Despite taking the lead through a fortunate own-goal, the Premier League new-boys subsided to their League Two hosts in meek fashion. Marvin Morgan levelled for Shrewsbury before Mark Wright and Nicky Wroe struck in the second-half to send the hosts into round three for the first time in 18 years. And Rodgers was not happy. "It is my most disappointing night in football," he said. "We are not good enough to turn up anywhere and win a game at 70 per cent. "You need the right mindset to do the ugly bits of football. "I have told the players to make sure they remember the Manchester City game, when they made their Premier League debuts, make sure they remember how well they played against Wigan. "But don't forget to tell their grandchildren that they played against Shrewsbury and lost. That is the reality. It shouldn't happen." The manner of defeat was a total surprise to Rodgers, who made nine changes to his starting line-up, but expected far better from those who represented his club. "A few of them have put their hands up to say don't pick me," he observed. "Some of them will get on the bus and think it is a game less. I don't think like that. I want to win every game. "Whether or not the game wasn't big enough for some players, I don't know. "But we had the top scorer from the Championship last season, international players, experience. We were good enough. "I said before the game that a team would be knocked out, a big team, and they would be knocked out because their attitude wasn't right. Ours wasn't right." Shrewsbury's veteran boss Graham Turner is too long in the tooth to go overboard about a single success. However, he knows his club's supporters will await Saturday's third round draw with keen interest. "It would be nice for the chairman to get Manchester United away. I would like anyone at home," said Turner. "It is a great result for the club. We had several seasons in the Championship but it has been too many years in the lower leagues now. "We deserved to get promoted last season. The aim has to be to do it this season."
