Rafa Benitez and Arsene Wenger both disagreed with referee
Martin Atkinson's decision after Liverpool's Carling Cup quarter
final with Arsenal was postponed due to fog.
Atkinson took the decision to call off the game an hour before
kick-off as he had safety concerns in the poor conditions.
Benitez voiced his surprise as he felt the visibility was not too
bad and improving all the time.
"I was surprised because this morning we were training in worse
conditions, and when we arrived it was much worse than now," he
told Sky Sports.
"Now it is much better and you can see from one goal to the other
goal.
"But you cannot change the decision. We must respect it but we
don't agree."
Wenger also felt that the game should have gone ahead, or that
putting it back until Wednesday would have been another viable
option.
"Both teams wanted to play. We offered to start the game and, if it
was impossible, to stop the game," he explained.
"At the moment, to me, it looks playable, but the referee has made
his mind up and we could not influence him in fairness.
"Benitez and myself tried to play but he thought it was too
dangerous.
"We could have played tomorrow, even, but it is very difficult to
reorganise in such a short time. I asked and everyone said it was
impossible to rearrange it in 24 hours."
