[h=3]Poyet proud in Cup defeat[/h]5:51pm Saturday 26th January 2013 in Albion By Brian Owen
Gus Poyet has revealed his Albion side were bitterly disappointed to bow out of the FA Cup.
But the Seagulls boss was proud of his team’s efforts in the 3-2 defeat to Arsenal.
Poyet said: “We were much better than last year at this stage.
“We competed better, we were strong.
“Of course you expect to play against players who can do things better than you for longer.
“They have got Wilshere and Walcott fresh for the last 25 minutes and you are quite tired.
“You have already made two changes because of injuries in the first half so it is very difficult.
“We need to take it. It’s a funny feeling. We are more disappointed than we should be.
“The dressing room is like we lost a final and I think we competed very well.”
