London, Oct 4 (ANI): Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson has admitted that his side is in a relegation scrap following their defeat over Blackpool at Anfield.
lackpool delivered the latest hammer blow to Hodgson as the Seasiders brilliantly clung to a 2-1 win at Anfield as Liverpool followed their recent Carling Cup humiliation against Northampton Town with another shocker, The Sun reports.
worried Hodgson accepted the fact that Liverpool is dangling dangerously at the wrong end of the table, as his side is now third from the bottom of the Premier League
It's seven games gone and there are 31 left, which is an awful lot of games, but the fact is that when you are in the relegation zone you are in a relegation battle. Things look bleak and really, really bad. It's really difficult for me to put a brave or bright face on it," the paper quoted Hodgson, as saying.
There is a lot of work to do and there are a lot of things to sort out. But I can only take heart from the fact that the spirit is still there. It's a bad day, a very bad result and a great day for Blackpool - but they're great result is our nightmare result," he added.
he Liverpool coach further said the Blackpool played better than his side in the first half.
"I don't know if the early injury blow to Fernando Torres had a psychological effect but I don't think so. We knew they were an offensive team and we knew if we got hold of the ball there'd be chances to play the ball into midfielders and that's what happened - but we didn't use it well," said Hodgson
"There will be lots of theories won't there? My theory is no better than anybody else's. It's been strange - the early part here was not that bad. We had some very good results in Europe but the last couple of games have been really, really bad," he added. (ANI)
