Milivojevic praises Hodgson for stabilising club

Crystal Palace midfielder, Luka Milivojevic has admitted that boss Roy Hodgson has done an amazing job since arriving at the club, as reported by Football London.

When the former England manager took over the Eagles were bottom of the table having not scored a single goal all season.

It didn’t start well for the well-travelled boss as he lost his first three games as manager, against Southampton, Manchester United and Manchester City.

The club have managed to turn things round since then however, now sitting six points clear of the drop with 35 games played, and all-but assured of their safety.

Milivojevic, has played a key role for Palace these season contributing 10 goals in 34 games across all competitions to haul the Londoners out of the relegation scrap.

Palace have been dealt problems with injuries to key members of the squad throughout the season, including Wilfried Zaha. Amidst the adversity, the Serb has seen fit to praise his manager:

I know he was a manager of many, many teams, and what I heard, we spoke in the dressing room, that he is a very experienced manager and he can for sure solve our problem in that moment,

(We had) problems with results, problems in the dressing room, many different problems, and he has really done an amazing job and now we are in a very good position.
