The team Roy picked was not full of kids.
Agger, Sotis, Lucas, Babel and Ngog are all experienced first team players. Jones has a sh*t load of experience for Boro and the Aussie national side. Wison has Champions League experience. Jovanovich is an experienced international who has played in World Cups.
The three "inexperienced" players were Spearing, Kelly and Pacheco - two of whom were our best players out there.
In my opinion certain senior players thought of themselves too good for this competition and the match. Very few showed any passion for the Red shirt. It was a disgrace to watch. We can all blame Hodgson for the selection, but a side with more internationals than not is not an inexperienced side. The players let Hodgson and the club down badly. Hodgson didn't help himself with how he sat there with his head in his hands.
Some players proved why they should never play for Liverpool Football Club again. Others proved, again, why they should be involved on a permanent fixture in the first team. Kelly and Pacheco won't get many opportunities this year - wrongly in my opinion - and one chance they would of got was the League Cup but they've been let down by players who will get the chances in the first team i.e. Ryan Babel.
I was fuming last night and I'm fuming right now. I don't care if it's only the Carling Cup, we've won F**k all for years and this was a major opportunity for us. We've blown it - again. Some of those players need to F**k off for good away from Anfield. They're not good enough to wear the shirt. Embarrassing isn't the word.
I hate seeing us lose any game, but to lose in that way sickens me. And it sickens me more when I see players not giving a F***ing sh*t. Pride and passion is the least fans ask from a player. F**k off out the club if you haven't got it.
Another chance blown.
