Blackburn away next. Should we be worried? Why yes. Yes we should. Still, always a chance of a famous victory there.

You never know. If we park the bus we might get lucky.

That’s because the majority of the media hacks see Roy as the holder of a poisoned chalice.

The Club Ambassador feels there must be a collective focus upon this afternoon's meeting with Bolton and is confident the three points can be achieved if the Reds head into the game with a united front.

Dalglish said: "Let's just press the pause button and throw all our efforts and energies into one basket.

"Everyone - whether players, supporters, staff or whatever - has to throw everything towards the one aim and that is to get us three badly needed points from the game against Bolton today.

"Because if everyone sticks together we'll have a better chance of getting those three points."

He added: "If everybody does their job properly; if everybody sticks together; if the players excite the fans and the fans support the players and everyone is led in one direction, then we should get the result today.

"But without everybody being on the same page, it will make it a bit more difficult."

Agree with Kenny here

About Fu*king time he said something!

Hodgson: "I spoke to the owners and they wished me good luck and sympathised with the frustration I must have been feeling after Wednesday."

"Had we won on Wednesday night you would now be asking me about the Champions League."

Listen to Coyle talking about our players and club. Heaping great praise. Owen will be here in the summer. Well, i hope so!!

Crowd of only 35,000 will have alarmed the owners despite a last gasp victory today. Hodgson can win games here and there but the damage appears to have been done already and beyond repair. Its about much more than just winning on the field these days and certainly in terms of media and PR Hodgson has let himself down. Even today hes wittering on about being happy when it was 1-1 when he didnt have to go there giving opportunity for criticism again. He will be gone soon no doubt with Dalglish in charge until the summer.

Gotta say I'm getting sick of hearing him say over and over that he would have been happy to draw, he really has no ambition whatsoever it's beyond frustrating. Coyle, manager of Bolton, was disappointed to not get the 3 points, at Anfield, yet Roy would have been pleased with 1 point.. that says it all. In the end this club is too big for Roy, I'm glad we won and hope it continues but he isn't a good fit for us.

Whilst I cant see my obvious disdain for the man currently at the helm diminishing in any respect ,I must say the decision whether to sack Hodgson should not have been made any harder by this victory ....indeed it is such actions which will define the Owners and their conviction to enabling Liverpool Football Club in regaining their rightful seat dining at the top table .... the saying "give a man enough rope " is an apt one especially when applied in Hodgson's case time and time again he has felt the need to apologize for his outbursts ....... so yes Today's game was the right result, and we the fans await another one with bated breath ...... Nesv need to be ruthless and precise in their judgement if they wish to retain the respect of the fans

Liverpool set to delay search for Roy Hodgson successor as prospect looms of Kenny Dalglish return

By Rory Smith
Last Updated: 10:59PM GMT 01/01/2011
Exclusive: Liverpool’s owners are so determined to end Roy Hodgson’s reign as manager that they are now prepared to delay the search for his long-term successor until the summer and install a caretaker until June, raising the prospect of an emotional return to the club for Kenny Dalglish.

Despite Saturday’s last-gasp win against Bolton, Hodgson’s persistent failure to elicit consistent results and performances from his team, as well as the breakdown of his relationship with the club’s fans, has convinced Fenway Sports Group to bring forward their initial plan to review his position in the summer.

Even after deciding they must act swiftly to replace the 63 year-old, the group’s principal backers, John W Henry and Tom Werner, had hoped to make the first managerial appointment of their reign a permanent one. They are believed to have examined the credentials of a number of candidates, including the Porto manager Andre Villas Boas and Marseille’s Didier Deschamps.

The difficulty and cost associated with enticing the right long-term appointment midway through the season, however, has now forced FSG to rethink their strategy, with the group now thought to favour introducing an interim manager before installing their preferred candidate in June.

Liverpool’s fans made clear their belief that Dalglish should be handed the position, in the short-term at least, during Wednesday night’s defeat to Wolves, offering ironic chants of “Hodgson for England” and singing the Scot’s name. That Anfield yesterday recorded its lowest Premier League attendance since 2004 — just 35,400 watched the game — is an equally telling statistic.

Dalglish had hoped to be offered the manager’s job, which he occupied between 1985 and 1991, after the dismissal of Rafael Benitez last summer, informing the club’s then hierarchy that he would happily take charge until owners to replace the despised regime of Tom Hicks and George Gillett could be found.

It is likely that, with Liverpool marooned in mid-table despite beating Owen Coyle’s side, Dalglish would be prepared to take the post on a similarly temporary basis. Certainly, should FSG decide to install a caretaker other than the Scot, they are likely to face a backlash from an already unsettled fan-base.

Hodgson, for his part, remains committed to fighting for his post and yesterday indicated he felt he retained the ongoing support of Henry and Werner, though his remarks were anything but conclusive.

“I guess so,” replied the Liverpool manager when asked whether he believed he retained the faith of the club’s owners. “I spoke to the owners before the game. They wished me well for the game and sympathised with the frustration I felt after the defeat to Wolves.

“I do not know if this was a game we had to win, but we certainly had to play well. I know about all of the negativity but it does not affect me. If we had won on Wednesday night we would be right up there and I would be being asked about the Champions League. Because we did not, I am being asked about the negativity.” The 63-year-old is rather more adamant on the subject of his relationship with his players, with FSG believed to be concerned at his apparent failure to coax better form out of the likes of Fernando Torres and Steven Gerrard.

“I know when players are behind a club and behind their manager,” he said.

“And I know when they are not. Anyone who seriously suggests after watching us play in these six months that there are any problems on the front is being dishonest. I am satisfied that the team gave the performance they want, I want and the fans want.”
