Hodgson evaluates Everton game - explaining half-time instructions

Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson cut a frustrated figure in his post-match press conference after Crystal Palace's defeat against Everton today, suggesting his side played better than the 3-1 scoreline suggests.

Speaking after the match, he broke down the clash from his perspective in the dugout. Here's what he had to say: "I thought we played well for large parts. Not right at the start or the late stage.

"For 20/25 minutes in the first-half there was not much going on at all for either side. At the end of that half, the last 20 minutes of that half, we started to play much better, pass much better and started to look like we might score a goal.
