Roy Hodgson
DEFLATED Roy Hodgson accepted responsibility for a “really, really bleak” start to the season and admitted Liverpool are now facing a relegation battle.
The Anfield outfit dropped into the bottom three after a weekend round of games for the first time in more than 46 years following a shock 2-1 home defeat to promoted Blackpool yesterday. Follow our LFC Twitter account for the latest Anfield updates.
A 53rd-minute Sotirios Kyrgiakos header wasn’t enough after a Charlie Adam penalty and Luke Varney’s well-taken strike earned the Seasiders their first win over Liverpool since 1967.
Defeat means Liverpool have taken just six points from seven games, their worst start to a top-flight season since 1953-54 when they were relegated.
Hodgson also had to contend with the Kop chanting for Kenny Dalglish, the popular choice to follow Rafael Benitez as manager in the summer.
And asked if such chants were unfair, the Liverpool manager said: “What’s fair or what’s unfair? There is no fairness.
