Blackburn Rovers caretaker boss Steve Kean had sympathy for Roy Hodgson after beating Liverpool last night.
Martin Olsson's opener and a Benjani Mwaruwari brace did the damage for Rovers.
"Roy is a great coach and manager but we can only look after what we can do, which is winning games to try to move us up the league," he said.
Kean, who was missing eight first-team members, paid tribute to the players he had available.
"I thought we were tremendous tonight," he added.
"We let them back into the game and it was a bit nervy when we gave them the penalty but overall, on the balance of play, we were worthy of the three points.
"It was all about the togetherness; there is a tight group and we were down to the bare bones and that is how you show team spirit.
"I don't think it is anything about me tonight it is about the team and showing what we are as a club and I am really proud of the lads."
