Liverpool's start to the Premier League campaign has been labelled as unacceptable by manager Roy Hodgson.

The Merseysiders crashed to a desperately disappointing 2-1 home loss to Blackpool on Sunday afternoon, a result that rankled with the former Fulham boss.

A Charlie Adam penalty and Luke Varney effort placed the Seasiders in a commanding position at the interval and although Sotirios Kyrgiakos reduced the deficit, Ian Holloway's men held on for a famous victory, much to Hodgson's disgust.

"It is a very bad start to the season, a start we could never have envisaged," he said.

"It is a start we are really unhappy with and we have got to live with it that's the way it is. It is a strange season the way it has gone so far.

"We are very, very unhappy that after four home games and three away we have six points and that is not acceptable.

"We have a lot of work to turn the situation around.

"I thought first half Blackpool played well, but we were not near anywhere where we should be."
