QPR midfielder Henry admits Redknapp blew fuse after Liverpool defeat

QPR midfielder Karl Henry admits manager Harry Redknapp was furious after defeat to Liverpool.

Redknapp was angry with Leroy Fer for chipping a late free-kick down the throats of the Liverpool defence, enabling them to break, rather than hitting it high into the stands to waste some time.

"Harry was not happy," Henry admitted. "He was shouting at us of course - we threw it away. It was naive from us, unprofessional. It can't happen.

"Someone said in the dressing room that it wouldn't have even happened in an Under-11s game. The goals we conceded were shocking.

"How were we unprofessional? Like with the first goal. They take a quick free kick and we were asleep. It was ridiculous.

"Then having them break on us for the second goal, running out of their box quicker than we did. You cross the ball and it drops in their box and it's not possible that they have four of five bodies in our box and we're not with them. That shouldn't be possible.

"Then when you get to 2-2 late on in the game - you don't concede. But we dropped the free kick short rather than run it in the stand or making it sure it's long, in the corner, somewhere else.

"Everyone in the dressing room was really disappointed afterwards. We were extremely disappointed in ourselves - we let ourselves down.

"We played well for large parts of the game, to come in with no points is a joke. But we only have ourselves to blame."
