Hodgson keeps struggles in perspective
Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson insists he is no worse a coach now than he was three months ago and that he is currently enduring "a bad moment".
A home defeat to Blackpool has left the Reds 18th in the Barclays Premier League and critics are already starting to question whether Hodgson was the right choice to replace Rafael Benitez.
The 63-year-old was the League Managers Association's manager of the year last season after guiding unfancied Fulham to the Europa League final, but he has since endured a torrid time at Anfield.
"I don't think you go from being as feted as I was in May to losing any ability three months later," he said.
"I know the question is going to get asked but it shouldn't really be asked by people who have been in football a long time, because we all know in football you have good and bad moments.
"At the end of May I was having a fantastic moment and here at the beginning of October, I'm having bad moments."
