Preston defender St Ledger rattled by Liverpool show

Preston defender Sean St Ledger admits he's been rattled by Liverpool's 5-1 victory at Newcastle.

Ahead of their FA Cup tie, St Ledger said: "I reckon we could be in for a busy time judging by what we saw there.

"We were watching it on the bus to Barnsley and when they got their third or fourth goal against Newcastle there was a stampede to get the remote control and switch it off.

"It's incredible to think they didn't even have Fernando Torres out there. And no Robbie Keane, either.

"Their first-half display was the best I've seen from any team ever. It was breathtaking.

"We were all thinking 'What are we going to do next week to try to stop them? If they can do that to Newcastle, what will they do to us?' It was free-flowing football at its best, magnificent to watch as a football fan.

"But probably not so good to play against."
