Paul Robinson turned his attention to getting straight back into Europe after what he described as a 'devastating' loss to Sevilla in the UEFA Cup. Trailing 2-1 from the first leg of the quarter-final, two goals in the opening eight minutes left us trailing 4-1 on aggregate and needing to score four goals. The recovery started at the end of the first half when Dimitar Berbatov hit the post and there was hope when Jermain Defoe and Aaron Lennon scored after 65 and 66 minutes to level it on the night and make it 4-3 on aggregate. But we still needed another two goals and despite creating chances, it wasn't to be and the European adventure was over, a run that started in September and included winning our first eight games. "We were all devastated," said Paul afterwards. "We let in two sloppy goals in the first half and were our own worst enemies, we wanted to start well but did the opposite. "Sevilla showed their quality in the first 20 minutes and we were shellshocked, both the lads and everyone in the stadium. "We made up for it in the second half with an excellent performance but unfortunately, it was too late. It was always an uphill task but we got the first goal, then the second soon after and there was a chance, but it wasn't to be. "The second half was one of the best performance we've put in against a very good team but we can't do anything about it now, all we can do is affect the future." Robbo is determined that future will include European football again - we return to Premiership action at Wigan on Sunday sitting seventh in the table, hot on the heels of Everton. "We have to make sure we get into Europe again," stressed England's number one. "We've had a great time, the fans have had a great time and I have to mention them again, they were unbelievable, especially in the second half. You'll do well to find anywhere in Europe with a better atmosphere than that." ============================================================================== Robbo败阵之後仍然有一些感想 "我们都很泄气" "开局我们早率的丢掉两球 本来我们是想打个好开局的" "前二十分钟塞维利亚展现他们的实力 球场的每个人都被这给吓住了" "下半我们有精采的表现 不过已经太晚了" "下半是我们对上强队表现最佳的一次 但是现在我们唯一能做的是为未来而战" Robbo同时也下定决心要狙击Everton 再冲入欧洲赛场 "我们必须保证我们会再冲入欧洲" "我们和球迷们都有一段美好的回忆 我必须再创" "我们会在欧洲找到比这更好的气氛" -- 恨世间 进球阿~~~ 空笑梦 一阵风声~~~ --
