Tommy Smith: Sweeping changes led to Liverpool FC humiliating downfall
I WASN'T at the Northampton game on Wednesday night. But I don't think I could have been any angrier even if I had been.[LNB]As soon as the penalty shoot-out ended, I switched the radio off and went to bed.[LNB]Like all other listening fans, and of course the thousands of supporters who paid their money, braved the rain and went along to support their side in what should have been a routine cup game, I'd long since heard enough and had enough.[LNB]I know there were six international players on duty plus some other apparently up and coming youngsters. And for that reason we should have had enough to see off a lowly League Two side at Anfield.[LNB] But a fair share of the blame for this woefully embarrassing defeat simply has to go to the manager for making 11 changes - yes 11 changes - to the line-up.[LNB]I'm sorry but this is just utterly ridiculous to me.[LNB]I played for eight years in a team that barely changed under Bill Shankly.
