Hodgson - Liverpool will ride out storm
Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson has insisted the club will "live through a bad moment" as he seeks to lift morale after their embarrassing Carling Cup exit.
An understrength side lost on penalties to League Two outfit Northampton on Wednesday.
With Liverpool's difficult start to the Barclays Premier League leaving them 16th, although only three points adrift of fourth, the scrutiny on the Reds and their manager has intensified.
But Hodgson has drawn a line under Wednesday night's performance.
"I've had many disappointments. You can't work at 35 years at the level I have without having disappointments," he said. "Any criticism which comes my way and the team's we have to accept because it is not acceptable to have a home game in the Carling Cup against a team several divisions below you and not come out with a victory.
"Wednesday was a really bad result for the club, it has knocked us backwards, and has put us in a situation where we are heavily criticised - perhaps rightly so."
