I’ve got the players’ support says Liverpool FC manager Roy Hodgson

Roy Hodgson 300[LNB]UNDER PRESSURE Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson insists he can turn around Liverpool's season against Bolton tomorrow - with the backing of the players who let him down on Wednesday against Wolves.[LNB]The Reds slumped to a lacklustre home defeat in midweek, mustering just one meaningful shot on target in a desperate display against the Premier League's basement side.[LNB]But the Reds boss declared: 'I have been lucky the support I have had has been from the players and within the club.'[LNB]And he spoke of his hope that the fans unite behind the team against Owen Coyle's improved side.[LNB] 'I think all bad results knock everyone's confidence but I think I can look myself in the mirror,' said the Reds boss.[LNB]'I am trying the best I can do and the group of players I put out there was probably the best XI, apart from Daniel Agger who has been injured long term.[LNB]'When I think about it had I chosen a different team which did not have a midfield of Dirk Kuyt, Lucas Leiva, Steven Gerrard and Raul Meireles, with Fernando Torres and David Ngog up front, I don't think things would have been different,[LNB]'I fear whatever team I chose the performance would have been the same and that showed when I made the three substitutions and it didn't alter the level of performance.[LNB]'I don't think there are many players happy with how they played. I put it down to it being a bad day for us.'
