson sees things differently to Ferguson

Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson has dismissed Manchester United counterpart Sir Alex Ferguson's assertion that their 3-2 defeat at Old Trafford is a "catastrophe" for the Merseysiders. He did accept, however, that any potential bid for a Barclays Premier League title was already looking remote. Having clawed their way back from 2-0 down the visitors conceded a third time six minutes from the end as Dimitar Berbatov completed his hat-trick. "We have had a remarkably hard start to the season," said the Liverpool boss. "Our performance was clearly a lot better than our last two Barclays Premier League performances (a 1-0 win over West Brom and a goalless draw at Birmingham). "We were playing against a top team and we can take a lot of credit from the way we went about our business and got ourselves back into the game. "To use words like catastrophe is a bit strong unless you are talking about winning the league."
