Reds suffer full Brunt of old boss Hodgson
No sooner had Hodgson been replaced by Kenny Dalglish in January than the club sold Fernando Torres and replaced him with Carroll and Luis Suarez, who have helped lift the Reds up the table into fifth place.
Hodgson has not done badly, either, unbeaten in five games since taking over at West Brom, who moved up to 12th place following this well-deserved victory at the Hawthorns.
