Everton's last trophy saw them beat Arsenal to lift the 2008 League Cup

Everton Ladies manager Mo Marley says she was happy with her side's display despite being knocked out of the Women's Champions League on Wednesday.

The Blues beat Norwegian side Roa 2-0 on Wednesday but were defeated 3-2 on aggregate overall.

"I was very happy with the performance, the application and everything we did," Marley told BBC Radio Merseyside.

"You could be ultra-critical and say the only thing was the amount of chances we had and the goal return."

Marley added: "I think we had 28 attempts on goal and we've only scored two goals. So that's the thing you'd have to focus on.

"Pretty much that's what's cost us and the poor performance the week before [in the first leg]."

The Everton boss, who steered her side to second place in the National Division last season, says there are positives to take from the game.

"I thought our build up and approach play was excellent. Sometimes we've not created that many chances in games that we have dominated," he said.

"It's progress from were we where at. Our quality play in the final third and everything else was exceptionally good.

"I'd be a bit more concerned if we hadn't have created any opportunities. I think the next stage now is to capitalise when you're on top.

"Ensure you turn all that possession into goals and make sure it counts."
