Duncan Ferguson has explained his substitutions against Aston Villa and again praised his players for their effort at Goodison Park on Saturday.
The Blues fell to another defeat at the weekend thanks to an Emiliano Buendia header late in the first half, with the good feeling around another temporary spell in charge for the popular former striker not being able to pull the side through on this occasion.
The players showed fight and intensity throughout, but were not able to add the quality in the second half to take any of the chances they created.
