Rodgers ‘astonished’ by criticism of Mick
Manager McCarthy had come under pressure following five consecutive Premier League defeats, and his side appeared to be heading for a sixth when they trailed 2-0 at half-time as Danny Graham and Joe Allen found the net for the Welsh club.
The hosts were booed from the field at the interval and there were howls of derision from the crowd when McCarthy withdrew wingers Adam Hammill and Matt Jarvis in favour of Adlene Guedioura and Nenad Milijas.
