Roy agrees with owners
Roy Hodgson says he agrees with the club's owners about Liverpool's performances this season. John Henry and Tom Werner appeared on a phone in on LFCTV on Monday night and after taking questions from fans stated that results have been unacceptable. In his pre-match press conference yesterday Hodgson agreed with the owners but insisted they are all moving in the same direction to achieve long term success. "The only team with better results than us over the past five or six games is Arsenal or Manchester United. If you take the last five or six games we are right up there in terms of results," said the boss. "They (the owners) used the same terms as I would. If you ask me whether results this season over the 17 games we have played are acceptable and is that what you expected when you came to Liverpool Football Club, then I'd say 'no it's unacceptable and I expected much better.' "I don't think the results over 17 games have been that good. We've been saved a bit by our European matches. We've done very well there. I've been satisfied with that because we've not always used our so-called best team. "I'm expecting the next few games to go better. I'm expecting to see the team climb the table. I've seen what the owners said and they spoke very well - Considering it was a phone-in, they did very well. "I don't have any fears or concerns. The owners have made it very clear. They said that they are in it for the long-term and want to be patient. They realise it will take time and that we can't turn things around overnight. "Everything with the owners has been 100 per cent positive. They've been excellent."
