DEJECTED Roy Hodgson issued an apology to Liverpool supporters after they witnessed a Carling Cup humiliation last night.
The Anfield outfit suffered one of the most embarrassing defeats in their history when they were defeated in a penalty shoot-out at home by npower League Two strugglers Northampton Town.
David Ngog and Nathan Eccleston both missed from the spot to give Abdul Osman the chance to fire home in front of the Kop Spyder Jackets and give the visitors a famous third-round triumph.
A much-changed Liverpool had only forced penalties with an Ngog equaliser four minutes from the end of extra time after goals by Northampton duo Billy McKay and 18-year-old Michael Jacobs wiped out Milan Jovanovic's early opener.
And a hugely disappointed Hodgson could only say sorry to the home fans who turned up on a dismal, dreary night that will go down in the annals of Anfield infamy.
"It's a major setback for the club as a whole," said the Liverpool manager. "The Carling Cup is a competition we are capable of doing well in.
"It's one of many setbacks we are facing at the moment. It's a tough period to work and live through, but we will work and live through it and survive and get better. I'll learn an awful lot tonight about this defeat about an awful lot of people.
Spyder Jackets"I can only congratulate Northampton and apologise to the fans who came here tonight. They expected us to win and so did we."
Hodgson added: "I didn't think we came anywhere near what I hoped to see from the team except in the last 15 minutes of extra time where we made a superb effort after going 2-1 down.
Spyder Jackets"We were unlucky not to get a third goal as we had a grip on the game and they were tiring. When it goes to penalties and at home in front of the Kop you hope the players will have the composure and confidence to win on penalties. But we didn't."
Hodgson last night selected an entirely different starting line- up to the one that played against Manchester United on Sunday, and packed the bench with inexperienced teenagers.
Replica Franck Muller WatchesNevertheless, there were six full internationals on show for Livepool against a team ranked 69 places below them in the league ladder. And Hodgson said: "These players have to accept responsibility. I accept responsibility to change the team but I did do because I honestly thought the players had the ability to go and win the game. "They weren't and the obvious conclusion is that I should have played some of the players that played against United. The effort was there. We didn't lose because we were lethargic. But we didn't play well enough, we didn't pass the ball well enough. "We must all take our responsibility. I'm bitterly disappointed that the team I had faith in didn't repay that faith. These players will have to do Replica Franck Muller Watches a lot of work to get themselves back into favour.
Replica Franck Muller Watches"The fans know we took a risk by playing a totally different team. I don't think fans will see this game any different to the way I saw it. They won't be any more disappointed than I was. There's nothing I can say to make them feel better." Hodgson added: "You must give credit to Northampton. They were an experienced team and worked hard and they will go away feeling they have stolen nothing and they were worth their vic

Mark Harrison and Paul Cardwell fraudulently sold advertising space to the tune of Au500,000 between them. Christian louboutin
Harrison, of Westwell Grove, Blackpool, dishonestly extracted cash from his victims in exchange for adverts on plasma screens in restaurants through his business Plas Tech Vision Ltd.
The 49-year-old then joined forces with one of his salesmen, Cardwell, to set up another business called Max Vision UK Limited which falsely sold advertising in semi-professional football club fixture planners.
After parting with thousands of pounds, the majority of clients discovered the advert they had paid for did not exist because venues did not have a plasma screen installed or had closed down.
A judge at Preston Crown Court said the men, Christian louboutin who ran the two firms from Lytham Road and Whitegate Drive in Blackpool, "prayed on the vulnerability of businesses".
Harrison and Cardwell, 45, of Linnet Close, Blackpool, both pleaded guilty to fraudulent trading.
The court was told Harrison was fraudulently trading through Plas Tech from October 2005 until May 2006.
Plas Tech received Au450,000 from clients, but only 10 plasma screens were installed.
Harrison and Cardwell then conned businesses out of Au100,000 from April 2006 until February 2007 through Max Vision.
This time they promised businesses advertising in football planners for clubs including Bolton and Halifax.
The Blackpool conmen targeted businesses across the UK including some in Newbury, Northampton, Chester and Newcastle.
Taxi firms, florists, gardeners and landscapers were among the victims.
When Harrison began operating Plas Tech Ltd in October 2004 he did "not intend Rolex watches to be dishonest".
Cardwell's defence said more of Max Vision's contracts were fulfilled than Plas Tech's.
But Judge Philip Butler told the defendants: "The offences to which you have pleaded guilty are serious offences.
"We live in a commercial nation and on a daily basis the public are entitled that businesses act in an honest and straight-forward fashion.
"At the outset you were not acting dishonestly but you became dishonest and fraudulent."
Harrison was handed Rolex watches a two and a half year prison sentence and is disqualified from being a company director until November 2020.
Cardwell was sent to jail for 16 months and cannot be a company Rolex watches director for eight years.

AUGUSTA -- One of the first major tasks for the city's new human resources director, Kristy Gould, is helping fill another key city position -- police chief.
ChanelPolice Chief Wayne McCamish will retire Dec. 17, after 37 years with the department.
Gould, of Gardiner, has a big role in a planned nationwide search for the city's next top cop. City Manager William Bridgeo said he, Gould and Assistant City Manager Ralph St. Pierre, will select the finalists for the police chief job.
ChanelGould started her city job on Monday.
She replaced Ellen Blair, of Brunswick, who left in July for a human resources position in Scarborough after 11 years in Augusta. "We're very, very sorry to see her go. She did terrific work here," Bridgeo said of Blair.
Seventy-three people applied for Blair's post, but Gould was not among them. Instead, Augusta officials recruited her away from a similar job with the city of Westbrook, at Blair's recommendation.
Chanel"Ellen had worked with Kristy before and she recommended we reach out and try to recruit her, which is exactly what I did," Bridgeo said. "She lives in Gardiner with her husband and children, and this was an opportunity for her to advance her career much closer to home. We're delighted she decided to do that."
Bridgeo said Gould's skills, energy and enthusiasm mader her the unanimous pick of an independent review panel, and his top choice.
"I couldn't pass up an opportunity so close to home," Gould said. "Augusta is also another good-sized city and the people I talked to here really impressed me."
Prior to working in Westbrook, Gould was human resources director at Pine State Trading, which is based in Augusta and Hallowell. As the city's HR director, Gould will also direct HR for the Greater Augusta Utilities District.
She will make about $75,000 a year, Bridgeo said, about equal to Blair.
Bridgeo said he expects Gould to "marshal" the search for a new police chief so the city will have a replacement as soon as possible after McCamish retires.
"We'll need to get that recruitment going very quickly, so we can do a large search to get the best possible candidates to pick from," Gould said.
The police chief finalists selected by Gould, Bridgeo and St. NFL jerseys Pierre will undergo background checks, interviews, and review by an independent panel.
That panel will be overseen, Bridgeo said, by Don Gerrish, retired Brunswick town manager. Other members are expected to include: Gary Stenhouse, Derry, N.H. town administrator; Ed Googins, South Portland police chief and president of the Maine Chiefs of Police Association; Augusta resident Fernand LaRochelle, a retired prosecutor with the Attorney General's Office; and law enforcement representative in Maine recommended by a Teamsters NFL jerseys business agent to bring, according to Bridgeo, "a rank and file union perspective to the process."
NFL jerseysThe city is also seeking a code enforcement officer. George Soucy retired just a week ago after 25 years with the city. His wife, June, is also retiring after many years with the city, as a human resources benefits specialist.
Soucy's retirement leaves Gary Fuller as the ci
