Portuguese Manager questioned referee’s calls after the game.

‘We definitely didn’t deserve to lose this one, but referee’s somewhat questionable calls played an important role on the outcome. I think Crouch fouled Sivok before the penalty so the decision should’ve gone the other way. There were also a lot of dubious calls which slowed us down. All these showed that the better team didn’t win tonight. However, I congratulate Stoke City on their win. I'm sure we'll put in a better performance in the return match.’
