Hodgson: The last week has been a whirlwind

Roy Hodgson says preparations for his final match as Palace manager have not been easy, as he takes his side to Anfield on the final day of the season.

“I’m not like I normally am before a game, I must say,” he admitted in his pre-match interview. “The game on Wednesday night and this one have been really hard for me to prepare myself mentally.

“We try and prepare the players of course, but for myself it’s been such a whirlwind to try and process all the nice things people have said, and to suddenly realise that the day where I won’t be coaching a football team will be here.
