Disappointment could be clearly seen on Chris Coleman as he remarked that he was totally unhappy with the way Coventry City conceded to the first goal by Didier Drogba of Chelsea. It was in the early first half that Drogba scored his first goal against Coventry that really disappointed Chris Coleman. Drogba was very quick to realise the opportunity when a misjudged header of Ben Turner brought him head on with Scott Dann. He dodged the captain of Coventry City, handled the goalkeeper and before the defenders could rush, placed his left-foot shot high into the net. This gave him his tally in this season to three goals in four games. Finally a decisive second goal by Alex towards the end of the game brought an end of the quarter finals of the FA Cup for Coventry at Ricoh Arena.

Chris Coleman said he did not expect that his team to give early chances to the opposition but added that the finish was clinical and said that the ball was just not ready to bounce their way, though they kept on pushing the ball up to them and Coventry’s masked marauder Leon Best, the man with the talented football boots, only managed a few rare chances. Coleman further added that though it was the club’s biggest game at the new stadium, but said that they need to move on quickly. He said it is not just good players in Chelsea but all over the pitch there were world class players. Coleman warned the players that it would be better to get over their exit from the cup quickly and focus their energies back to duty leagues. Though the process is going to be difficult but they have to bring themselves back to reality and move forward.
