Hodgson asks for backing from fans

Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson has risked incurring further wrath from disgruntled fans by claiming they should be getting behind the team instead of directing their anger at him.

Since taking over from Rafael Benitez in July, the 63-year-old has failed to win over the Anfield faithful and in last night’s 1-0 home defeat to Wolves there were chants for Kenny Dalglish and also “Hodgson for England”.
