Liverpool 2 Bolton 1 highlights 1/1/11

Roy Hodgson is under intense scrutiny at the moment and rumours say he is on the verge of being sacked if results dont pick up immediately. His Liverpool side are fumbling badly with their poor run of results and after Wednesday's defeat to Wolves showed dismay at the supporters not showing him support and they have in turn forced heavy pressure on the boss to be sacked. However, Hodgson has insisted he will never quit as manager and he is still certain he is the man to lead the club back to their former glories and despite the vehement opposition the Anfield faithful have shown against him since Wednesday's disappointing defeat he will never walk away.

"It has taken me a long while to get to this elevated position coaching one of the best clubs in Europe,'' said the former Fulham manager.



I was very pleased to get the job - I left a very good job to take it - so the last thing in my mind is walking away from a club like this or walking away from football. I want to be here, I want to change things, I want to turn it around and I want to help the club and the new owners get the success they want. There is no security as a Premier League manager and when you take any job you don't take it for security, you take it because you believe you can do it and do it well.''

Bolton last got a point from an Anfield fixture on New Years Day 2002, exactly 9 years ago. Since then they have lost every league game they have played there and have conceeded 19 goals in the process so despite the unrest at Anfield the odds are stacked in the Merseysiders favour and so if there was ever a bit of slack needed they may have it in the fine form they have in this fixture.
