Laudrup rues Anfield 'nightmare'

[Folami David]

Swansea boss Michael Laudrup apologised to fans after they slumped to a 5-0 Premier League defeat at Liverpool.
.
The Dane had named a weakened side in an attempt to keep players fresh for next Sunday's Capital One Cup final against Bradford City.
.
But the decision backfired as Steven Gerrard, Philippe Coutinho, Jose Enrique, Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge scored for the rampant Reds.
.
"It was a nightmare we got slaughtered out there," Laudrup admitted.
.
"First half we were still in the game but to give away three goals like that in 10 minutes at the start of the second half was terrible - we have to say sorry to the fans."
.
The Swans trailed 1-0 at half- time to Gerrard's penalty, awarded when Kemy Agustien was adjudged to have brought down Suarez.
.
But Coutinho, Enrique - finishing off the move of the match - and Suarez found the back of the Swansea net in quick succession after the restart.
.
Sturridge's penalty, after Wayne Routledge had clumsily handled the ball in the area, rounded off a miserable afternoon for the Welsh side.
