Liverpool FC manager Roy Hodgson says he's happy with a point from Utrecht draw

LIVERPOOL manager Roy Hodgson felt his side earned a good point despite a disappointing performance in their goalless Europa League draw in Utrecht.His side were on the back foot for much of the game and their clean sheet owed much to goalkeeper Jose Reina and a goalline clearance from Raul Meireles.Despite leaving captain Steven Gerrard at home, Hodgson was able to name the strongest line-up available to him but they rarely gave any indication they would break a run of four matches in all competitions without victory.Nevertheless, Hodgson was happy to take home a point against a side who had won their last six matches at the Stadion Galgenwaard. 'It was a good point because we knew it was going to be a tough game,' he said.'I thought the problems we had, if we had any at all, and the occasions when they created chances were of our own making.'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.'I thought they crossing was very good and I think you could quite easily see today why Utrecht have such a good home record.'It would have been unfortunate for them had we won the game tonight, I think Utrecht would have felt hard done by.'Having won his first five European matches, four of which were qualifiers, Hodgson found more determined opposition in Holland.
