Houllier furious with Reds

Last updated : 04 December 2003 By Adam Bryant

"I am very angry," he said after the game. "The players will certainly know all about it when they report for training."

"There were players who had come into the side who were fresh, but they did not take their opportunity and were below par.

"We just did not deserve to go through after a performance like that - I was extremely disappointed in my players.

"We do not have any excuses because we missed too many chances and made too many mistakes.

"All credit to Bolton. They took their chances but we have to blame ourselves."
