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敗陣之後仍然有一些感想 "我們都很洩氣" "開局我們早率的丟掉兩球 本來我們是想打個好開局的" "前二十分鐘塞維利亞展現他們的實力 球場的每個人都被這給嚇住了" "下半我們有精采的表現 不過已經太晚了" "下半是我們對上強隊表現最佳的一次 但是現在我們唯一能做的是為未來而戰" Robbo同時也下定決心要狙擊Everton 再衝入歐洲賽場 "我們必須保證我們會再衝入歐洲" "我們和球迷們都有一段美好的回憶 我必須再創" "我們會在歐洲找到比這更好的氣氛" -- 恨世間 進球阿~~~ 空笑夢 一陣風聲~~~ --
