Roy Hodgson Unhappy With Start

Roy Hodgson has called Liverpool's start to the 2010 Premier League season as unacceptable they slumped to a 2-1 defeat to Blackpool at Anfield.

Their latest defeat seems Liverpool in the relegation zone as well as having been dumped out of the Carling Cup by Northampton.

When the full time whistle sounded at Anfield there were chants of Kenny Dalglish, who was overlooked for the Liverpool manager job in the summer, from the Kop.

Hodgson took over at Anfield in the summer but Liverpool have had their worst start to a season in fifty years.

Talking after the match Hodgson revealed that he was unhappy with the opening series of games but praised Blackpool for their performance.

Speaking to Sky Sport he said: "It is a very bad start to the season, a start we could never have envisaged.

"It is a start we are really unhappy with and we have got to live with it that's the way it is. It is a strange season the way it has gone so far.

"We are very, very unhappy that after four home games and three away we have six points and that is not acceptable.

"We have a lot of work to turn the situation around. I thought first half Blackpool played well, but we were not near anywhere where we should be.

"Unfortunately we down to a second goal on the stroke of half-time, but in the second half you see a totally different team.

"All credit to Blackpool for holding onto their lead and for taking the lead 2-0."

Next weekend it's a Mersyside derby as Liverpool face a struggling Everton at Goodison Park.
