Roy Hodgson has admitted he was wrong to criticise three Crystal Palace youngsters following last Friday\u2019s defeat by Tottenham and said he had apologised to them personally.<\/p>\n
Boss Hodgson singled out Matheus Franca, Jesurun Rak-Sakyi and Naouirou Ahamada after the 2-1 home loss, saying: \u2018They didn\u2019t do anything for us at all, really. We became much weaker when I made the substitutions.\u2019<\/p>\n
Hodgson came under fire for his comments and rowed back on Thursday, admitting: \u2018It was wrong of me to do so in the disappointment of a game.<\/p>\n
\u2018Sometimes in a press conference directly after the game, one is tempted to say things that you really shouldn\u2019t say and really I don\u2019t mean.<\/p>\n
\u2018We have great faith in all of our young players. We think they are going to be extremely good and they\u2019re making very good progress.<\/p>\n
\u2018It\u2019s a bit unfair to expect more of them, as I was suggesting I did expect on that evening.<\/p>\n
\u2018That was very unfair of me and wrong of me and I\u2019ve spoken to them and explained that and apologised for actually doing so.\u2019<\/p>\n
