Dirk Kuyt Apologises For Liverpool’s Woeful Display Against Blackpool

By Chris Wright

For Blackpool fans, just ‘Right click: Save as’…

As you may be aware by now, Liverpool continued to plumb new depths at Anfield on Saturday after being well and truly bested by newly-promoted Blackpool, eventually losing out 2-1 thanks to goals from Charlie Adam and Luke Varney.

Greek defender Sortirios Kyrgiakos managed to net a consolation goal for Liverpool with a towering header, but the fact that it was just a ‘consolation’ should tell you all you need to know about their doleful displays of late – with manager Roy Hodgson even admitting that his side may be facing an unprecedented relegation battle during his post-match interview.

After analysing the game, Liverpool legend Alan Hansen described the players’ display as a ‘disgrace’, leading Dirk Kuyt (who was arguably one of the better performers on the day) to admonish the result as the worst he’d ever suffered since moving to Anfield in 2006;

“It was really, really disappointing. It’s probably one of the hardest defeats I’ve had to take since I’ve been here and we’re sorry for the fans.

The first thing we have got to do is make sure we start winning games again and then we can begin to take things from there.”

Liverpool started and finished the game in the bottom three of the Premier League and will have to stay there for at least the next fortnight as international games take precedent, with a Merseyside derby with fellow stragglers Everton to look forward to in their first game back.

    When a Man Stares Into the Abyss and sees nothing but darkness, this is the time that he finds his character. And it is his character, that keeps him from falling into the abyss – Roy Hodgson please take

    nightmare!

    Roy “the Clueless” Hodgson is totally out of his league. To say that LFC cannot be compared to the top for is just a lame excuse to lower fans expectation. How many teams in the league boast the kind of international players in their rank? Sure we may not have the depth of Chelsea & Man City but I think we are comparable to Arsenal and Man U.

    As we all can see, Roy Hodgson is clueless about our players and his tactics are non-existence. He simply doesn’t instill any confidence in the player with his tactics and team selection.

    Gremlins, you from Liverpool, my friend? It really is hilarious when someone on the internet talks about a club using “we”, then says things like “his tactics are non-existence.”
