Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson has defended No2 Sammy Lee's touchline antics during defeat at Stoke City.
Reporters quizzed the boss on how animated Lee appeared to be on the touchline.
"These games must be a nightmare for referees because there are so many physical battles going on," Hodgson said. "It's difficult to work out whether the defender fouls the forward or the forward fouls the defender. Please forgive us if our frustration boils over on the touchline from time to time."
