“Benfica win will boost Everton confidence” – Rodwell
"Benfica win will boost Everton confidence" - Rodwell | Related News
Everton midfielder Jack Rodwell is certain that a win over Benfica in Thursday night’s Europa League fixture will boost Everton’s confidence. The Toffees currently lie in 13th in the Barclays Premier League table, and Rodwell believes that the side could be ready to turn the corner.
“We feel good about the performance against Villa but not about the result,” said Rodwell.
“It’s playing on our minds a little bit that we need a win and the perfect time to get that is on Thursday at Goodison.
“The defeat over in Portugal was difficult to take. In the first 45 minutes we were as good if not better than Benfica but in the second half we weren’t at the races and our heads dropped.
“Now they’ve got to come to our ground and we have to show Benfica what a good side we are. We owe Benfica one and we owe it to ourselves. Hopefully on Thursday we can turn it around.”
