da pinup bet: Fulham boss Martin Jol has blamed his side’s defensive mistakes after the Cottagers were knocked out of the Capital One Cup.
da betsul: The Dutchman watched his side lose 4-3 away to Leicester City, as the Championship side booked their place in the fifth round of the tournament.
Jol has been under pressure recently after a poor start in the Premier League, with more questions set to be raised over his job security after conceding four goals at the King Power Stadium. But the Dutch manager has blamed his players for the defeat, slamming their defensive performances.
“The keeper should keep that ball in his hands,” Jol stressed to the club’s official website.
“And the second goal, Philippe Senderos tried to play it out in a very awkward way – he shouldn’t do that, especially away [from home]. Don’t concede goals, that is what we always say.
“Maarten Stekelenburg couldn’t hold the ball and for the second goal Philippe Senderos played it into their feet and they scored two goals and that was a hammer blow. I thought the spirit before the game and during the game was really good, but we gave cheap goals away. We came back from 3-1 down in the second half and scored two goals away from home against a good team.
“We should have scored earlier but then we scored the third goal and I thought we’d really go for it and score the winner but it wasn’t to be. They scored the winner; we had three players at the back, they had two up front and we should have closed that gap but Zverotić didn’t do that so they scored the winning goal.”
Jol will be desperate for his side to get back to winning ways, but he could have his work cut out as his Fulham side host Manchester United on Saturday for their Premier League encounter.
