Joe Cole says everyone at Liverpool are responding to manager Roy Hodgson.

There is a natural period of transition from former manager Rafael Benitez's reign but Cole is destined to play a significant part in that.

"All the lads here have got belief in what the manager wants us to do and the new signings have looked good," he told talkSPORT.

"It's a re-build for us but we're doing all right, and we just need to keep improving slowly and gradually."
