Fabio Aurelio has backed under fire boss Roy Hodgson. The Brazilian defender insists all the players are fully behind Hodgson as the Reds look to put a run of wins together. "We are all behind the manager and we have to try to get out of this situation together," said Aurelio. "We all know the coach is the first person to have the pressure on. He tries to make the team play, but it's the players who have to go out on the pitch and do it. "Hopefully there will be no more setbacks and beating Bolton will be the start of a good run of results. "We need to play every game at the kind of level we played at on Saturday and try to improve further. "There was a lot of pressure on us as we really needed a result. When you are playing for a big team that pressure is always there and we are the first ones to put pressure on ourselves when we are not doing as well as we could. "The character we showed to come back was good. We left it late but we played better football, created chances and it was a deserved victory. "The performance was very good. You could see an improvement and that win gives us the confidence to go forward into the next games. "We've started the New Year well and hopefully we can keep going like this. If we win our two games in hand we could be sixth and things will look better."
