John Aldridge: Boss Roy Hodgson must find a cure to Liverpool FC’s travel sickness

07 September 2010 06:20
Roy Hodgson[LNB]ONE major challenge facing Roy Hodgson this season is improving Liverpool's shocking away form.[LNB]We were so poor on our travels last season that at times it left me lost for words. There was a serious lack of belief and desire when we played away and when things went against us heads went down.[LNB]The fact that we only won five and only scored 18 goals in 19 away games speaks volumes. We were too negative and didn't take the game to opposing teams.[LNB]If we're going to achieve anything in the league this season that has to be put right - starting with Sunday's difficult trip to Birmingham City.[LNB] We've slipped up there a couple of times in recent years and they are a decent side.[LNB]But we should be going to places like St Andrew's looking to win rather than sneak a point.[LNB]The manager has to instil some belief in the players that they're capable of going to tough places and getting three points. We need to put that defeat away to Manchester City firmly behind us.[LNB]Victory in the Midlands would breed confidence ahead of the following weekend's clash away to Manchester United.
