Yeh, he did the same last season.

Liverpool 2 - 2 Northampton (2 - 4 on penalties)

Just listened to Jan Molby saying on 5live that Liverpool are now seeing the legacy of Benitez.

These results happen from time to time in the worthless cup, I can remember United nearly getting knocked out by much lesser teams that Northampton.

So much for Hodgson getting the best out of the players at his disposal. Bookies will be tapping away at his sacking odds as we speak!

It is only the Carling Cup but it's so nice to watch Chelsea and Liverpool go out so early to lesser clubs

Should have easily won it without those players.

Agger, Kyrgiakos, Lucas, Jovanovic, Babel , Ngog ?? - all played fairly frequently undr Benitez (except Jovanovic the "big" signing of the summer)

Should have won it no question, several of the players in last night's team are full internationals but it highlights a few serious issues which seem to be affecting the confidence of the whole squad:

1. In general the young/fringe players aren't good enough and in the face of being repeatedly "bigged up" on the club website/forums etc some appear to believe they're better than they actually are. Not the manager's fault but based on last nights comments playing down the better performers this is not going to do any favours for their confidence especially if they're to be called upon to fill in for injuries later in the season (IF he is still there).

2. Manager isn't good enough: desparate long-ball tactics foisted upon a team who have had possession football drilled into them season after season by the previous hierarchy, not just last night but this applies to all of the performances to date.

3. The lowering of standards, expectations and ambition which seems to be the key feature of the many interview's he's given to date: is not acceptable whether he likes the squad he's inherited or not. Perhaps the manager should direct more energy into coaching and managing the team than blabbing to the media.

4. Also, failing to defend Torres against Ferguson's ridiculous cheating allegation over the weekend is inexcusable. Seems he'd rather just bend over and take it from his best mate. Nice guy maybe but gutless and being gutless gets you nowhere at the top of the game.
