LIVERPOOL F.C - NORTHAMPTON TOWN (OFFICIAL POST)

Hodgson:
"I can only apologise to the fans who expected to see us win. The fact is the players have to accept responsibility. I accept the responsibility for changing a lot of players in the team but I thought they were good enough to win the game but they weren't. "

Gerrard:

'Even though it wasn't the number one priority, at the start of the season one of the targets was to get to Wembley. There are only two chances so to lose one so early is really frustrating. We just need to try even harder now in the FA Cup and make sure we give it everything we've got because the fans deserve a trip to Wembley.

'All the main prizes are still out there and there's still a good chance to achieve them all, so let's be upbeat and positive moving forward.
