Hodgson's rally call

05 August 2010 12:05
Roy Hodgson has called for his under-performing Liverpool players to turn things around this season. "As a player you have a chance to change things around here. I won't go down the ownership route other than to say we know the ones we have now are very unpopular. "That's well documented - they know it and that's why they are prepared to sell, but if you don't think that the team is doing as well as it should, then as a player you can do something about it. "We want our big players doing well. If they are not, I shall be advising them to look in the mirror and not to constantly look for excuses elsewhere and blame the owners for not having spent £500million. "I am sceptical about comments in which players are questioning the club's ambition. I would tend to throw that back at them and say that the club's ambitions rest in your hands, you're the ones playing for us and you're the ones people are paying to watch. "We will push the players and some of them won't like it, but my sympathy always lies with them and in my 36 years in management I have not been let down very often, so I must be right in my experience of trusting them."
